Not so very promising start from the EURO

Not even entered into its first week of play, the much anticipated European football championship did not start well at all. It turned out to be that we have more convicted fans in prison than we are having high number of goals in a day. And because we have to see little action on the pitch fierce battles dominates on the streets with lots of unnecessary violence.
Up until Thursday, French police said that they have arrested 323 people accused of riots, stealing or damaging properties, and out of that number 196 are in detention. On the stadiums we have limited number of goals in one day - up to 7, but 8 fans are convicted on jail sentence while others 3 are on suspended sentence. Twenty-four supporters were accompanied towards the borders which most of them were arrested on Tuesday in the southeast part of France. Those numbers (except for the goals scored) were issued today by the French interior ministry. And the security, which is dreadful so far, is a story by itself (maybe French authorities are more oriented on the strikes rather than securing EURO 2016).
