    BRUSSELS - Belgian police arrested 12 people who may have been planning attacks on people watching Belgium’s football game in public places on Saturday, a spokesman for the country’s federal prosecutor said.

    The spokesman, Eric Van der Sypt, said police had “a hypothesis” that attacks were being planned targeting people in Belgium watching Saturday’s Euro 2016 game between the national team and Ireland, which is being played in the French city of Bordeaux.

    Many bars and restaurants have put up televisions and screens to allow customers to watch the tournament. Many towns have also set up bigger public-viewing arenas.

    By the 85th minute all seemed idyllic - winding, joy, song ... Then they entered the stadium Special Operations. They stopped in front of the North Stand in three dense rows. No one knew what was going on. Soon he started the chaos. One after another began to light torches and fly toward the ground. Panic, shock and disbelief. A dozen hooligans no one could stop, the torches were flying all over the place, other fans yelled at them to stop. In one corner stands began to fight.

    How to claim our police officers, the French on Friday morning had the names of 35 hooligans who a few hours later napravti riots of the match between Croatian and Czech Republic in Saint-Etienne - 13 come from Split, five in Zagreb, five from Istria, the rest are from Osijek , Slavonski Borda, Vinkovci and Vukovar .

    Croatian police saying that they are French colleagues provided the names of hooligans that they had reliable information that ensure pyrotechnics and to cause unrest. They offered their assistance, but the response of the French did not get ...

    To make matters more absurd, pyrotechnics are hooligans, as we learned, ensure the French fans . They are, it seems, the torch entered the stadium. Our hooligans had all served and ready for a diversion.

    After Croatia was once more the focus of racist behavior and fan disorder at a European Championship match, UEFA formally opened a disciplinary case against the country's national soccer federation on Saturday.

    The federation apologized for the incidents during Croatia's 2-2 draw with the Czech Republic on Friday, while also blaming its national government for not identifying and punishing hooligans in recent years.

    "The Saint-Etienne incident is the product of the passivity of the Croatian state, and today we have all become hostages of a group of hooligans," the Croatian federation said in a statement.

    Play was stopped for several minutes late in the match when firecrackers and lit flares were thrown on the field from one end of the stadium where its fans were sitting.

    Croatia fans then fought among themselves as players appealed for calm.

    UEFA's anti-discrimination monitors said Saturday they also reported hearing fans singing far-right songs and displaying offensive banners at the stadium.

    UEFA said the charges against Croatia related to racist behavior, crowd disturbances, throwing objects on the field and setting off fireworks.

    The Croatian federation faces at least a five-figure fine when UEFA's disciplinary panel judges the case on Monday.

    It is the second round of charges involving Croatia fans in France. UEFA charged the federation over flares being lit and a fan running on the field to celebrate a goal with Croatia players in a 1-0 win over Turkey last Sunday. That case will be judged on July 21.

    Croatia has a track record of disruptive fans, including at each game it played at Euro 2012.

    The federation claimed it "warned UEFA and French police about the hooligans' intentions to interrupt the match."

    The national team has a faction of fans with far-right views, and also groups who are protesting against the widely unpopular soccer body, which is based in Zagreb and led by former Croatia great Davor Suker.

    "This deserves zero tolerance," Suker said in an earlier statement on the federation's website. "Croatian Football Federation is doing its job, and I call upon government institutions to do theirs. We'll ask French police for help."

    Many believe the repeated disorder is an attempt to provoke UEFA and FIFA to act in order to shame Suker and other officials linked to Dinamo Zagreb.

    Four years ago, all three Croatia games in Poland were also delayed because of flares and fireworks being thrown on the field.

    Then, UEFA fined the federation a total of 135,000 euros ($170,000) for a series of incidents including racial insults aimed at Italy forward Mario Balotelli, a fan running on the field, and fans' offensive chants and banners.

    UEFA already deducted a point from Croatia in Euro 2016 qualifying when fans created a swastika image on the field before a home qualifying match in Split.

    The Italy game, and a subsequent qualifier against Bulgaria, were played in empty stadiums as punishment from UEFA for fans using far-right chants and banners.

    An earlier qualifier against Italy, in Milan, was also stopped in each half because of flares thrown on the field from a section of Croatia fans.

    In separate cases, FIFA has already barred fans from attending the first two of Croatia's five 2018 World Cup home qualifying matches in Zagreb in September and November.

    On Saturday, the Croatian federation apologized to "the spectators at Saint-Etienne, to the television audience, and the Czech Republic national football team."

    No,lie again.The photo you posted about plan of throwing flares is just pathethic.You really think that someone would put something like that on Facebook??? :smiley-laughing002:

    Media are accusing Torcida and Hajduk a priori just because they are the only one that have guts to officially say the things the way there are.

    This incident is what happens when whole nation constantly closes eyes in front of thievery and crime.It had to blow sometime.If you ask me,considering effect it has produced in state and worldwide media,in the best possible time. :50:
