    Glad I didn't get tickets.

    Unbelievable footage of violence in Wembley tonight. A literal child gets punched by a full grown man and an Asian man is kicked repeatedly in the head by several people. Disgusting behaviour.

    That's why I detest football. That sort of culture.

    Hopefully all these hooligans will be identified and prosecuted.
    International football brings out the worst in people.

    Club football isn't like this, fortunately.
    Doesn't that video show people trying to stop people without tickets breaking in?

    I’ve watched that three times - where is the child?

    I notice the stewards chucked the Asian guy out.
    About 35 secs in.

    I think he's about 12 to 14.

    That's literally assault against a child, when they find that man he's going to jail for a long time

    I think they were gatecrashers, hence the stewards chucking them out. Still no reason to kick on the ground.

    Perhaps they think a much more dangerous variant will come along.

    I think that is the forecast over 15 years. Still doesn't seem likely to me, even allowing for the high rates of cardio and cerebrovascular disease in survivors.

    This area behind the goal #ENG is attacking the second half is where the biggest crush is. The main steward in the section has described it as a “complete nightmare.” No one has been able to get in or out since about 7.30 she thinks.
