    If the Czechs score now there'll be a riot.

    The Croatian fans only have themselves to blame.

    I've always rated Mark Clattenburg :-)

    UEFA should issue a statement now... If ANY team causes trouble inside the Stadium they're instantly kicked out.

    Doesnt matter if the team involved has been innocent so far, everyone has had two warnings with these incidents now!!

    I'm guessing that the trouble in the Croatian end was stewards/police trying to remove the people who threw the flares?

    Why is Stephen Henderson playing in goal for Croatia?

    Only just switched on the game and missed the trouble.

    I just don't get how flares can get into the ground? I'd be seriously worried by the security at this tournament.

    Henry .. the French one .. summed it up succinctly, Modric goes off and the Croats implode .. well done the Czechs .. keeps the whole thing more interesting

    More to the point - this is a country that little more than months ago witnessed one of the worst atrocities and yet fans are allowed to go into grounds unchecked. Flares now - what next?

    Well, I managed to tune in near the end at 2-0 just as the commentator told us that Croatia would score more. Exciting finish.

    Anyone see the Spanish kick off???

    I thought the ball had to go forward, has that been abolished?

    Yeah can go anyway it wants now.

    On another note are we getting a boring Spanish game commentated on by Tony Pulis?

    Brought my beer back from the pub (you can do that here), it was too much :-)

    Still reeling from the idiocy of the Croatian fans. Seems to be some kind of internal issue involving Split v Zagreb and alleged corruption in the Croatian FA, which might explain the fighting. Well that's a great way to resolve it.

    Just seen the Turkish managers name; Faith Terim. Didn't we have his brother managing this year?

    Great to see poetic justice respond so swiftly to the disgusting Croatia fans. You have to feel sorry for their team though, as they outclassed the Czech Republic!

    So Croatia fans sabotaging their own team, and now Turkish fans booing their own captain. Quite a day

    Well you wouldn't catch Charlton fans booing their own players, even before they came on, would you...

    Don't get me wrong, the Spanish are marvellous to watch in terms of passing and control.. BUT, personally I haven't felt that bored by a football match in a long time.

    I'm not sure why; as I say, Spain play a smooth and skilful game, and there were 3 goals too. It just seemed a bit slow and stale. Perhaps it was because Turkey seemed too nervous to really play after going 1-0 down?
