UEFA blamed for crowd trouble
The prefect for Saint-Etienne has blamed UEFA for the crowd trouble at the match between Croatia and the Czech Republic at Stade Geoffroy Guichard. Evence Richard, the top official in the Saint-Etienne area, told local media that UEFA should have added "between 150 and 200" security agents at the stadium "to properly fulfill its mission." Play was stopped for several minutes late in Croatia's 2-2 draw with the Czech Republic on Friday when firecrackers and lit flares were thrown on the field from one end of the stadium where Croatian fans were sitting. Croatia fans then fought among themselves as players appealed for calm and French police had to intervene inside the venue.
UEFA charges Hungary
After more fan disorder in Marseille at the European Championship, UEFA hit the Hungarian football federation with a range of disciplinary charges on Sunday. UEFA holds federations responsible for the behavior of their fans inside stadiums. In the Hungary case, UEFA said its disciplinary panel will meet Tuesday to judge charges of "crowd disturbances," throwing objects and setting off fireworks. Fans clashed with stewards and some police before the game when trying to climb a fence to enter a section behind one goal. Riot police then formed in lines in front a section of Hungary fans, in the same end of Stade Velodrome where Russians attacked England fans one week earlier.
