I cannot believe that people are still getting flares in to grounds. It's utterly ludicrous.

Good on the players trying to encourage them to calm down, even though it fell on deaf ears.
If that's how they behave when they're winning!

Surely they're banned? But then I presume everyone and everything is being checked when entering the ground - it doesn't say much for security if they're being missed.

Because they're idiots?
The security checks for the grounds at these finals has been beyond questionable. I mean, that could have been something far worse than a flare or firecracker.

The suspended sentence only hangs over Russia though admittedly Croatia have history for this - they had to play behind closed doors and had a points deduction during qualifying.
Out of nothing, the Czechs have got a point out of this!
And it's 2-2!
Croatia have thrown away a match they dominated for 75 minutes.
What a sorry day for them with the crowd disturbances as well.

BBC commentator saying Croatia fans caused problems in Genoa when they played Italy. It was actually Serbia, not Croatia.
Croatia fans did throw loads of flares on the pitch in Milan though during the qualifying for this competition.
