Euro 2016: Last chance for Russia after UEFA hands out 'suspended disqualification'.

2016-06-14 3 Dailymotion

Russia will be kicked out of Euro 2016 if there is a repeat of the crowd trouble seen against England in Marseilles, UEFA has ruled. <br /><br /> There were ugly scenes after the final whistle of the 1-1 draw in the Stade Velodrome on Saturday when Russian supporters broke through security to attack English fans. <br /><br /> “This disqualification is suspended until the end of the tournament. Such suspension could be lifted if incidents of a similar nature – this is crowd disturbances – occur inside the stadium at any of the remaining matches of the Russian team during the tournament.” UEFA’s Pedro Pinto said. <br /><br /> European football’s governing body also issued the Russian Football Union with 150,000 euro fine for the disturbances inside the stadium in Marseilles. <br /><br /> There are fears of further violence with both sets of supporters expected in Lille later this week. <br />England were also threatened with disqualification from the tournament but not formally charged. <br /><br /> Russia’s Artem Dzyuba responded to the penalty by saying English fans, some of whom have been jailed, were no angels. <br /><br /> “It is impossible that only one side is guilty in conflict, while all the others are victims. I think both teams should keep an eye on their own supporters and get their message through to them. Russians should not be blamed solely for this,” Dzyuba said. <br /><br /> France appears set to deport some supporters after Prime Minister Manuel Valls said ‘some people cannot stay on national territory.’<br /><br /> On Tuesday, riot police stopped a bus carrying dozens of Russian fans in the town of Mandelieu near Cannes.<br />
