Lens: The small French town holding a big Euro 2016 game
Fans watch a Euro 2016 match on a giant screen in Lens, France, on Saturday, June 11. The small city -- population 34,190 -- is expecting 50,000 fans for the England-Wales match on Thursday, and authorities are bolstering security in light of the influx and recent fan violence in Marseille.
