The first week of the European Championships in France was poisoned by the actions of a minority of supporters but the warning signs were in place well ahead of time
SPECIAL REPORT
Uefa and French authorities were taken by surprise by the scale of the aggression and violence in the first days of Euro 2016. There were brutal scenes on the streets of Marseille last weekend and also in Lille where known German hooligans engaged in trouble with rival Ukrainians. Furthermore, Croatia fans managed to smuggle in and ignite multiple flares during their game against Czech Republic on Friday night.
