Fan violence at Euro 2016 continued over the weekend. There were clashes in the stadium when England tied Russia 1-1, and Ukrainian and German fans mixed it up after their match. The Russians, in particular, seemed well organized. "There were 150 Russian supporters who in reality were hooligans. These people were well prepared for ultra-rapid, ultra-violent action. These are extremely well-trained people," Marseilles prosecutor Brice Robin told the BBC.

Lewis Hamilton won the Canadian Grand Prix. He is now only 9 points behind his Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg.

Behold John Brooks making one of his many defensive clearances during the USMNT's 1-0 defeat of Paraguay on Saturday. Brooks put in one of the finest displays by any U.S. player in recent memory. He was simply amazing. [Update: A reader correctly points out this photo is actually from the USMNT game against Costa Rica. He played well in that game too!]
