One British citizen was detained on a train heading to Volgograd, the Interfax news agency said, after apparently getting into an altercation with a police officer.

A second man was also detained and treated in hospital for an injury to his hand.

It later emerged that two British nationals had been charged with minor hooliganism and being drunk in public.

England are hoping to banish memories of 2014. Four years ago in Brazil, they crashed out without a win.

You who stated dozens of times on here that the world would boycott it


Which countries have even, diplomatically?

One player - in one match - manages to out-do Wayne Wooney's tally in three entire World Cups !

I always said he was rubbish.

Now, you are giving football facts and opinions, including that you never rated a particular ex-international player!

Welcome to real world, where literally billions of other people also watch, follow and talk about the beautiful game every day.

Russia have a good game against Egypt. Look and no 'forfeits' either.

There is always the Tri Series on the Pakistani channel Prime TV.

BBC say that over 21 million of us viewed the Tunisia game, 50% more than the Royal wedding.


Each to their own. But, at least, the majority of people are beginning to get their priorities right.

If there was no football on TV then we will just have the usual tripe on, whatever that is ?

It's not like no one is forcing people to watch it. ITK, wants it's the World Cup to be a failure and England to fail early. Just so he can be correct.

Correct - as on the World Cup boycott, flight MH370, Labour creating the National Debt etc?


And the mandatory smug categorisation and derogation of those less fortunate, or disabled.

An accurate analysis of the thinking of a flawed individual who delights in misfortune and failure, whatever the effort of so many.

Perhaps you'd like to compare to the number of times Germany has won - and been runner-up - since then ?

ITK you could buy the rights. Scottish football is terrible.
