English soccer fans attacked in Russia
More wild news from the soccer world — Russia had a soccer match with England today, and a big supporting cast of Englishmen traveled to Russia to watch the match. But, before the game even got started, two separate incidents caused injuries to a number of English fans. Ten or more were attacked by Russian fans in a fight, and at least 3 others were attacked in a Moscow bar by Russians dressed in black! Russian police claimed the English fans were drunk and looking for trouble. That’s great. The kicker was the notice that the British Embassy posted to the traveling fans: “be as inconspicuous as possible,” “be sober” and “leave the vicinity of the stadium as quickly as possible after the final whistle.” Fans shouldn’t have to fear for their safety from other bonehead fans — this is pretty ridiculous!
