France is in a state of emergency! How are they are getting flares into a stadium again?!

Shocking scenes.

About 20 flares got thrown on the pitch, as they were clearing them off, something exploded under one of the stewards which sent him flying. Huge fighting then broke out in the Croatian end - seemingly among themselves. They're bossing the game, looking one of the best sides too.

Croatia a few minutes from a well deserved victory and thier fans start acting the ****. Fine incoming for that, surely ?

No bones about it, that was a really really serious incident. The steward / fireman that one of the flares exploded under could have been seriously hurt. I counted nearly 20 flares burning on the pitch. Not to mention the fighting in the stands.

Serious security weaknesses that there really is no excuse for.

If people want to smuggle stuff in it's pretty easy. Why are people so shocked? It's hard to control this sort of thing.

Give flares to women to stuff down their knickers or bra.

A bit OT, but can anyone remember the team in Italy where there's a video of them doing a song and then half way through they light about 50 flares on the terrace?

This made me think of it and I can't find the video now :angry:

If Croatia get thrown out I want my stake money refunded from Corals. Not holding my breath though.

Behave that won't ever happen. Slap wrist for Croatia
