Easy....bars and cafes in the middle of the city would be full of people out on a Friday - many watching the game. Plus, you'd think the security forces would have their eye on the mass of humanity inside the stadium.

Could get worse yet. This is awful.
It's gonna be a whole lot worse unfortunately
France 24 is doing my head in, they are literally on air just reading tweets.
wtf is going on in paris right now? holy shit.
France is pretty fecked. Unconfirmed reports that attacker near the stadium was a suicide bomber.
Bad stuff all over the place. They are talking about a suicide bomber now.
Feck
Sky are saying a suicide bomber in the crowd at the Germany game , is this correct?
I wouldn't risk travelling to france at the moment.
And they will host Euro 2016...
Feck football when this shit is happening..Makes you wake up to cold reality.
This shit seriously can't be stopped.
You can stop thousands getting killed - 9/11 - possibly stop hundreds killed in subway attacks.
But, how the hell do you stop 2/3 guys getting out of the house with a AK - 47 - multiple clips of ammo and just stopping at a random restaurant and killing maybe 5/10 people at each location
Wear people down through the sheer terror and attrition. No need for huge networks, money or planning.
feck being a politician or a security official in charge of stopping this type of terrorism

Sounds overly dramatic but hope our French posters are keeping safe
Unconfirmed reports that the attack near the Stade de France involved a suicide bomber.
Indeed, and it would not only the direct thread of a bomb but the possibility of people being crushed if crowds panicked.
Absolutely terrible.
Thank goodness this didn't happen 15 mins later, thousands of people would have been leaving the stadium all at once.

Exactly the reaction the terrorists are looking for I guess.
Hollande was at the stadium and his security brough him away.
You have to question the capabilities of the French intelligence agencies.
Could this put the Euro's in doubt?
Don't let them win. Could be anyone's turn next. Civilised peoples need to stand together.
