After large scale violence yesterday, following the 3 days of non-stop fighting in 1998, French youths decided to attack English fans in a pub. (Video in article) [quote] This shocking footage shows the moment a gang of Marseille youths launched an unprovoked attack on England supporters sitting in a bar in the Old Port district. In the video, the England fans were seen sitting in the Baloo Bar and adjacent pizzeria when the group of around 20 French hooligans arrived at the scene. One then hurled a bottle at the England supporters, before the gang started chucking chairs and tables at their opponents. Amid the ugly scenes, the English fans retaliated and threw chairs back at the local hooligans - before two rival fans squared up to one another. Riot police then arrived on the scene and the French fans dispersed, before dashing down the Rue Fortia. [/quote] Yesterday and the day before, brawls between English, Russian and French fans have been breaking out all across the town. This all started in 1998 after 3 days of bloody brawls. If this escalates any further, someone may die, all because of a football game. Riot police have been arresting fans on both sides and have been using tear gas to disperse brawls. Riot police are also constantly patrolling in Marseille. The following is a separate article regarding clashes against police yesterday. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36504410 [quote]On Thursday four French policemen were injured as they moved in on England fans, the news website France Bleu reported. Many of the fans had been drunk, it said. After the tear gas was released, the police restored calm to the area at about 02:30 local time. There had been no damage to local property, they said.

BREAKING NEWS: Brawls between French fans and Irish fans are happening as I type this. Riot police are on the scene. This is due to the match between the two sides happening today. More on this as it happens. A security breach is being investigated, as Russian fans were able to smuggle flares and fireworks into the stadium. A firecracker was smuggled in and detonated in the stadium, creating a huge bang which rang through the stadium and terrified people watching, as they thought there was an attack.
