These aren't fans. These are radical activists.

There are elements in Croatia who use football as a means of protest for their dumb political views. The VAST majority of fans are there for the fun and to support, but there is a tiny minority that go to matches for no other reason than to cause problems. One of the reasons the fans do this is in protest of the perceived corruption within HNS and Croatia's biggest club Dinamo Zagreb.
The players hate it, the fans hate it, the FA hate it. It's actually mind blowing these people are firstly able to buy tickets, and secondly, how the hell did they sneak that many flares in?
Oh, and I agree whole heartedly that Croatia would have won without the interruption. That was an epic collapse after a dominating 75 minutes.
EDIT: The incident is especially infuriating because of the Captain's father passing and his warrior spirit to come back and use a tragedy in his personal life for extra motivation for himself and the players. The players responded IMO as did the fans. It was a fantastic atmosphere. I'm so disgusted at those hooligans.
