- England fans were affected by tear gas during a Greece match and the FA is looking into claims of aggressive police behavior.

Several England fans have come forward with complaints of mistreatment by Greek riot police during the recent Nations League match against Greece in Athens. The Football Association has launched an investigation into these reports, which include allegations of being tear gassed while trying to enter the Olympic Stadium. One witness even described the organization as "incredulous" and claimed that their tickets were not properly checked at the entrance.

Another fan stated that Greek authorities not only tear gassed them, but also used physical force against the traveling supporters, suggesting a "deliberate policy" against the English fans. Several others shared their experiences of being pushed back by riot shields, causing them to miss the start of the game. Despite these troubling incidents, England was able to secure a comfortable 3-0 victory in what was interim manager Lee Carsley's second to last game in charge.

The FA has released a statement acknowledging the difficulties faced by some fans outside of the stadium and is currently gathering more information on the situation. The Football Supporters' Association has also received similar reports and is urging fans to share their personal accounts. They expressed frustration at the lack of proper organization and the use of tear gas and shields by local police in what should have been a simple task of rearranging a queue.

While England may have emerged victorious on the pitch, the events that transpired off the field continue to be a cause for concern. The FSA plans to address these issues with the FA and bring them to the attention of UEFA and Fans Europe. They emphasized the need for a safe and enjoyable experience for all fans, especially on a night when the team achieved a great result.

In the end, England's win propelled them to the top of Group B2 in the Nations League, overtaking previously unbeaten Greece who had defeated them 2-1 at Wembley just a month prior. The team will now turn their attention to their upcoming match against Republic of Ireland on Sunday.
