The above article outlines some of the finer points of hooligan culture in Russia, for anyone who is interested.
Ive been following boxing and combat sports for my whole life, am an expert on that, and I can say without a doubt that Eastern Euros tend to be the strongest, toughest, and generally most knowledgable when it comes to combat sports and this is because combat sorts occupy a more accepted position within said societies. This is also why the best boxers of today globally (including Whites and nonWhites) are essentially all Eastern European (Russian, Kazakh, Ukrainian, etc.) There are some OK fighters from the UK but the quality is much lower than in former Soviet Union. This article literally notes that many of the Russian hooligans have advanced boxing or kickboxing training, and thats my whole point.
Because of this, it's no surprise that the Russian hooligans were able to beat up English supporters so easily in the brawls. Media reports have indicated many British fans were hospitalized in the fighting, and theres even photos on social media of Russians showing off bloodied English flags that they "captured" from England supporters. Every article Ive read suggests the Russians got much better out of the brawls than the English in fact it seems the English even ran from the stadium in Marseille in fear.
Many Russians in France are also complaining of an "anti-Russian" sentiment, and as an outsider (I am neither Russian, nor Brit, nor French) I have to say they are 100% correct and it is sickening the amount of bias against Eastern Europeans particularly Russians in this tournament. I infact just watched the BBC broadcast of Russia-Slovakia, and the English commentators from the BBC were brutal, talking about it being a boring game, both teams were just "ordinary sides", and consistently trying to discredit and slam the Russian players and manager by pointing out mistakes. This is the same type of White Englishman who would be over the top with compliments for British Negroes, French Negroes, and the like, hence the negative comments directed at Russians. You see these same British clowns in boxing where they try to support crappy UK negroes when the reality is the best fighters are in Eastern Europe. 2 Thumbs down to these types of Englishman, really are an embarrassment to Europe and this bias shown against the Russians and Slovaks by these Westerners is sickening but very predictable.
As far as Im concerned Eastern Europe is the most right wing and traditional part of Europe so Im happy to support it. You just know part of this anti-Russian bias also stems from a dislike of Putin and the fact the Russians dont accept gays and womens rights.
