Always the same. Almost every game in qualifications for Euro was shined by numerous incidents. From already famous torches on first Italy - Croatia game, to 'Za dom spremni' heard on Croatia - Norway game...
But now swastika was spotted on empty fields of Poljud. How did Nazi swastika came on empty fields?

- Post will be updated in comments -

Here is the picture of giant swastika on Poljud.
It is hardly visible, but it is swastika. We are ashamed and UEFA will punish us surely, no one knows will it be disqualification or just another money punishment.

Is somebody making joke of us or we really have someone so dumb from our homeland?

Player interviews:

Domagoj Vida - We heard what happened, and we talked to eachother. I hope UEFA won't disqualify us. I prayed to God that this is the last time playing on empty field, because feeling is disturbing. Whole this story is very sad.

Darijo Srna - We have to see what happened, maybe there won't be punishments, or maybe there will.

Gordon Schindelfeld - This is disaster.

Danijel Subasic - I'm not interested in swastikas, football is my job and we I am goalkeeping I give best of myself. Other people should do other things.

That's disguisting, I hope you won't get disqualified, would love to see Croatia on EURO. I see some big fee + match behind closed doors for you. Maybe they will take away your points, but hope not.

Croatian Football Federation, HNS, said that swastika was made by chemicals which very made to appear during the game, under the reflectors. But how they weren't noticed?

Survey took by largest Croatian sports website, Gol.hr has following results:

• Taking points away.....16%
• Money punishment.....11%
• Empty fields again.......8%
• Disqualification...........49%
• No punishments.........16%

Only the people who did it should be punished...

You see riots, streakers, smoke bombs etc. all around the world, but this is strange.... it just happens to mix in with all the other lines on the pitch.

Disqualification will be harsh imo, but I would ban people who did it for attending any stadium, how no one noticed some guys on the pitch doing this?

^ No one knows how did they come to stadium. But I think there's something wrong here, it's technically unpossible to enter stadium and draw swastika, there is always someone on stadium, even cleaners.

Fees Croatian Football Federation have do pay because of hooligans:

Croatia - Norway, 2015. - 55.000 Euros
Italy - Croatia, 2014. - 80.000 Euros
Croatia - Italy, 2012. - 80.000 Euros
Spain - Croatia, 2012. - 30.000 Euros
Croatia - Ireland, 2012. - 25.000 Euros
Croatia - Georgia, 2011. - 75.000 Euros
Bulgaria - Croatia, 2014. - 60.000 Euros
Malta - Croatia, 2005. - 45.000 Euros
England - Croatia, 2006. - 42.000 Euros
Croatia - Serbia, 2013. - 42.000 Euros
Croatia - Belgium, 2013. - 42.000 Euros

I'm just very curious why the savez didn't notice this immediately and suspend the game until a proper stadium would be found.

Is that against Italy on purpose ? Serbian hoolingans stopped an Italy-Serbia game back in 2010.

Completely different. It was an insider(s) who was against the Croatian Football Federation.

You cant blame a whole nation for an act of a single person.

^ For me this is more than enough.

^no you can't, but every match something happens. now it happened even without supporters. if it were for me, i'd probably establish severe controls, ID-tied seat bookings and make Croatia play their home matches outside their country. it's a very tricky situation, sure the Croatian squad deserves the Euro because they've earned it on the pitch.

complicated.

I hope croatia are not disqualified. Who cares about a swastika. I can't even see ot properly

@shpalman Yea, that would be the great, some controls were established in Slovakia, just get the cameras on stadium, that should win solve a lot of problems.

@shpalman,

More control on our stadiums would be perfect. But I don't think it's such a good idea for Croatia to play outside our country. We have amazing fans, but unfortuanely much hooligans which are responsible for every controversy lately. Also it would be hard to real fans to travel outside of country, it's hard situation currently.

If we just have to play outside the country, I would be happiest with Slovenia or Austria.

@ liomessi10

Exactly! I haven't seen the swastika either until the commentator mentioned it in the 20th-something minute! It's very strange.

Wow. They will bring decision in month. As medias were talking about it, I thought UEFA is going to bring decision in few days...
