The ‘Commando Hooligans’

World Football

Available for over a year

As France reach the knock-out stage of Euro 2016, former international striker Louis Saha assesses their chances of lifting the trophy. We look back at the fan violence in Marseille, and the part played by so-called ‘Commando Hooligans’. We get reaction from Iceland to Cristiano Ronaldo’s post-match criticism of their mentality. And, after Dunga is sacked as Brazil coach, we hear from the assistant coach of Peru, who beat Brazil to knock them out of the Copa America and seal Dunga’s fate. Nolberto Solano tells us Dunga’s sacking was coming, and an expanded Copa America should be repeated. Picture: France beat Albania to reach the knock-out stages of Euro 2016. Credit: Getty Images.
