Rascists.......very unpleasant. Should ban them from all competition for a decent length of time in my opinion.

The first time I went to Croatia Zagreb was shelled and some bastard pulled a gun on me. The second time I went nothing untoward happened but I wouldn't put them in my Top 10 of hospitable nations. |

Went to Split. Most were alright that we encountered but I'd never go back.
Alot of racism which is typical in Eastern Europe. You'd think times would have moved forward in that regard but it seems to just keep going backwards and because Sanctions or punishments are so piss poor, they'll carry on doing it
Personally, all these countries that have crowd issues and racism issues time after time, hit them with a huge fine and sanctions which bring the club to the point where they HAVE to stamp it out.
Nations like Croatia that have issues, a few games behind closed doors won't do fuck all.
I'm sure a Tournament ban would hit home with the powers to stamp Nazi fuckers out of their set up!

One other thing that I've never been sure on (slightly off topic)
Russia has THE MOST issues bar far with racism if what we read and hear is to be believed
Why the fuck do so many Brazilians and Black players play there then?
Or are we drip fed bollocks about Russia (similar to that what the BBC fed us about Ukraine and were literally a million miles off the actual reality) and their racism?

Funny old world..... A friend of mine was taken in by a very friendly extended Italian family while on holiday in Rome. It was only when the evening meal was over and the impassioned toasts to Mussolini started did the penny drop...It's perfectly possible for someone of a fascist persuasion to be nice to you when they believe that you are one of their own...its when they find out you aren't that the trouble starts. Being the "wrong" colour just short circuits the process of working out if your blood (and political leanings and religion) are "pure". That and not all Croatian's are fascists... |

For what it's worth I thought Croatia was one of the most beautiful countries I've visited, truly stunning.
As I'm an unsocial fucker I didn't really integrate with the locals other than bar staff.
Make of that what you will but Croatia is beautiful.

Or are we drip fed bollocks about Russia (similar to that what the BBC fed us about Ukraine and were literally a million miles off the actual reality) and their racism? The old USSR was ethnically very diverse and communism has generally had an inclusive attitude - any bias politically is more about class than ethnicity (as I understand it). Politically Putin identifies with the old soviet union - and recognises the political need for inclusivity to keep the thing together. Publicly at least people aren't usually that forthcoming when it comes to disagreeing with Putin, allegedly.. However...there are some pretty nasty nationalistic (and outright racist) groups at work in (old school european) Russia. I think there are parallels with the UK. We are a pretty small town nation at root - but the British Empire brought us into contact with a bigger world. The good thing is that it brought us into contact with other races, creeds and religions, Which fortunately has made us to some extent more open and inclusive. God bless you Cyril - and I mean that despite being an atheist. But then Brexit is closing the borders, So neo-fascism here we come.... On a holiday note - I went to Russia last year and the people I met were lovely. But they may well have been communist... |

They are tempted by promises of riches that often don't materialise. Some are hounded out like Peter Odemwungie was. Some just tolerate it. But it's real and big. |

Croatia were forced to apologise after the symbol could be seen cut into the pitch during their European Championship Qualifier against Italy in Split in June 2015. The ruling carries over from the Euro 2016 qualifying phase instead of taking in the World Cup 2018 Qualifiers as that competition came under FIFA regulations. Why, Are Swastikas ok under FIFA Regs... |

I lived in Croatia for quite a while (was dj'ing over there) and made many football mates. The Croatian FA are corrupt as hell, according to people i spoke with, and as far as I can gather, this was done on purpose so the Croatian FA would get major fines etc. I was told a story about some club that was gonna be relegated, and after a payoff the league was expanded I guess and they stayed up. I never really met any overtly racist people there at all, living there for almost a year. I could be totally wrong but what I gather it was a stunt to get their FA exposed and fined etc. |
