Not necessarily, Russians were letting off flares and fired one into the England fans and still only got a suspended ban

Strange, they seem to be fighting amongst themselves. Maybe the proper fans turned on the knobheads who threw the flare.
It's a nice thought. |  |

Most likely Dinamo Zagreb fans fighting with Hajduk Split fans, crazy I know but the same thing happens at Serbia games as Red Star fans have to be segregated from Partizan fans in case they have a ruck.
The flare going off in that chaps face looked nasty, their punishment could all depend on how seriously he was hurt. |  | | |

It went off just before he picked it up, could have been worse.
He may be hearing buzzing for a few days though.... | | | |

Never seen anything like it tbh, hope the steward is OK and fair play to the players calling for calm from their fans.
It was hard after that not to want the Czech 's to equalise, which is a shame a Croatia played some great football. |  | | |

They were protesting against the corrupt Croatian FA although obviously that's not the way to do it. I'm guessing the fighting is between the idiots and people trying to get them to stop chucking flares and ruining their team's chances |  |

Reminded me of Wales in 70s/80s when Cardiff & Swansea fans used to have a proper punch up between themselves. | | | |

Problem for Uefa is that if you expell a team before they have played their third match then how do you settle on best third placed teams, if some have played only twice? | | | |

The in-fighting is about one man's hold over Croatian football
'To gain an understanding of what is at the root of the problem in Croatia, one simply needs to look at Zdravko Mamic. Recently named 46 on ESPN’s most influential people in football. He is the executive director of the Croatian football club Dinamo Zagreb and also acts as the Vice President of the Croatian Football Federation (CFF). Though he holds the title of Vice President of CFF it is widely known that he is the man in charge and the dictator of Croatian football.'
'Mamic, wielding power that no one else in Croatian football enjoys, hasn’t been shy in his punishment as he’s formed a blacklist of approximately 2,000 Dinamo fans who are no longer able to attend matches, both at home or on the road. Mamic has also closed off sections of the Maksimir Stadium where fans chanted anti-Mamic demands that he lose his position. Despite rivalries in the league with Dinamo, fans from rival clubs have shown an admirable amount of support for the beleaguered club and have also found themselves on a similar blacklist.
Dinamo’s home is the 40,000 capacity Maksimir Stadium, a stadium which now sometimes struggles to draw 1,000 fans for home games. How can this be? Through a system of boycotting, but more dire, blacklisting at the behest of Mamic. As the most powerful man in the Croatian football federation, Mamic has the power to keep anyone opposing him out of the Maksimir and since Dinamo’s fanbase is a proud one and one aware of the many shady dealings happening behind closed doors, Mamic has spared no expense in showing them his wrath.
Of course, it’s not just Dinamo’s fans who suffer; the opposing fans are naturally punished as well. Hajduk fans, for example, have seen their tickets turned away and have even been held by the police away from the stadium despite not having any criminal records. For this trouble, the club has even been fined even though the club itself did nothing wrong, such is Mamic’s control of the league.
The corruption is so deep-rooted that it even involves players, whether they knew they were partaking in questionable practices or not. Modric, the most high-profile Croatian footballer in the world, is someone whose transfer has come under question. Mamic and his brother, along with former Dinamo club director, are accused of pocketing more than half of the 21 million Euro transfer fee, that less than 50 percent of the fee was actually received by the club and not these three individuals. That’s not where it ends though, as Modric is obligated to give 20 percent of his earnings to Mamic for as long as he’s playing according to Croatian journalist Aleksandar Holiga. Modric isn’t the only one whose money directly fills Mamic’s pockets as high-profile players such as Mandzukic and Mario Kovacic allegedly face the same practice.'
