A French court today jailed three Russian football supporters for up to two years for their role in violence in Marseille before the England-Russia Euro 2016 match. 
 
Alexei Yerunov, Nikolai Morozov and Sergei Gorbachev were among 43 Russian supporters detained by French police in southern France on Tuesday after the pitched battles which left more than 30 people injured. 
 
Yerunov, 29, who is supporters&#39; liaison officer at Lokomotiv Moscow according to the club&#39;s website, received the longest prison sentence of 24 months. 
 
He admitted he was at the scene of an attack on an English supporter who was left in a critical state after being beaten around the head with an iron bar. He denied being responsible. 
 
&quot;I apologise. I recognise that I was there but I didn&#39;t hit anyone. My hands are clean,&quot; he told the court. 
 
Gorbachev, who leads a supporters&#39; club at Russian second division club Arsenal Tula, was jailed for 18 months. 
 
Morozov, 28, received the shortest sentence of 12 months. 
 
Prosecutor Andre Ribe described the Russians&#39; behaviour in the chaotic scenes in Marseille on Saturday: &quot;It was a hunt. They ran off together, staying in a group and keeping enough energy for what they call &#39;the fight&#39;.&quot;

Poland international midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak has signed for French champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) from Sevilla on a five-year deal, both clubs confirmed on Sunday. 
 
The 26-year-old, who started his career at Ligue 1 side Bordeaux, links up again with former Sevilla coach Unai Emery, now at the helm of PSG. 
 
He becomes PSG&#39;s second recruit of the summer after French international midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa from Nice. 
 
Emery&#39;s focus in Paris is to win the Champions League and Krychowiak, who has spent the past two years in Spain, was a key part of Sevilla winning a third consecutive Europa League title, beating Liverpool in the final in May. 
 
The Spanish press have reported the deal for Krychowiak -- part of Poland&#39;s Euro 2016 squad eliminated in the quarter-finals by Portugal -- to be worth around 26 million Euro ($28.9m). 
 
&quot;It&#39;s a feeling of great pride that drives me to return to France to wear the jersey of a club as ambitious as Paris SG,&quot; said Krychowiak in comments reported by his new club. 
 
&quot;To continue working with Unai Emery obviously played a part in my choice. I&#39;m coming to Paris to experience strong emotions and to win as many trophies as possible.&quot; 
 
PSG president Nasser Al-Khela?fi said he was &quot;very satisfied&quot; with the signing. 
 
&quot;These past two seasons, he was very efficient with Sevilla, in particular on the European scene, and he was one of the most prominent players in the Euro (2016).&quot; 
 
&quot;Grzegorz embodies the values of discipline and combativeness that are dear to our club, our fans and our new coach with whom he wanted to continue working,&quot; the Qatari added. 
 
Emery took over last month from Laurent Blanc who won the domestic treble in each of his last two seasons with the club but it was his failure to make substantial progress in the Champions League that proved his undoing.

A Matter of Life and Death

The Copa America started all the way back in 1916. A full century later, the tournament this year is being played in the United States of America, we look not only at the football played in sun and shadow (the line is taken from the Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano's popular book) but also at the most colourful part of the game -- the fans.
