It's been well documented why a lot of England fans havnt gone to the World Cup .

But I have been surprised by the numbers from countries further afield than us .

Unlike our Goverment who have distanced themselves !

Do you think other countries have given thie fans help to travel ?

A lot of the stadium in tonight's England Tunisia game was filled with local Russians.

I was wondering if that was the case yes .

Isn't it normal for the host country to get quite a few tickets? I mean I don't really know, football isn't my thing, but I thought that's the way these things work.

A lot of England fans decided not to travel to Russia because of what has been going on between the 2 countries. So yes spare tickets are sold to locals. The last thing Putin wants is empty stadiums on global televised games.

I thought it was because they were scared of getting the shit kicked out of them?

You have consistently told us that there has been nothing going on between the UK and Russia, it seems strange that you are now admitting that there has been something going on.

Where have I ever said that on the forum? Can you post a link to it?

The skripal poison fall out in Salisbury has been all over the news between the UK and Russia, who is to blame remains a mystery but it's been portrayed in the news as a diplomatic fall out between the UK and Russia.

Then there was the stand off in Syria between the UK/France/USA and Assads Syrian forces backed by Russia and Iran. On top of this you also have the threat of violent football hooligans in Russia targeting England fans at the world cup but Russian authorities are reported to have cracked down on it for this tournament.

You just said it again! "Who is to blame remains a mystery" why would England fans not travel to Russia if it's a mystery as to who attacked a British citizen, a foreign citizen and a British policeman? Are you suggesting that perhaps these fans think it's Russia who was behind the attack?

Because some people blindly believe the mainstream news media and that is how it has been portrayed in the media.

Ask yourself this was the media right when it reported there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? We now know there weren't any WMD, but it was portrayed in the media that there were.

Scroll up to reread everything you talked about that you learned directly from the media.
