And despite all the media coverage about Russians and English, it seems last night a large group of Nice Ultras attacked a friendly gathering of Northern Irish and Polish fans who fought back together. One is reported dead after falling from the promenade and onto the beach, but I believe its unrelated.
Im just wondering when UEFA are going to threaten to kick out France. It seems there is a constant here, and that is French local groups starting trouble.
Doesn't Marseille consider itself not part of France, so i guess the locals would do anything to discredit the tournament.
I'm not sure it goes that far, but it is a city well noted for social problems and gang related trouble.
Just after I typed that I can now see that Germany v Ukraine also ended with fighting in the street, apparently Neo-Nazi slogans and chanting by the German fans, chairs and tables thrown at each other, punches exchanged. So are Ukraine and Germany going to be threatened with expulsion or is this a crusade against England only?
