Russia will be thrown out of Euro 2016 if their fans cause further trouble, says European governing body Uefa.

The Russians have also been fined 150,000 euro (£119,000) following violent scenes at the game against England in Marseille on Saturday.

The suspended disqualification and fine relate only to incidents that happened inside the stadium.

Meanwhile, groups of Russian fans are also being deported from France as a result of trouble at the tournament.

A French police operation to arrest 40 suspected Russian hooligans is under way.

Russia coach Leonid Slutsky, whose team still have to play Wales and Slovakia, is confident his squad will not be excluded.

"We are sure our supporters will not do the same and will not give any reasons to disqualify our team," he said.

Russia forwards Artem Dzyuba added: "We're not at a streetfighting championship. Please, let's focus on football."

England were also threatened with disqualification from Euro 2016 but were not formally charged by Uefa.

2018 World Cup ought to be fun.

And if you manage to make it back from that without taking an axing, you can look forward to melting in Qatar 4 years later.

Fuck FIFA.

Funny how reports months ago from Russian hooligans saying they were going to prove they are the worst in Europe if not the world at football violence, seem to me were not taken very seriously. Go to Youtube can probably find lots of videos of the Russians attacking the English and also nothing much has been reported about the fighting between the Germans and Ukraine fans! Not condoning the minority of idiots we have that have gone over there hellbent on trouble. But UEFA have fucked up with their intelligence but if they are serious should look at 2018 World Cup and stripping Russia of it as it will be a battlefield from day 1 till the final and wouldn't be surprised if some military and police involvement is likely especially if Putin is still the President.

I'm sure I read somewhere that a member of parliament in Russia congratulated them on defending the honour of the Russian people by attacking the English fans, something along those lines. I'm glad they're getting fined anyway and yes, 2018 gonna be interesting if they're like this outside of their country.

It is scum like that spoil the game for others. Funny if the Russians get kicked out of the Euros. Putin would probably give them all honorary medals. Not like they're averse from controversy. Like the Russian doping scandal.
