Again, there are real problems with Ingerland fan culture and they do need to be dealt with (there's been a tendency recently to laugh it off and act as if it's all ironic, and, well, clearly it is isn't) but the idea that English football culture is uniquely Problematic is absolute rubbish.
I certainly don't disagree (see Rangers passim) that there's an element of football culture that if exaggerated and triumphalist, has a tendency to overwhelm 'good fans.'
The difference this time is that the England team were very much a proxy for the culture war and to see Farage, GBNews wet wipes, Boris etc be utter sh-ts before the competition, then flag wave at the end and whip up the sentiment that has led to the anthem booing, and more than likely to the casual racism after the game really just re-iterated everything that everyone hates about England; it's never the team, never the players. It's the 'fans'. And by fans, it's not those at home watching it on the telly or even most watching it at the stadium, but the louts and the political flag shaggers.
