France coach Didier Deschamps says “it’s a shame” his team and Switzerland can’t train in the Stade Pierre Mauroy before their match because of the condition of the field.

The venue in Lille is one of several European Championship stadiums that also stage non-soccer events, and UEFA acknowledged on Friday that the state of some of them has not been good enough.

In order to prevent the field from further damage, the teams had to travel to the nearby Stadium Nord Lille Metropole for their final practice session on the eve of the match.

Deschamps says “if we can’t train on it there must be a problem but we will deal with it in the best way possible.”

France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris says he doesn’t expect the field to affect Sunday’s game after France beat Albania 2-0 in similar conditions in Marseille on Wednesday.

Lloris says “it won’t be that much of a difference compared to the Velodrome pitch, which wasn’t in good condition, either.”

Gylfi Sigurdsson scored from the penalty spot to give Iceland a 1-0 halftime lead over Hungary in Group F of the European Championship.

Sigurdsson shot low and hard in the 40th minute after a chaotic scramble in the box. Hungary goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly dropped the ball and then defender Tamas Kadar was whistled for fouling Aron Gunnarsson.

Hungary had earlier dominated possession but Iceland had the better chances, with Kiraly getting down to save a shot from Johann Gudmundsson.

A firework was thrown onto the field by Hungarian fans as Sigurdsson prepared to take his penalty. That followed earlier disorder by Hungarian supporters, including lighting a flare during the national anthems and clashes with stewards before the game.

Even without a goal so far, Albania coach Giovanni De Biasi has no plans to alter his tactics for Sunday’s must-win match against Romania.

The Italian coach wants another determined defensive effort from his players as they search for their first win at the European Championship.

Di Biasi says “tomorrow is a live-or-die situation. We must be extremely focused on the defensive side.”

Albania has proven to be tough to beat in its two losses. It held up with 10 men for more than a half in a 1-0 loss to Switzerland, and then pushed host France to the 90th minute before falling 2-0.

The Albanians are in last place in Group A before their final group match in Lyon. Romania has one point.

Czech Republic captain Tomas Rosicky has been ruled out of the European Championship because of a thigh injury.

He is expected to be out for three to six weeks.

Rosicky picked up the injury in the 2-2 draw with Croatia on Friday. He had to stay on at the end of the game against Croatia because the Czechs had already made three substitutions.

The Czechs play Turkey in their final Group D match on Tuesday.

There was pushing and shoving between fans and stewards before the stewards briefly backed off.

Many of the fans managed to cross over before riot police moved in and blocked off the area, allowing stewards to return. There did not appear to be any clashes between fans and police.

Lukaku’s second goal came in the 70th after another swift Belgian move. Eden Hazard set up an unmarked Lukaku in the penalty area, who slotted home from close range.

The Croatian soccer federation has apologized for the behaviour of fans who disrupted the team’s draw with the Czech Republic, and blamed the government at home for not stopping hooligans.

The federation says it also “warned UEFA and French police about the hooligans’ intentions to interrupt” Friday’s game.

Play was stopped for several minutes late in a 2-2 draw in Saint-Etienne when firecrackers and lit flares were thrown on the field. Some Croatia fans then fought among themselves.

UEFA’s disciplinary panel will meet on Monday to judge charges relating to the fan disorder and also far-right chants and banners.

The federation says the incidents resulted from “the passivity of the Croatian state,” which it blamed for not identifying and punishing fans involved in previous incidents over several years.

Croatia’s soccer body says it apologizes “to the spectators at Saint-Etienne, to the television audience, and the Czech Republic national football team.”

England striker Jamie Vardy says speculation regarding a potential move from Leicester to Arsenal hasn’t distracted him at the European Championship.

Before Euro 2016, Vardy was reportedly the subject of a 20 million pound ($28.7 million) bid from Arsenal that triggered the release clause in his Leicester contract.

Asked if he had any news about his club future, Vardy said: “No, nothing at all. I’m completely focused on England. That’s all I want to do at the moment.”

Vardy says he has not been told by coach Roy Hodgson to put club matters to one side during the tournament.

Belgium dominated the first half of its match against Ireland, but the two sides were tied 0-0 at halftime in Bordeaux.

The Red Devils were wasteful in front of goal in the Group E match.

Eden Hazard missed a clear opportunity to score for Belgium in the 21st minute after Kevin De Bruyne swept in a cross from the right. The ball was destined for striker Romelu Lukaku, but it deflected off an Ireland defender and landed at the feet of the unmarked Hazard, who blasted it over the bar.

Yannick Carrasco did put the ball in the back of the net for Belgium in the 24th, but it was ruled offside.

Toby Alderweireld also went close in the 42nd minute but his header was nodded off the line by Ireland midfielder Wes Hoolahan.

Croatian President Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic has called for a government session to discuss fan disturbances at the European Championship.

The session could be held early next week.

On Saturday, UEFA formally opened a disciplinary case against the Croatian soccer federation for racism and fan disorder. Play was stopped for several minutes late in Croatia’s 2-2 draw with the Czech Republic in Saint-Etienne on Friday when firecrackers and lit flares were thrown on the field from one end of the stadium where its fans were sitting.

Croatia fans then fought among themselves as players appealed for calm.

Three others were convicted of offences related to the violence and sentenced to prison terms of between one and two years.

Belgium midfielder Kevin De Bruyne will play against Ireland at the European Championship despite a hamstring problem.

Belgium coach Marc Wilmots has made three changes, including dropping Radja Nainggolan and Marouane Fellaini to the bench.

The 20 were part of a larger group of Russians who were detained by French authorities on Tuesday following violent disorder around England’s 1-1 draw with Russia last Saturday.

Three were convicted of offences related to the violence and sentenced to prison terms of between one and two years.

UEFA’s disciplinary panel will hear the case on Monday and will also judge charges of fans lighting and throwing flares and fireworks.

UEFA has formally opened a disciplinary case against the Croatian soccer federation for fan disorder at a European Championship game.

Play was stopped for several minutes late in Croatia’s 2-2 draw with the Czech Republic in Saint-Etienne on Friday when firecrackers and lit flares were thrown on the field from one end of the stadium where its fans were.

Croatia fans then fought among themselves as players appealed for calm.

UEFA’s anti-discrimination monitors say they have told European Championship organizers about fascist songs and banners waved by Croatia fans during Friday’s game against the Czech Republic.

The Fare Network’s report to UEFA was produced after a game that was halted for several minutes in Saint-Etienne when firecrackers and flares were thrown on the field from an end of the stadium where Croatia fans were sitting.

UEFA is set to announce details of the charges against the Croatian federation on Saturday.

The UEFA-affiliated Fare Network has two observers at every Euro 2016 match in France.

UEFA fined Croatia at Euro 2012 for a series of incidents including racial insults aimed at Italy forward Mario Balotelli, a fan running on the field, and fans’ offensive chants and banners.

Czech Republic team doctor Petr Krejci says captain Tomas Rosicky will have a scan on Saturday aimed at determining the nature of a thigh injury he picked up in the 2-2 draw with Croatia at the European Championship on Friday.

Krejci says if the check on Saturday reveals that Rosicky has a tear in his muscle “then, the tournament is over for him. If not, we will do all we can to get him ready for the game against Turkey.”

The Czechs have one point in Group D and will likely need to beat Turkey in their final Group D match on Tuesday to have a chance of advancing to the knock out round of the competition.

Rosicky said he doubted he would be available.
