EURO 2012: In addition to Russia, add the following further incidents...

This tournament is absolutely going over the edge!

Two other first-round matches are also going under investigation by the disciplinary committee:
  • Both Germany and Portugal are being made to answer for incidents in their first-round match.  German supporters were charged with throwing objects at people on the pitch, and Portugal's team is charged with delaying the start of the second half.  That meeting is scheduled for tomorrow.
  • Friday, Croatia is being called on the carpet for objects being thrown, a spectator pitch invasion, and fireworks being fired in the stands.
Anyone who thinks it's excessive drama to state that this tournament is one blown powderkeg from a match being abandoned or cancelled is not paying attention, and has not been since the get-go.
