Uefa opens disciplinary case against Croatia for fans’ disorder at Euro 2016

Croatia have been charged over the crowd disturbances that marred the latter stages of their Euro 2016 match against the Czech Republic on Friday.

Flares were thrown on the pitch and fighting broke out in the Croatian end during their 2-2 Group D draw.

The referee Mark Clattenburg was forced to stop the game with four minutes left while a steward was almost hit by a firecracker, as was Croatian goalscorer Ivan Perisic.

Croatia’s coach, Ante Cacic, described the individuals responsible for the trouble as “sports terrorists” and European football’s governing body has now confirmed the opening of disciplinary proceedings against the national federation.

Austria wins, 0-0; whatever, at least these teams, have a chance to win and they will probably advance. I don’t see how long one can think, well, Portugal is going to win, now, they are going to play Hungary with 4.

Hungary 4 pts.
Iceland and Portugal 2 pts. each
Austria 1 pt.

So, maybe it is looking like this 3rd place team won’t advance?

Eastern Europe, G-d Bless Them, needs to know how to handle (relative) freedom in sport. Flares and fireworks on the pitch justifiably crapped their bed.

They do say that Ronaldo was motioning to the tunnel and saying something like we can do it in there or something.

[dfwgator]

Messi shows how it’s done with a fantastic pass leading to an Argie goal.

[dfwgator]

And Messi says, “Hey Ronaldo....Take That!” as Argies go up 3-0.

[dfwgator]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL CHILE!!!!!!

Suck it, Meh-Hee-Co!

[dfwgator]

3-0 Chile!!!!

And the classy Mexico fans start throwing garbage at the Chilean players.

[dfwgator]

MAKE IT FOUR!!!!!

[dfwgator]

FIVE!!!!

[dfwgator]

Seriously this is resembling Brazil’s meltdown against Germany now.

[dfwgator]

SIX!

[dfwgator]

SEVEN!

[dfwgator]

Seriously, if I were a Chile fan at that stadium, I’d get the Hell out of there as fast as I can.

[dfwgator]

It’s over, Chile wins by a touchdown.

[BeadCounter]

Thanks for the updates. Unable to see the game.

[dfwgator]

It was probably the most enjoyable game I’ve watched in a long time.

My wife probably thought I was losing it, from my maniacal laughter after each goal.

[safeasthebanks]

At least Brazil never quit. Can’t say that for Mexico.

[BeadCounter]

For today’s games, I’m thinking, Switzerland wants that match more than France. Looks drawish to me, it doesn’t appear Albania has ever defeated Romania, I see Romania winning and taking 3rd place most likely by the end of the day. Albania is on an upward course of improvement, just as Iceland and Hungary have been.
