I think the hosts will be a force to reckon with on the pitch. They have a new weapon that no nation can defend against. It's called Video Assisting Russia.

I don't think it makes any difference. If the Russian mob fancy a ruck, they'll do it anyway. They have the same mentality of our lot 30 years ago.

The Russian fans genuinely train for this type of thing, they go out purely looking for a fight - ours always seemed to be a load of pissed up morons ending up getting into bother, which obviously isn't great to see, but I don't think it's anywhere near as sinister.

But if the govt have told them they don't want it too happen as it Will be bad for their image it won't happen. It's clear to everyone what happens if Putin isn't obeyed.

A kind of double bluff by bojo? Quite high stakes if you're just going to watch a football match.

Think their MMA fighters (they aren't football hooligans) have said as much, if they're told to behave they will, if not, any England fan is fair game.

Pretty sure we have this fear every world cup. If it's not getting mugged by a South African it's getting dragged into a Brazillian Favela and never seen again.
I'm fairly confident it will be fine. No doubt there will be pockets of trouble, there often is, but I'm not expecting widespread beatings just for being English.
I guess we'll see how Arsenal get on in Moscow in a few weeks. Should be good barometer, right?
Johnson invoking Godwins Law is stupid. Even by his standards. Like it or not you do need proof before you start throwing around accusations.

In a documentary about Russian firms made after France, they basically said that any Englishman in Russia for the WC will be fair game.
As the Russian sports minister and Putin praised the Russian hooligans in France, and it appears many of them were given free travel there by the government, I don't think they will really care if a couple of fans get a kicking in the summer.
