Croatia Fans form Swastika during Italy Match
A few dozen idiots supporting Croatia tried to form a human swastika in the stands during Wednesday’s friendly against Italy in Livorno. As you can see in the video, police eventually stepped in and broke up the pathetic display. I don’t think you need me to tell you that this kind of thing has no place in football and I strongly agree with the folks about Football Against Racism in Europe that FIFA needs to find an appropriate punishment for their actions. Yes, it was a small group of idiots and the vast majority of the fans at the match were cool, but this type of thing can’t be condoned.

By toonfan | August 22nd, 2006 at 7:17 am Boris, crack open a history book and educate yourself to the genecide committed by the Croats against the Serbs during WWII. The Croatian Ustazi did things to Serbs that appalled even the Nazis. Croatia is far from being an innocent victim.

By Stipe | August 22nd, 2006 at 5:11 pm Toonfan, obviously you dont realize that Ustasha not Ustazi were not the only group in the balkans killing innocent victims. You dont realize that the Chetniks were just as brutal. They just werent as organized but they still killed muslims and Croats. Some Jews also joined the Chetniks further fueling the the hatred between Jews and Muslims. So if you do some quick math and add the people that slobodan Milosovic killed plus the ammount Chetniks killed Serbs are definetly not the good guys.

By toonfan | August 23rd, 2006 at 7:49 pm stipe, in English political literature it is translated as Ustasha, Ustazi, Ustasi, etc. depending on which author you read and which translation is used. I’ve read many authors who refer to them using different spellings. I did not insuate in any way that any of them were the good guys. Boris made the point that the Serbs were punished more harshly by FIFA because of their past atrocities in direct comparison with the Croats. I merely pointed out that the Croats have a history of atrocities as well. I am well aware that the region has seen Croats, Serbs, Muslims, Jews, Chetchniks, and others all killing each other with equal ferocity at one point or another in recent history. The Croat fans forming a human Swastika were not good guys either.

By croatian guy | June 27th, 2007 at 6:22 pm Our fans were provoked but that doesn’t jutify them. Those are few drunk idiots and they don’t represent Croatia. We are niether nazi or communist or anything like that, there are no more ustashas and the war is long over.

By MikeeUSA | January 21st, 2008 at 7:34 pm Ever heard of freedom of speech?
No, you europeans hate such things.
While I don’t agree with their opinion, and would have rathered they form some type of anti-women’s rights sign… freedom of speech.
