Yet more unseemly scenes have emerged from France and, again, it's involving fans of teams in Group B.

Russia play Slovakia in Lille in Wednesday's early kick-off while a number of English and Welsh fans are believed to also be staying in the city as it is close to Lens, the location of England v Wales on Thursday. Scenes of bottles and chairs being flung outside a cafe in Lille reached social media on Tuesday afternoon and it's a worrying sign ahead of the second round of fixtures in the group. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMrnFgChPw0 Russia have been handed a suspended disqualification due to the role of their fans in the violence in Marseille at the weekend, with Uefa promising to remove the national team from Euro 2016 if any more trouble came from their supporters at stadiums. English and Welsh fans can be heard chanting "Fuck off Russia, we're England and Wales!" before men with their faces hidden walk away from the fracas.
