Looks like their joy and celebrations have turned into rioting in Paris..
The Express seemed to make a lot out of a bottle being thrown and a bin set alight Very hard to actually judge the extent of the problems.

My brother is in France at the moment and he reckons the frogs already think the world cup is theirs-arrogant tw@ts. Arrogant perhaps, but correct. I wonder who outnumbered whom; arrogant French tw@ts or English people saying and/or singing “It’s coming home!” in mass hysteria. Edited by YT (16 Jul 2018 8.36am)

So the feedback I have had from France this morning was 'Yesterday was unreal. People dancing in the street. It was really moving!' I just hate papers like the Express that look for the negative in every damned thing.

So French supporters go crazy celebrating winning the WC final while the English supporters go crazy winning a quarter final. That kind of shows the difference and gulf in expectations and levels of football involved.

A couple of dozen yobs in Paris see it as an opportunity to loot, wouldn't have been vastly different here and on par with what happened when we played. So that means we are all just the same then. Well, quelle surprise
