Excellent photojournalist shots. I also thought this would do better. Catching a bit more of the Eiffel Tower in the the top shot as a frame of reference might have helped your score a bit. Looks like you were right in amongst it -- be careful out there.

Yeah people were pretty extreme, though in the end I think most of those rioting were already decided on starting a riot (or setting off their fireworks at least) and losing the match was more of a trigger.

ETA: then again.. if France had won there probably would have been more celebratory fireworks and flares than bottles.

Wow - very striking. Hope you weren't too adversely affected while shooting.
