Minor scuffles in Lille as Russia, England fans arrive for Euro games (Reuters)
By Benoit Tessier LILLE, France (Reuters) - A small group of Russian and English fans briefly scuffled in the northern city of Lille where thousands of supporters arrived in the area for the Euro 2016 soccer tournament. Lille is seen as the next potential Euro 2016 trouble spot as Russia play Slovakia there on Wednesday, and England fans also congregate in the northern French city ahead of their match against Wales in nearby Lens on Thursday. UEFA fined the Russian Football Federation and gave it a "suspended disqualification" for attacks inside the stadium on Saturday.
