"Drunk football fans start fight" is a common headline across the pond but drunk football fans are stepping up their game in France for Euro 2016.
Security was increased ahead of the major soccer tournament that falls two years in between each World Cup. The extra security measures were for terrorists, not drunks, but the drunks certainly need it.
Before Russia and England squared off in Marseilles, things turned violent. Not "UK is going to the Final Four, let's go to State Street" violent, this is bloody violence.
