English Media: About the Riots and I. Pankratjevas Escape

„Simply terrible“, - said BBC commentator Alan Green, talking about the fans' clashes before the match between the Lithuanian and English national teams.

Such and similar expressions were not lacking on "Twitter" and other social networks after the Lithuanian defeat 0-3 to England.

A significant part of them was directed at the stadium pitch.

„It's not easy to play on such a pitch, but we did our job. We simply did“, - said another commentator Danny Mills.

„Very deceptive pitch“, - he added.

Other users blamed the Lithuanians for a dull and boring game, laughing at such an easy victory.

„Lithuania - the worst team in the group. We can beat them as much as we want“, - rejoiced Chris Waddle, BBC commentator.

BBC journalists did not miss the opportunity to mock Igor Pankratjev, who left the coaching position and refused to speak.

„What a drama! I. Pankratjev entered and resigned. We hope Roy Hodgson won't do the same“, - they joked.
