Is it perhaps because were a multicultural society and we may have more than just white fans out there!!

I have been to one or two England away games ( not out of personal choice I must add ) and at the time , 15-20 yrs ago ,I saw no non-white fans . From what I see today little has changed.

Ukraine hold on to qualify, despite Taylor giving the Portuguese a goal.

 

Good match. Portugal dominated possession and chances, but Ukraine tried to play, and didn't just hoof it deep.

 

Pyatov made a couple of fantastic saves.

That’s good, Ukraine has a great tradition of nice football. They’ve had good results with youth team.

I don't know what you think you read, but I suggest reading it again.

 

My argument is that nations who have embraced racial diversity have reaped the benefits, not least in the sporting arena.

Nations who have embraced racial diversity? Are you talking about Britain?

 

I mean, fuck Bulgarian fascists. But a country with Britain's imperialist history, currently riddled with xenophobia. A country in which I raise my half-Irish and half-Polish kids and experience - on a charitable interpretation - pure national ignorance on a daily basis...

 

Maybe some sense of perspective is called for here?

Without commenting on your specific experiences, I don't see how it can be argued that there is not substantial racial diversity in the UK.

There is. That doesn't mean it's embraced...

 

I'd say it mostly is. I mean, I don't like this government, but our Prime Minister has Turkish Muslim and German Jewish ancestry, our Chancellor of the Exchequer is a Pakistani Muslim, our Foreign Secretary is a Jew and our Home Secretary is Ugandan Indian. And you just won't hear the kind of disgusting chants heard tonight, or see the Nazi salutes seen tonight, in a British stadium.
