At least 25 French soccer fans were injured, four of them seriously, after a barrier collapsed during a match Saturday. "We are thinking strongly and primarily of our supporters," Lille CEO Marc Ingla wrote in a series of tweets. Fode Ballo-Toure had just struck the opening score of the French league match in the 15th minute when he ran over to the Lille fans behind the goal to celebrate. Amiens' Stade de la Licorne is being refurbished but De Mester insisted the painting and roofing work had nothing to do with the collapse. We hope that the French league identifies those responsible."
