Wembley's response a fitting tribute to Paris tragedy

Soccer was united on Tuesday evening as both England and France supporters showed their solidarity in the wake of the terror attacks.

LONDON -- It was all about the occasion rather than the game, but that’s the way it was meant to be. From the England fans singing La Marseillaise before kick off to the floral tributes which laid beside the pitch throughout the match, football’s response to the Paris terror attacks was a fitting one.

With the grieving process continuing back home, the France national side came to Wembley not so much for a friendly international as to play their part in the first step on the road to recovery after the events of Friday night.
