BREAKING: Russia handed suspended disqualification from Euro 2016

UEFA has warned Russia that a repeat of the violence that marred the game with England on Saturday will see them kicked out of Euro 2016

The Russian Football Union have been handed a suspended disqualification from Euro 2016 and fined €150,000 following the violence that marred the Euro 2016 game with England in Marseille on Saturday, UEFA has announced.

Hundreds of Russian fans charged through a flimsy security cordon at the Stade Velodrome following the final whistle in the 1-1 draw to attack England fans.

The incident came at the end of a day of clashes between the two sets of supporters, as well as police and local gangs, in the Old Port area of the city.
