It wasn't just a couple of flares either, was it?

They could've burned the place down had they better organized themselves

Seriously though. The French need to sanction themselves, they can't police their streets. They already had mass disruptions to their cities before the Tournament & foreign fans manifested themselves. UEFA needs to sit on a spike.

Everything's just going to the highest bidder or closest 'buddy' The Olympics in Rio are going to be utter wank as athletes keep dropping dead from swimming in Zika infested mosquito water

I feel for France, the emphasis was always going to be on preventing a terrorist attack, something that is very difficult to do with so many "foreigners" swarming into the country but you would think the basic security at the stadiums themselves would be so tight!! I went to a Super Bowl event, not the game, just an event and we had to go through metal detectors and pat downs, yet it seems in France you can walk right in with anything!! Apparently all Croatia fans had to show their passports as they went in, not sure why, but surely at that point searches could have been performed?? Flares are a new thing at football for us, they are clearly dangerous particularly in large crowds but for the Eastern European teams they have been around for a while, so they should have been expecting them.

Ireland have been crap in this game, no end product at all!!! Belgium are full of talented players but they do not function as a team and Hazard is a shadow of the player he was a couple of seasons ago!!
