    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.

    https://twitter.com/KyleJGlen/status/1414294866704617486

    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.

    It’s a contact sport. If you take the violence out of the game, it’s not worth watching.

    On some of the more outlandish scare stories:

    A million! That’s 850,000 more deaths. MRC estimates the IFR is now 0.085%. A million deaths would require there to be 1 billion people in the UK.

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

    In which case they should be recommending people to get Delta.

    Slight echoes of the Dutch not finishing off West Germany in 1974.

    But back then Germany had got their goals before half time.

    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.

    Southgate needs to give a better team talk than he did at half time.

    Come on lads, I can practically smell that knighthood!
    Come on lads, you don't want to end up at penalties and a Pizza Hut commercial.

    For Scots, the soft xenophobia of Anyone But England is how we work through our own inadequacies on the pitch and off.

    Lets see if he lasts longer than ten minutes unlike the last match. Good move though.

    Teams that don't deserve it win all the time. In a way, if you manage to eke out a win despite not seeming to deserve it, you probably deserve it even more for having overcome your being not as good.

    Finished watching The Handmaid's Tale. Fitba still going on?

    Going off the various scenes earlier there are going to be literal riots if Italy win aren't there?

    Let’s have a goal to finish it. Losing on penalties is not the end Southgate is looking for.
