England and Russia warned set to face Euro 2016 disqualification if violence continues

England and Russia have been threatened with expulsion from Euro 2016 after the disgraceful scenes in Marseille. 

Three days of violence in Marseille culminated with Russian supporters attacking England fans inside the Stade Velodrome at the end of a 1-1 draw in the Group B game. 

Russia appeared to bear the brunt of the blame in the first UEFA statement issued on Sunday, with European football's governing body launching disciplinary proceedings for crowd disturbances, racist behaviour and setting off fireworks. 

But on Sunday night, UEFA's executive committee issued a stern warning that levelled accusations at both countries and said a repeat of the violence in Marseille could lead to the disqualification of both nations.. 

UEFA urged the English FA and the Russian Football Union to tell their respective supporters to 'behave in a responsible and respectful manner.
