Rewatching the game, it's so weird and troubling to me that England football crowds are 95% white faces. Can't help but feel that the EDL types have made crowds a toxic place for PoC despite an ethnically diverse team.

Yeah that might have a lot to do with it. It'll be interesting to see whether anything is noticeably different after Russia now that I've become aware of the issue.
I hope so. I’m a QPR season ticket holder and I know we have a significant number of BME/PoC fans, always have.

I don't think it's ever been a problem at club level. But I can't blame people from immigrant backgrounds for not wanting to fly the St George's Cross at a time like this. It's not like England has been kind to them lately.

I think you’re slightly overplaying the flag issue and possibly underplaying the fact that for many their allegiance is split. Many of the guys I went to school with who were born and raised here but who’s family are from Ghana, Jamaica etc support them for internationals
