CROATIA could be kicked out of Euro 2008 if fans abuse England’s black players tomorrow.
Soccer chiefs fear trouble after 200 of their supporters formed a human swastika at a friendly in Italy.

UEFA’s William Gaillard warned: “We won’t tolerate racism. We have had many problems with this in Eastern Europe before and Croatia have been among the worst offenders.

“But we are determined this will not happen again and will send out a strong message to stop any incidents during the game against England.

(snip)

Croatian supporters have a long history of racism. The nation’s federation were fined after French players were racially abused and white supremacist banners were displayed at Euro 2004.

1. charming!

:puke:

4. I like to see a fight between these Nazis and English football fans

I'll put my money on the English hooligans.

2. Catholic Croatia supported Hitler

while Orthodox Serbia opposed the Nazis. Nothing has changed!

On a more recent historical footnote, it was Croatia's Franjo Tudjman who first started ethnic cleansing in the Balkans, not Serbian Milosevic.

5. so

that makes it okay. What was the excuse of the "cleansing" of the Bosnian Muslims.

[IndianaGreen]

7. CIA relied on Al-Qaeda to train Kosovo Liberation Army

Al-Qaeda brought fighters from Chechnya and the Middle East to fight the Serbians.

There was ethnic cleansing from all sides in the Balkan conflict.

10. Right, thats why Germany was first to send aid when Croatia broke away...

...from Yugoslavia. Most Croatians are ashamed of their Nazi past though, my wife is Croat...they talk with vampire accents (as I tease my wife about my inlaws) but they are generally good people. Never seen people so bigoted against Gypsies though. They blame everything on the gypsies. Once we visited some inlaws after a camping trip and, after telling them about our trip, my wifes aunt asked,"Why you want to live like
Gypsies?" which struck me as a bizzare way to look at camping.

3. Speechless over such hateful, shameless idiocy. n/t

[PSPS]

6. "a human swastika at a friendly"

"... their supporters formed a human swastika at a friendly in Italy."

Hmmm. Doesn't seem to go together somehow.

[Spider Jerusalem]

13. "Friendly" in this context means "exhibition match".

[Hardrada]

8. Do they have a dance routine too?

[sofa king]

9. I really dislike Nazis.

The Nazis in Germany behaved very much like a highly radioactive material does in nature. They both radiate their evil on anything nearby, and they both kill off half of themselves within a matter of years.

A human has a life. A f&^king Nazi has a half-life.

11. sick

:puke: :mad: :argh: :grr: :thumbsdown: :banghead:

[Stockholm]

12. Racist bastards

Identify them and ban them for life from Croatian national games.

[and-justice-for-all]

14. I can sum this up with one word...DUMB! nt

[tanyev]

15. Not sure I would have recognized that as a swastika without

the article. Geometry's obviously not their strong suit.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

16. Not many things cause me an urge to beat someone. This is one of them. -nt

[AnneD]

17. Springtime....

for Hitler and Germany, goose steps the new step this year.....

[NashVegas]

18. With England's Indian Population

I'd love to see them throw the swastica back in the Croatians' faces, using their own ancient version.

[T_i_B]

19. Latest breaking news?

And UEFA were fuming following the human swastika incident in Livorno, Italy, two months ago.

Still utterly disgusting though, even though the currant bun is only running this story due to the England match tonight. :grr:

[Kittycat]

20. Pretty impressive...

that they could get that many complete losers together in one place. It's like a freeper convention, except there's more than three attendees!

[The Stranger]

21. This is where compassionate conservatism, value voters and homeland

security inexorably lead. Racism, hate, intolerance, xenophobia, fear, torture, violence (even against Amish), and hate symbols. It appears to be raising its ugly head all over the world now.
