RUSSIAN AND ENGLAND FANS STILL CAUSING TROUBLE.

In spite of UEFA ban looming on both teams, their fans have chosen
not to behave themselves as the clashes between the groups have
continued, this time involving another set of fans, welsh fans.
Yesterday afternoon, a group of Russian fans who call themselves
'ultras' attacked English and welsh fans in a bar. Both groups threw
chairs and object at themselves. The police reported the arrest of two
Russians.
When the police arrived to separate the groups, chants and
yells of "we are England, we are Wales f**k Russia" were heard.
The Russian team had earlier been handed sanctions which the
Russian sports minister Vital Markin described as 'excessive'. This is
the opinion held by many, who feel that the English fans are not
'angels'. The disqualification initially considered for Russia as
punishment, has been suspended till the end of the tournament. But may
have to be reviewed if the violence continues.
For consecutive three days leading up to the tournament, Russian
and English fans squared up big time, throwing chairs and bottles at
each other. In the process they drew volleys of tear gas from the
police who struggled and are still struggling to handle the ugly trend
of hooliganism.
A few 'cool headed' English supporters who are not part of the
fray, said they can't wear their jerseys, as it could make them easy
targets for Russians.
