STUPID SILLY THINGS

Owen said:

"I hate the thought of us qualifying ahead of Turkey and the other teams in our group on merit and then not get there because of a stupid silly thing off the pitch."

"It would be awful to think you've got the best team in the world or Europe and it is spoilt because certain people can't behave. It just doesn't make sense. We want everyone to behave. The players will play their part, in their actions and what they say. Hopefully we will score goals but if we do we won't be running up into the crowd and jumping into them.”

"The main bulk of it lies with the supporters and the individuals that cause trouble. Everyone knows there are a few fans that do it but they do spoil it for everyone."

Beckham the Ex England captain said:

"90% of the fans are absolutely amazing, it's just that 10% that just need to stay in control. It is going to get us in a lot of trouble, we have been warned already. We don't want to face elimination from the competition, that is the last thing we want.Racism, violence and jumping on the pitch has to be put out of the game. Respect has to be shown to the opposition's national anthem, booing a national anthem is disrespectful. It shouldn't happen, we wouldn't like it if it happened to us."
