True.
But to be fair the Russians decided to launch a surprise attack on an unsuspecting bunch of England fans at the Velodrome... it's like they wanted to prove themselves as the toughest hooligans in Europe, but failed to understand the basic rules of hooliganism... in that it consists of an organised fight outside and away from peaceful spectators.
English fans understand this, evidently Russian fans do not.
Also, the Russians are new to this game. All the real mean bastards of the English firm are already banned from travel in Europe. Genuinely don't care how much Russians train with their 4oz gloves and mouth guards... if they came up against the real mean cunts amongst the English hooligan elite they would come unstuck 100%. In fact, they only proved themselves as cowards waiting until 2016 to challenge England for the hooligan title. Go back to the 70s and 80s where were Russia? Probably just started training...
