After the disgraceful scenes in Serbia yesterday near the end of the u-21 match between Serbia and England, where England footballers were subjected to racial abuse, as well as being the target of stones being thrown by the crowd plus being confronted violently by Serbian players and coaches, the pressure is on UEFA to take a firm stance and to ban Serbia from international football. It’s vital that UEFA stamps down on this behavior and gives Serbia a punishment that will force its FA to try to end the awful behavior by its fans, players and coaching staff.
