Tragic celebrations for France's victory at the World Cup. Two dead, dozens injured, and riots and arrests across the country. The toll is extremely heavy: there are also children among the injured. The most serious incidents occurred in Annecy, where a 50-year-old man lost his life after diving into a shallow canal and hitting his head, and then in Saint-Félix, where a car accident killed a man celebrating the French team's victory. Two children, aged 3 and 6, are in serious condition after being hit by a motorcycle in Frouard. In Paris, 30 youths were arrested for looting and clashing with police, who were forced to use tear gas on the Champs-Elysees. In Lyon, the atmosphere heated up late in the evening after 20 people in Place Bellecour watched Deschamps's men defeat Croatia on giant screens. In Marseille, in the port area, "several bullets were fired and several members of the police force were injured: ten were arrested", the police explained.
