By Andrew Downie SAO PAULO (Reuters) - The soccer world was in mourning on Tuesday as clubs, players and fans from around the globe sent tributes and support to Brazilian side Chapecoense following a deadly air crash in Colombia that killed 76 people, including several players.

"Nacional deeply laments and stands in solidarity with @ChapecoenseReal in the accident and we await information from authorities," the home town club tweeted soon after the disaster was reported.
