Euro 2012

I don't think the march beforehand by the Russians helped it any, there was already tension (I know it was Russia day but still) and it just escalated it.

UEFA have fined Russia 120,000 and given them a suspended 6 point deduction for the next European Championship qualifying stages for the trouble during their opening game at the Euros. Considering UEFA's history of punishment, that's pretty big. I think they are trying to gain a better image for themselves to a point, though that's just the cynic in me.

whomever, I assume local Polish (Warsaw) authorities, approved the march of Russian fans on the 12 of June ( of all days) should be held criminably repsonsible for inciting riot - that was plain stupid
 
Huge win for Portugal there, they're on 3 points along with two others, Holland have none. What would be great from a neutral perspective is if Holland won tonight so any two of four could go through. In reality I think Germany will beat Holland and knock them out.
