England have been reported to FIFA by the anti-racism body FARE after fans sang abusive songs about Rio and Anton Ferdinand during the match against San Marino.
The song called for the brothers to be put on a bonfire and burned.
Rio Ferdinand has tweeted about it:
"You expect and accept banter from fans on the terraces as its part of what makes the game great, but racism is not banter - and from your own fans. WOW - Always a small minority who ruin it for others"
But lots of you have got in touch this morning saying chanting from the terraces comes with the territory.....
Is offensive chanting simply part of football?
