Authorities in Moscow are to stop televising World Cup games on giant outdoor screens after thousands of football fans went on the rampage in the city, killing one man and injuring many others.
The violence happened in the centre of Moscow after Russia went down 1-0 to Japan, severely denting the country's chances of progressing to the second round of the tournament.

And they complain about British fans!!
