Hundreds of thousands of tweets flooded Twitter Saturday, criticizing fans of the Russian and English soccer teams who got embroiled in violent fights and riots before and after the European Championship game.
Russia earned a 1-1 draw against England with a stoppage-time equalizer.
Fans rioted before the game at Marseille’s Old Port district and again briefly outside the nearby Stade Velodrome on the third straight day of violence in the city. Police fired tear gas and water cannons at brawling fans.
