Like I said earlier, for the Russians it is like a job. You can see the videos on youtube or them fighting in forests and the likes, they take is very seriously. Any England fan putting themselves in the situation where they know there is going to be trouble with them is either very brave or completely stupid.

You can't ban England or Russia because of what their fans are doing miles from the ground. If there is trouble inside the ground then fair enough but not for something where the various FAs have absolutely no control.
