UEFA have been busy handing out fines and punishments after a number of incidents of fan violence, flares and pitch invasions. The most baffling (and amusing if it wasn't so sad, the fighting that is) was the Croatian FA's sanction. On top of a significant fine they have been banned from selling tickets to known hooligans. Because before this it was ok for them to do it. And isn't the insinuation that UEFA knew that the Croatian FA didn't monitor who was "supporting" the team? Interesting sanction. Why not just do a simple banning of all supporters?
In the other continental championship Argentina are playing the USA right now in the Copa semifinal. Who would have given the Americans any chance of playing, let alone beating, Argentina in the semifinals of a major tournament? Well, nothing's changed much. Yes, the USA are in the semis but Argentina are reminding them of their place in the football word order. 90th minute as I write, 4-0 Argentina.
