  1. The answer is no punishment. Think about it for 1 second please. How will punishing someone fir being hateful make them any less hateful?

    It won't, fight hate with love don't fight fire with fire. Come on human race we are wiser than this.

  2. Well done Les…for saying you disagree with players being penalized because how in the world does that make any sense for one person to do something to affect another as a consequence

  3. What punishment should Engand face for calling whole nation animals and racists ? When there were only few people "skin heads" who did the whole thing? Shame on you! You are disgrace!

  4. It's very simple, the FA will lose revenue if they ban all racists as there are so many of them so it's not in their financial interests. Companies always put their own financial interests before morals.

  5. Imagine thinking you should ban a country/club from competing on the basis of what some of their fans have done. If that was the case then every country/club would be banned from all competitions. I've yet to see a fanbase in which at least one of the fans has never verbally abused a player playing against their team. Also, walking off the pitch, especially when you're winning, is the dumbest idea possible, you're giving these people the power that you don't want them to have.

  6. UEFA were never going to do anything other than what they've done previously (fines, stadium bans). Until a major nation or club side is leading a game, and then decides to walk off the pitch, FORCING UEFA to have to make the choice between punishing the team that walks off or the team on the side of the racism, then nothing will change. England had the opportunity to walk off when winning against Bulgaria, and they blew it.
