Russia suspended from Euro 2016
(But only if fans cause any more trouble inside stadiums)
The outcome of the Shakespearean modern-day classic, where legacy was reborn, continues to resonate in the mind of Morning Star boxing writer JOHN WIGHT
Russia’s fine and suspended disqualification from Euro 2016 was branded a “joke” yesterday by English journalists.
Uefa fined the Russian Football Union (RFU) €150,000 (£118,000) and warned that any more scenes like the ones in Marseille on Saturday will see the nation chucked out of the Euros.
