How fans feel about Euro 2016 violence as England, Russia threatened with disqualification

Euro 2016 has only just begun and already a major problem is developing for Uefa.

European football's governing body has threatened to disqualify England and Russia if there is any further violence by fans.

It has begun disciplinary proceedings against Russia after their supporters appeared to charge at England fans following the 1-1 draw in Marseille.

There has also been trouble reported in both Nice and Lille.

Six Northern Ireland fans were injured in a brawl outside a bar on Saturday, while, two people were injured when German and Ukraine supporters clashed in Lille on Sunday.

Uefa has promised to strengthen security and admitted there were issues with segregation of fans at England's match.

But some supporters have told Newsbeat it's not just visiting fans causing trouble.

They've also blamed local French groups renowned for using violence - known as "Ultras".

The weekend's clashes are making life difficult for the thousands of fans, of all nationalities, who have travelled to France to enjoy the football.

Some of them have been talking to Newsbeat at the fans zone in Nice.

Andre, Czech Republic

"I was expecting that trouble in Marseille to be honest because I know what some Russian and some England fans can be like," he says.

"I think the problem is all Russian fans could travel to France but England's toughest guys couldn't travel because they are banned from football games.

"Some fans have definitely come here just to fight, which is shame."

Alberto and Jack, Italy

"It was horrible and it was nightmare," says Alberto.

"I feel scared being here now, I was scared to come here to Nice because we're close to Marseille."

Jack adds: "The ones behaving badly should be put in jail because it is a crime to fight."

"I feel safe around Nice because there is a lot of police and good checks."

Artur, Poland

"We're going to Marseille in less than two weeks for Poland against Ukraine and to be honest I'm a little bit afraid," he says.

"We are afraid of the organisation at this tournament because look at Saturday, there was no segregation between the Russian and English fans.

"Security is very, very poor."

Matthias, Germany

"The violence this weekend has made me feel very sad," he says.

"Football fans do not want to see these pictures.

"I think the violence will be contained though - look at it here where the Northern Ireland fans are having so much fun with everyone here, us, the Polish.

"It's very funny."

Laura and Pete, Northern Ireland

"I thought any trouble at this tournament was going to be from terror threats not football fans," says Pete.

"I'm a little surprised but I believe - and hope - that every bit of trouble was caused by ultras because that's what we had here Saturday night."

Laura adds: "I find it scary."

"We had tickets for the England match in Marseille but didn't go and stayed in Nice.

"We saw it on the news and thought it would be safer to stay here.

"It is disappointing because it's the first time I've ever followed the Euros and I did ask 'is this normal?' and apparently it isn't normal.

"I'm worried about it happening again in Lyon and Paris because they're more built up areas."
