Sunday saw Italy play Croatia in Milan, and once again I will say that little line: A gentleman’s game played by hooligans.
And, yes, whilst there is an incredible amount of support and loyalty to one’s team, is this not taking it just a tad too far? For a while it was not known what caused this outbreak of utter chaos, but then it was figured out that Croatian supporters had done this on purpose.
It was a statement; a planned, desperate cry for attention. The logic behind it was to send a message to the Croatian Football Federation (CFF) that it cannot just do whatever it wants and expect to get away with it.
It is being called an act of terror because of the danger it put spectators in, and the ref had to, at one stage, call the players off the field. Supporters threw flares onto the pitch and fought against police.
