Of course it did, just as it would have started here if we had been in Bulgaria's position. England fans always abuse the opposition anthem in some way or other - yes even, or rather especially, at Wembley when we outnumber the visitors.

It's a mere nothing of course compared to racist behaviour but it is against UEFA rules and we all want UEFA to enforce their rules don't we?



Expecting FIFA or UEFA to act on a complaint by England with the full force of the rules is like urinating into a typhoon.

It is not so much because Bulgaria (or Montenegro, or anyone else) has lots of allies in FIFA/UEFA, more that England is Johnny No-Mates.

One small point, Bulgaria aren't going to the finals, they are bottom of the league.


I'm pretty sure I heard that irrespective of their performance in these group stages, they can still qualify for the Euros through a play off because of their Nations League results?

How that works I don't know but unless UEFA ban them because of their racism record, they are still in with a good chance of being in next year's tournament

Perhaps the behaviour of (some of) our fans whilst abroad and in drink at FIFA and UEFA competition matches has rightly or wrongly soured our reputation forever

They could ban them from the next world cup and ban their club sides from European competitions.  That would hurt the racists that support these clubs. Fines don't work and are no deterrent. Closing part of the stadium didn't work either.
