Watch: Rooney, Hodgson call on England fans to behave

Chantilly, France - England captain Wayne Rooney and manager Roy Hodgson on Monday pleaded with the country's fans to avoid further violence to head off a UEFA threat to disqualify the team from Euro 2016.

After violence erupted in Marseille over the weekend, overshadowing England's 1-1 draw with Russia, European governing body UEFA threatened to kick both teams out of the tournament if the disorder continued.
