Unfortunately England fans at some point will be involved in situations like that.
Day 3 | Poland vs Netherlands | Slovenia vs Denmark | Serbia vs England
- Thread starter SilentWitness
- Start date
German police apparently told Sky that's what happened.
Source?
Only report I see about a guy being shot by police today had no connection to football
It seems some Albanians joined in which could become a real issue.
England fans have a reputation, but that also means others seek them out. It’s happened before.
I think that's idiots attacking idiots. Your dog whistling ain't gonna work.
Do you work for them or have someone close to you who does?
Slovenia vs Denmark is meh.
Going to watch for Hojlund.
Well, it is Albanians and Serbs fighting. No idea, if English are involved.
Eh? I completely agree. Just stating the facts.
Trying to compete with English cops who drive over cows.
Nope, but I live in Germany since 2006. I'm not joking when I say that the German police is truly praiseworthy compared to other european police forces, especially the French one.
Yeah saw some posts after. Sad to see but this sort of thing does happen when you get nations together in a big event. Glad police deal with this with strength.
You are meh!
But yes we are in a transition period and not impressed by Hjulmands selection so can't blame people for not looking forward to this.
Its really wild how deep that Balkan dislike goes. I worked with two employees here in the US who were second generation and they had so much irrational hatred for each other they had to be let go.
I mean regardless of whether that is actually true or some English spin, it's a bit silly that Bundesliga never schedules Dortmund and Schalke for home games on the same day, yet the organizers put Serbs and Albanians two RE stops away from each other, when they could have put 800km between them for good measure.
It was at the Dutch fanzone and they saw it happening. Maybe not directly football related but during the EC nonetheless.
Hojlund and sesko on the same pitch.
According to police there's no indication of any football connection. The guy has been shot in the leg after threatening police with a hammer
Will Denmark v Slovenia be a good watch?
Dislike doesn't cover it. Serbs and Albanians is pure hatred.
Stupid of the UEFA to put the two countries within 30min of eachother
Sure but if it happens at a fanzone it is in a way EC related.
Eriksen playing #10, Hojlund up top plus couple of attacking fullbacks progressing the ball. I think it should be quite attacking.
It didn't, it happened at a bar and they closed the whole area after the incident for investigation
It is simply irresponsible. I somehow thought they would tke „politics“ into account when allocating teams to cities.
Schmeichel talking about his son with such love is absolutely wholesome.
Ben Sesko starts for Slovenia, he is 9/1 to score first
Ok, I guess the Dutch fans live witnessing it were mistaking the area as part of their fanzone then.
It's the Reeperbahn, it's much more than a fan zone
Not football related from what's known so far
I think we really can both agree it wasn't football related but very near football fans, right? Feels like a little daft disscussion.
Fair enoughI think we really can both agree it wasn't football related but very near football fans, right? Feels like a little daft disscussion.
Correct me if I'm wrong but they may not be Albanian 'fans' that have gone to Germany to watch their team. I think (and someone in Germany will know better) that like in England, there's a sizeable amount of ethnic Albanians that live and work in Germany, in that case it would be quite hard to do anything about.
First report it was an axe, then next a pickaxe, now a hammer.
Tbf yeah I watched that in a bar in Cambodia and was super hyped.
Was in a bar in Heidelberg last night and lots of German, Scottish and Danish fans all getting along fine until the booze really starts flowing and a few embarrassing scuffles play out. Be interesting to see how it goes in the US in 2026 where this level of open drinking is so constrained.
The fan zone is next to Reeperbahn, so yes, definitely football fans nearby. Hammer and Molotov cocktail is a pretty standard afternoon at Silbersackstrasse though…I think we really can both agree it wasn't football related but very near football fans, right? Feels like a little daft disscussion.
