Croatia deducted Euro 2016 point for pitch swastika

BBC: Croatia have been deducted a point from Euro 2016 qualifying Group H as punishment for a swastika painted on the pitch before a match against Italy. Uefa also fined the Croatian Football Federation (CFF) 100,000 Euros (£70,000) and ordered their next two games to be played in an empty stadium.

The story is too old to be commented.

It feels like every other story I'm putting up at the moment is about racism or similar in football. It's heartbreaking.

Sadly, 'sabotage' or not, this is far from the first time Croatia have been tied up in something of this nature.

**Posting note: No Croatia tag. Even more surprisingly no tag for UEFA.**
