The NPCC's lead for football policing, Mark Roberts, said they had been working with the Foreign and Commonwealth offices to help Russian police understand the "difficult dynamics" of English supporters.

However the head of football policing in England told 5 live Breakfast that those efforts have been "wasted" after the behaviour of English fans in the Netherlands.

Roberts said: "I am concerned that all the efforts we've made to try and help the Russian authorities understand the difficult dynamics of England supporters have gone to waste.

"Countries look at how our supporters behave and think 'why should we tolerate it?'. If the host country finds that behaviour offensive, they will deal with it as they would their own people,"

"I don't think anyone would want to be serving time in a Russian prison labelled as an England football hooligan."

Russian police witnessed the drunken behaviour of English supporters in the Netherlands during their friendly with Holland, where more than 100 England fans were arrested.
