Ugh, this is all so disgusting.

I read an article yesterday that UEFA would be fining Russia -- but not for the racist fans. :/ They seem to be ignoring that and focusing on the attacks on stewards.

i think the uefa disciplinary board meets wednesday. here's what i've heard so far:

"Disciplinary proceedings have been opened against the Football Union of Russia (RFS) for the improper conduct of its supporters, the setting-off and throwing of fireworks and the display of illicit banners," UEFA revealed in a statement.

"In addition, regarding reports of alleged abuse directed at Czech Republic players from Russia fans, UEFA is investigating this further and is working with FARE (Football Against Racism in Europe) to collect more evidence."
