Saturday's action in the European Championship has demonstrated that England faces tougher opposition than expected by media commentators.
England supporters club spokesman Raymond Cist told Footballs Today: "We came to France thinking we'd sail through the group stage, but to our surprise we found some pretty tough opposition from local hooligans, Russian ultras and, of course, the French police, who have an unfair advantage in that they use tear gas, which is not in the spirit of the game, to be honest. However, I'm confident the lads will regroup and show the rest of Europe that we're no pushovers."
Despite England's strong performance in their opening match, Russia caused an upset by equalising in the last minute of stoppage time when a hardcore group of their fans charged at a section of fleeing England supporters.
