(MARSEILLE, France) — After a week of violence at the European Championship, France sentenced three Russian fans to prison and planned to deport 20 others next week for their role in the violence in Marseille that marred Russia's opening match against England.

Sporadic violence has since moved to northern France, where Russia played Slovakia on Wednesday and England played Wales on Thursday. But nothing as bad as the violence witnessed last week in the south.
