Russian ultras ‘attack’ English and Welsh fans in Lille
Trouble involving football fans has continued on the streets of France today despite strict warnings from UEFA. The latest footage from Lille appears to show fans from England and Wales teaming up as tensions between English and Russian supporters remain on a knife-edge. Mobile phone video shows British tourists chanting ‘F*** off Russia, we’re England and Wales’ at Russian hooligans.

UEFA warned that further violence will result in their side’s disqualification, follow
