Sounds easy enough.

 

He probably figures he'll just walk out of the stadium and across Europe in his football boots and kit.

Euro 2012: Players to be booked if they leave the pitch due to racism

 

Uefa president Michel Platini says that any players who walk off the pitch at Euro 2012 due to racial abuse will be booked.

 

A BBC Panorama programme highlighted racism incidents at grounds in Poland and Ukraine, who co-host Euro 2012. Manchester City and Italy striker Mario Balotelli threatened to walk off the pitch if he believed he was a victim.

 

But Platini said: "It's a yellow card. It's not a player - Mr Balotelli - who's in charge of refereeing."

 

Platini insists officials will deal with any incidents. He added: "It's the referee who takes these decisions. Referees can finish the game. They have this power in case of racism," Platini told the BBC's David Bond. "That is, I think, the best way to protect the game against racism. The referee has been given advice and he can stop the game if there are problems."

 

Platini dismissed suggestions that his reputation would be tarnished if there was racial abuse at Euro 2012. "My reputation because there are racists in Poland and Ukraine - are you joking? You think I am responsible for the racists in the rest of Europe or in England or in France?" he said. "My responsibility is not to do nothing - and we have done a lot to change the rules, to change the regulations, to help 'You're Fair' and 'Never Again'. We help them, we do a lot for racism - but I am not responsible for society. "The society is not so easy. You have some problems and we have to organise these Euros from the beginning with some problems because these two countries never welcome so big an event in the past. It was a big challenge for Poland, big challenge for Ukraine, a big challenge for Uefa - and we have done our best."

 

Asked about the footage shown in Panorama's documentary, he said: "We are shocked about racists but we are trying to do something; we have to fight against that. I feel bad. Of course I feel bad because I am not a racist."

 

The 56-year-old also insisted the issue of racism is one that extends far beyond the two host nations of Euro 2012. Platini, who has been Uefa president since January 2007, said: "If you want to have a programme on racism you can go everywhere now because there is an increase in the nationalists in many, many countries. It is not just a fact only in Poland and Ukraine.

 

"You can go in France, United States, in England and you will find the problem of racism. You have more nationalists in many, many countries in east of Europe - that is true."

 

The Uefa president has previously criticised the host nations, describing Ukrainian hoteliers as "bandits" for the rising cost of accommodation and bemoaning the quality of pitches in Poland. The Ukrainian president, Viktor Yanukovych, has downplayed fears over racist attacks in Ukraine, saying hooligans were known to the authorities and security services "will be watching all the matches closely".

Euro 2012: Uefa confirms 'isolated racist chanting' towards Dutch

 

Uefa has confirmed there were "isolated incidents of racist chanting" aimed at Netherlands players during an open training session.

 

But the governing body has not revealed whether it is investigating the incident in Krakow, Poland.

 

Captain Mark van Bommel said monkey chants were aimed at team-mates.

 

"Should such behaviour happen at further training sessions, Uefa would evaluate the operational measures to be taken to protect players," Uefa said.

Poland 1 - 1 Greece

 

Poland and Greece both had a man sent off as an eventful opening match of Euro 2012 ended in a draw.

 

Robert Lewandowski headed Poland into the lead before Greece's woes continued with the sending off of Sokratis Papastathopoulos before the break.

 

Dimitris Salpingidis fired in the equaliser after the restart before he was brought down by keeper Wojciech Szczesny, who was shown a straight red.

 

But Giorgos Karagounis's penalty was saved by substitute Przemyslaw Tyton.

Russia 4 - 1 Czech Rep.

 

Russia went top of Group A after two goals by attacking midfielder Alan Dzagoev condemned Czech Republic to defeat in their opening Euro 2012 game.

 

Dzagoev gave Dick Advocaat's side the lead with a shot after Aleksandr Kerzhakov headed against the post.

 

Roman Shirokov made it 2-0 with a chip following good work by Andrey Arshavin.

 

Vaclav Pilar reduced the deficit before two thunderous finishes by Dzagoev and substitute Roman Pavlyuchenko completed the rout.

 

Russia were as ruthless in Wroclaw as the Czechs were poor.

 

Czech coach Michal Bilek now faces a huge task lifting his deflated players ahead of their next game against Greece on 12 June, a match they cannot afford to lose if they are to advance in the tournament.

where is this almighty god save the queen

England will be lucky to get to the quarter finals, they need to retire some of the older players to bring up some of the more young players into the senior squad, like the Rugby team did this year (and still managed to finish 2nd only losing on a dodgy try-decision)

Good start to the tournament.

 

Come on England!

Looking forward to the Oranje match. Hup Holland Hup!!!!!!
