The game, the excitement, the brotherhood, the win - and the Russians beating up stewards inside the Municipal Stadium in Wroclaw after the Russia-Czech Republic game on Friday.
It was an outrageous show of violence by Russian hooligans after their team won 4-1. The video below shows the Russians attacking the stewards in a walkway after the game. All injured men were released from the short hospital stay. Polish police has already submitted pictures of the offenders to the border patrol.

Racist slur and monkey noises directed toward the black Czech player, Theo Gebre Selassie, were also a concern reported by Never Again, a Polish-based anti-racism group, part of Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE).
Looks like the Russian Football Federation is in hot water, as reported by UEFA:
UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against the Football Union of Russia for the improper conduct of its supporters at Friday's UEFA EURO 2012 match against the Czech Republic. After having looked at the security reports and available images, UEFA has today announced that disciplinary proceedings have been opened against the Football Union of Russia (RFS) for the improper conduct of its supporters (crowd disturbances), the setting off and throwing of fireworks and the display of illicit banners at Friday's UEFA EURO 2012 Group A match in Wroclaw between Russia and the Czech Republic. The Control and Disciplinary Body will review the case on Wednesday 13 June. 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 to collect more evidence.
