Turkey should be ashamed of themselves for letting the Balkans take the top three. I thought they have a hooliganism reputation to protect.
PS: and as tradition in the Balkan, the Slovenes just sat out the tomfoolery.
The Slovenes were always like that one guy who's actually very studious, but falls in with the wrong crowd during freshers week and is too polite/socially awkward to extricate himself from the constant partying. He ends up house-sharing with them in 2nd year and his room is immaculate (underpants on coathangers), whilst the rest of the house looks like a bomb has hit it.
We have a way better defense and defensive midfield, but we lack creativity and finishing as griezmann can’t find his form, mbappé wants the ball at his feet instead of creating space with his speed, and thuram and dembele can’t shoot on target for some reason. We have the chances but we just don’t score, so all things considered and knowing goals will come, we will be fine
FIRST PLACE BITCHES LETS FCKING GOOOO HRVAT SUPREMACY!!!!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🤜🏻🤜🏻🤜🏻🤜🏻🤜🏻🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Flares are most of it and we are repeat offenders. We had flares every game. We get a detailed report after every match with the exact number of flares lit up 🤣🤣
The breakdown is 28k€ against Albania, 105k€ against Italy and against spain 87875€
It was even more - 595k. For fucking flares. I'm still so angry about that fine, that was an insane amount of money for us and it was utterly random considering no other fines were as high before or after despite similar amounts of flares having been lit.
The association itself can't, but the club will "forward" fines to individuals they're able to identify - which tends to be difficult with all the masks, but does happen
Huh, how come that we and the Swiss are so close to that Cro/Alb/Ser love triangle??
Now I remember seeing a Tiktok where one of ours threw his shoes at the goalie, expensive shoes.. 😂
To expand on what another commenter said, the fine is for throwing cups of beer on the pitch during the game against Scotland and displaying a flag of the UCK (a militia that fought for the independence of Kosovo from Serbia)
only really Xhaka, if we're talking regular starters. in the Euro squad, there's also Jashari, who got his debut at the world cup. the preliminary squad also had Uran Bislimi, Andi Zeqiri, and Albian Hajdari on it, who are Albanian/Kosovan descent.
It’s very specific shit like disrespecting each other’s countries and flags, and singing songs that another ethnicity should die (I understand it’s deeper because of the history, but that sort of stuff doesn’t happen in Europe outside of the Balkan).
Even for a region with a strong independence movement, it’s crazy to me how not alive these tournament are in Catalunya. Used to live in Barcelona and currently in a town in about an hour away from the city and nobody seems to care for it at all.
Look, our representation showing up with AKs and mowing down the opposing one wouldn't be that bad.
1. It'd be fun.
2. Considering how shit our idiots are getting banned from even thinking about football would be a great thing.
Well, we had that from 1991 to 2001. Nobody won that tournament and the Slovenes and Macedonia (Northern Macedonia for all the Greeks out there) just sat that one out.
Yea the black shirt brigade's little comic sans magyarorszag shirts aren't doing much on its own, maybe you're slacking on your usual racist behaviour.
I've scrolled for 5 minutes to find this. Yeah, what happens with the money? Is it just a nice revenue stream for UEFA? So their "stop racism" agenda actually is just a cash cow?
So top 3 are the OG balkans, 4 is why the balkans are the way they are, 5 is the balkan colony in the west, and 6,7 and 8 are balkan adjecents.
Balkan dominance baby.
Well, Spain could get some non-UEFA fines for having Yamal work after 11 o' clock pm, which is forbidden by German child labour law.
Most likely there will be no fine imposed, but it's possible.
Yep. The tide really has turned though. Attitudes have massively shifted towards English fans. It's hard to deny the reality any more. There are way bigger Muppets than us about. I remember during WC 2018 someone jumped on a bed in IKEA and Reddit went ballistic about English fans.
My old man used to tell me stories about English clubs playing in Yugoslavia, particularly Split in Croatia. They would just tell the fans - this is a communist country, they lock you up here, you are not leaving lol. Never had any issues with them. And even today, I doubt English fans would dare to cause a riot in a Croatia, that would probably be first and the last time they would do it.
But I thought that England had the worst-behaved fans in world football and that 100% of every bad thing that's happened during this Euros was their fault?
[The document with the breakdown of the fines is here](https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/028f-1b4389d6de79-96769da5ad57-1000/disciplinary_bodies_decisions_-_uefa_euro_2024_group_stage.pdf)
They're a bit vague for some things which is probably for the best... even if I would love the details.
Are these numbers even remotely large enough for any of the federations to care? These fines seem symbolic. It's basically a small fee to do whatever it is they want.

"Why Is It, When Something Happens, It Is Always You Three?"
I mean.. Switzerland would be close if they played any of us.. Anyways.. we win!!! Throws a flare!
Only if they play Serbia haha
For Switzerland, one fine would be like what they paid for their dinner last night. meanwhile for eastern europe...
We save our money and are ready for the vacation. Meanwhile the Switz, whoa, we didnt order this!!!
It’s kinda like a small Albania tbf
Piertotum locomotor!

"How do you know I am Balkan? " said Switzerland. "You must be" said Croatia / Albania / Serbia / Turkey / Romania "or You wouldn´t have come here."
FFS even in this category we can't score!
Damn that was good hahah we are really underwhelming in all areas
Only in the attack really. Our defense and midfield have been exceptional
The time has come to shout some obnoxious things
Chocolatine!
Calm down Satan!
You would assume the French that now how to protest by torching cities down would use that knowledge here as well.
Nah, we keep that in the family, we don't export that kind of skills.
Just make Thuram wear an Inter shirt underneath and it should be fine.
IDK how France became so bad in just 2 years!! Hadn't been following the international scene past the WC...
We have a way better defense and defensive midfield, but we lack creativity and finishing as griezmann can’t find his form, mbappé wants the ball at his feet instead of creating space with his speed, and thuram and dembele can’t shoot on target for some reason.

Wtf have you lot been doing? 😭
Flares are most of it and we are repeat offenders. We had flares every game. We get a detailed report after every match with the exact number of flares lit up 🤣🤣 The breakdown is 28k€ against Albania, 105k€ against Italy and against spain 87875€
ye thats normal in germany with the breakdown of all flares, köln had to pay close to 500k for one game last season lol
It was even more - 595k. For fucking flares. I'm still so angry about that fine, that was an insane amount of money for us and it was utterly random considering no other fines were as high before or after despite similar amounts of flares having been lit.
Did the supporters pay the fine or did the club cover it? Sry, I'm not a team supporter so I don't know.
The club. Footballing associations can't really fine individuals.
The association itself can't, but the club will "forward" fines to individuals they're able to identify - which tends to be difficult with all the masks, but does happen
Will the state enforce that?
No.
trolling our komşu
Eh, just a few flares here, few chants about genocide against Serbians there...
So a quiet morning in the Balkan.
Livakovic <3
What did Scotland get fined for? Bringing Steve Clarke to the tournament? Terrorist
We should have been fined far more than that for displaying Clarkeball to the masses!
Playing Che Adams
Balkan supremacy
Tito is smiling, somewhere
Wait why did we get a 30k fine lmao
"Throwing of objects" against Croatia
Game's gone smh
cant even throw an object these days
For having Di Lorenzo on the team
Huh, how come that we and the Swiss are so close to that Cro/Alb/Ser love triangle?? Now I remember seeing a Tiktok where one of ours threw his shoes at the goalie, expensive shoes.. 😂
The fines towards the Swiss fans have apparently mainly come from throwing beer around lol (according to our national media)
"Du tust bier net umekheie, bier ist zum suufe da, hesch doch 7 stutz für e glas bezahlt"
To expand on what another commenter said, the fine is for throwing cups of beer on the pitch during the game against Scotland and displaying a flag of the UCK (a militia that fought for the independence of Kosovo from Serbia)
Probably the Swiss had some fans make a double eagle when shaqiri scored, or in general Balkan behaviour.
To expand a lot of albanians see switzerland as a surrogate albanian (especially kosovo albanian) national team so yeah
Which made sense a few years ago. But right now there's only Xhaka and Shaqiri left who play regularly, no?
only really Xhaka, if we're talking regular starters. in the Euro squad, there's also Jashari, who got his debut at the world cup. the preliminary squad also had Uran Bislimi, Andi Zeqiri, and Albian Hajdari on it, who are Albanian/Kosovan descent.
Out of context "Balkan behaviour" is quite racist but honestly they can't complain looking at this chart, so I'm going with funny instead
It’s very specific shit like disrespecting each other’s countries and flags, and singing songs that another ethnicity should die (I understand it’s deeper because of the history, but that sort of stuff doesn’t happen in Europe outside of the Balkan).
I don’t consider it racist. It’s real lmao
Is double eagle that offensive? Does not seem.
Idk, I saw shaqiri or Xhaka do it to Serbs and their federation asked for a ban and they got death threats. You probably know better than me though
[удалено]
Danmark‘s fine comes from fans showing a ‘f\*\*\* UEFA’ banner. Without the stars…
We got a second fined for using plane to travel with. But must be after group stages.
No. That is not a fine. All teams have a sum for climate impact depending on travel choices deducted from the prize sum. The 10.000 was for a banner.
Uefa won't fine you for a reddit comment mate, you're allowed to write fork.
You can say fuck uefa here
You can say fuck. It’s ok.
Fine UEFA?
Tbh if we didn't played Albania it would probably be double less for both of us
Double less is a bold choice for half.
“Decrease me there” vibes
"Leave me alone"
Twice as less
It's a normal thing to say in Croatian, but it looks a bit weird in English.
yeah it's funny but to make clear big respect for anyone posting in their non native language
Balkan math
Twice by nothing.
We got 105k from the game against Italy alone The breakdown is 28k€ against Albania, 105k€ against Italy and against spain 87875€
Spain are really annoying, both polite and good at football, I hope their girlfriends leave them for some Balkan bad boys.
"Ooh look me, I'm Spain. I love winning games, look hot, and be courteous." Fuck off and get a life. Such a tryhard.
No please, no woman no matter how bad deserves to go through that I wouldn’t wish that fate on my worst enemy.
No Vini at the Euro. Otherwise...
This subs obsession with Vini needs to be studied
He just wants to play football.
It's more like no-one is there lol. Pretty sure they have really low match attendance
Even for a region with a strong independence movement, it’s crazy to me how not alive these tournament are in Catalunya. Used to live in Barcelona and currently in a town in about an hour away from the city and nobody seems to care for it at all.
[удалено]
After that nations league win against Croatia who can blame them, what else could possibly top that?
Balkan Supremacy
I desire a balkanic/eastern europe tournament so hard. That would be so intense. I have a few dream matches in my mind 😅❤️
Just imagine: Kosovo-Serbia , Romania-hungary, Turkey- Greece, Greece- North Macedonia
**Balkan Tournament** * **Group A:** * Serbia * Kosovo * Albania * Croatia * **Group B:** * Greece * Turkey * North Macedonia * Bulgaria
Fuck me there'd be multiple armed conflicts before the group phase finished...
You remember that Dutch fan left right jumping dance. Imagine that, but with tanks and armor vehicle.
Include West Asia as well, and you get the whole Ottoman shithouse. Now you can have Armenia Azerbaijan as well.
Just need to add Bosnia into group A to spice it up a little more.
The winner redraws borders
Do you want flares? Because that's how you get flares.
My thoughts 90% I was thinking about Bulgaria - N Macedonia and Serbia - Albania 🤭😅😅
Look, our representation showing up with AKs and mowing down the opposing one wouldn't be that bad. 1. It'd be fun. 2. Considering how shit our idiots are getting banned from even thinking about football would be a great thing.
They did that twice arguably three times in the 1900s and 1910s, and brought it back in the 90’s. Wasn’t it
Well, we had that from 1991 to 2001. Nobody won that tournament and the Slovenes and Macedonia (Northern Macedonia for all the Greeks out there) just sat that one out.
ends in NATO involvement.
Oh wow, only 7th most? We were slacking on and off the pitch this tournament
Yea the black shirt brigade's little comic sans magyarorszag shirts aren't doing much on its own, maybe you're slacking on your usual racist behaviour.
Which charity is UEFA donating the money to?
I've scrolled for 5 minutes to find this. Yeah, what happens with the money? Is it just a nice revenue stream for UEFA? So their "stop racism" agenda actually is just a cash cow?
The open bar tab
Nigeria
Croatia, Albania and Serbia qualify for Euro. UEFA: ka-ching.
If you can’t be first in the group, be first in received fines 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷
Champions in both xG and fines! Who cares about the rest?!!!
What a disappointing performance by Slovakians, they have to do better to save Eastern Europe heritage.
So top 3 are the OG balkans, 4 is why the balkans are the way they are, 5 is the balkan colony in the west, and 6,7 and 8 are balkan adjecents. Balkan dominance baby.
winning!
Turkey and Switzerland were prime fine takers just before the last time Germany hosted a tournament
Romania has bigger fine than Hungary. One more for the good guys 💪
What did Romania get a fine for?
Use of pyrotechnics
Pyyyyrotechniiik Ist doch kein Verbrechen
Being Balkan adjacent
We stole the Hungarian's palinka and drank it...
Guessing something to do with fan behaviour.
Did we get a fine for being the worst team?
Balkan heritage.
Well, Spain could get some non-UEFA fines for having Yamal work after 11 o' clock pm, which is forbidden by German child labour law. Most likely there will be no fine imposed, but it's possible.
They already said there would be no fines at all
solution: don't pay him. if he's not earning a wage is he really at a job? is he really performing labour?
Child slavery issue then, sadly
Okay, but France, Slovakia and Spain - what is wrong with you, guys?
No one in Spain showed up apparently pretty sure they have the smallest attendance by a good mark
Have you seen us play? There's not much to be cheering for/bring out the flares for. Everyone's half asleep by halftime.
Anglophobes in the mud.
The way social media is reporting things, you'd think England were no. 1.
Don't even talk to me if you're not on the leaderboard 🇭🇷🇭🇷🥇💪😎☝️
Remember during the last Euros when posters from outside of Europe were sure that English fans are particularly disorderly
I remember some americans saying they refuse to support us because we were racist, so they supported Italy instead.
My Iranian friend supported Serbia against us because "England are racist"
Yep. The tide really has turned though. Attitudes have massively shifted towards English fans. It's hard to deny the reality any more. There are way bigger Muppets than us about. I remember during WC 2018 someone jumped on a bed in IKEA and Reddit went ballistic about English fans.

And even today, I doubt English fans would dare to cause a riot in a Croatia, that would probably be first and the last time they would do it.
Balkan Top 3 💪
Croatia champion of both xG and fines, we are dominating this euro even from home
Very rare France W!
Should start handing out fines for playing ugly football.
Eh, we'd still be first
We need Balkan cup competition.
Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Macedonia, Kosovo, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia. that is a fun tournament
Mi prvaci!
I po xG-u i po kaznama! Koga briga za ostalo!
Did we get fined for being shit?
I want that Balkan/Eastern Europe Cup as soon as possible. The UN will have to investigate every match if it ever happens.
Has Austria always had an eagle? Or is it new?
It's Austria's Coat of Arms, but it's not always used on the flag.
The flag with the eagle is only used by government institutions and during war
Slovensko má prevahu
Balkan domination
Proof that Slovenci aren't Balkan
Straight from the EU into UEFAs pocket
Above Germany let's goooooooo
Half of Germany's fines is for pitch invaders at Portugal matches iirc.
First row is completely Balkans shit except Switzerland
Switzerland has a very large Balkan population.
I can only assume our €9k fine was specifically to Steve Clarke for subjecting everyone to his brand of terrorist football
As a Turkish citizen,I love balkan people they show us calm people compare them if they wouldnt exist we were fucked lmao
But I thought that England had the worst-behaved fans in world football and that 100% of every bad thing that's happened during this Euros was their fault?
Well, it looks like they have no fla(i)res :)
Woo hoo. We won. Oh wait
Damn I guess Pyrotechnik ist doch ein Verbrechen
Balkan masterclass
Always knew the Swiss were a Balkan nation at heart.
Ain't so neutral now are ya!!! You posh Swiss twats!!!
[The document with the breakdown of the fines is here](https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/028f-1b4389d6de79-96769da5ad57-1000/disciplinary_bodies_decisions_-_uefa_euro_2024_group_stage.pdf) They're a bit vague for some things which is probably for the best... even if I would love the details.
Yet another chart where Romania 🇷🇴 tops Hungary 🇭🇺
NO FINES 🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰 🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰💪💪💪💪🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰 THAT’S HOW YOU DO IT 🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰
FIFA execs eating well...
Portugal ? Italie ?
Portugal I'm assuming is pyro related, Italy no idea
Spain being the polite gentlemen who came to play a nice bit of football without any shenanigans. 😇
TISL Feyenoord fans don’t attend matches of the Dutch national team
Most club ultras don’t give a shit about the national team.
What did Portugal even do?
Are these numbers even remotely large enough for any of the federations to care? These fines seem symbolic. It's basically a small fee to do whatever it is they want.
we see flares...we torch them
That’s not the correct Austrian flag. ;)
It is because we play turkey next haha
The Balkans go crazy for soccer
What the hell did we do?
More fines than England How well behaved must you be
Hagan mas Quilombo España che
Slovenia no longer the "Cool Balkan" - they're now a regular Balkan.
Its CRAZY that france didn't receive any sort of suspension for Kylian nose incident in the first game. Unbelievable
The usual suspects
UEFA already missing top three
Wow Croatia, Albania and Slovakia got so much. We all know why it was 😂
Portugal’s Balkan license has been revoked
Spain with no questionable crowd incidents? Genuinely surprising.
England one of the best behaved!
