U.E.F.A FINE RUSSIA 120,000 EUROS.

U.e.F.A have come down heavily on the Russian football Association , for failing to control their fans , in the 2012 EURO CUP match played verses the Czech Republic. A Steward was also attacked. The fine by U.E.F.A was 120,000 Euros or 150,000 U.S.Dollars. But this is not all the trouble Russia have. U.E.F.A are also investigating racial abuse on the Czech Republic player. And to make matters worse , before the match between Russia and Poland, there were street violence and Hooligans fighting, with many injuries some even critical, leading to a few arrest as well. This is not good news for Russia in any way, as F.I.F.A are watching things closely as the 2018 world cup is to be played in Russia, these things will not be tolerated then. Actually U.E.f.A have also deducted six points from Russia , for the next Euro Cup, as Russia have three days to appeal this fine. And any more trouble they will loose six points in the next Euro Cup qualifier. I feel the biggest mistake was to hold the 2012 Euro cup in these former soviet block countries, as anger is well high against Russia.
