I have a feeling it’s coming. Particularly if the Brits vote to stay in the EU (through voter fraud).

It will get nasty.

The Russian Ultras are the toughest thugs in the soccer hooligan circuit, the English by contrast are beer-bellied loud mouths who sing a good fight.

One of the Russians was interviewed before the tournament and dismissed the English as too old, too fat and too drunk to fight but they, the Russians, would get a bit of practice in on them and steal their flags before the main act which he said would be against the Poles and Swedes.

Looking at the video it does appear he has a point, the flabby-bellied English fans shout and sing a lot but the real violence is clearly coming from the Russkies.
