MOSCOW — The Latest on Tuesday at the World Cup (all times local):
1:30 p.m.
Moscow police say they have detained a person after a statue was vandalized with an "England" inscription at the stadium where England played Colombia in the World Cup.
Russian social media users posted a picture of the statue of former Spartak Moscow player Fyodor Cherenkov, who died in 2014, with the word "England" inscribed in red across the chest.
Police say that an investigation is under way and "as a result of the measures taken by police, the individual who committed this act has been identified and detained."
Police did not identify the suspect, did not specify a nationality, and did not say whether the person admitted to vandalizing the statue.
