Dozens of Russian 'ultras' clashed with England fans chanting 'We hate Russia' during a fresh round of violence in the centre of Lille today.
French police used pepper spray as two groups of supporters squared up in the northern French city – just hours after a separate flare-up at a bar.
Punches were thrown during the brawl in the early hours of this morning after England fans had left a nearby pub.
Russia's 'hyper violent' thugs had earlier ignored UEFA's threat to ban their country from Euro 2016 as they attacked English and Welsh supporters near the city's train station.

I really like Christiano Ronaldo, but for him to complain that Iceland celebrated too much is kind of funny, considering that he celebrates every goal of his as though he just cured cancer.

It would be even more helpful if you understood that those hooligans will be the first line of defense. They’re already there, keyboard cowboy.

Barbaric? Touch a receiver, and a puny yellow flag gets tossed. After 10 minutes of review, it goes in favor of the pantywaist. Because scoring.

There is no full contact, as in NFL football. in soccer there is no need for padding. Except for the feigned injuries ...and the occasional stubbed toe, soccer injuries are laughable. And feigned injuries all to common.
USA style football is a mans game. And is eclipsed in roughness only by rugby and possibly hockey. But those games are not regimented..... USA Football is War as strategized by generals and fought by roughneck armies. No other ‘goal’ driven sports is as exciting.

you’re kidding, right?
you get out there and take a hit from a defensive end.

Soccer evolved into rugby, rugby evolved into American football. If you believe in evolution, then football is the most “evolved” and therefore the best sport in the world.

OAL! Russia 0-1 Slovakia (Weiss 32)
This is a wonderful goal! Hamsik, in the centre circle, played a fantastic 45-yard pass down the inside-left channel to Weiss, who sped into the box, came back inside on his right foot and curled it into the far corner. The defending wasn’t great - Smolnikov went to the wrong fire - but it was a beautiful pass and an emphatic finish.
