Croatia came to Milan to play Italy in the qualifying match for the 2016 European Cup competition on Sunday. This match was very important to the hopes of the Italians. And, conversely, to one of my best friends, who lives and dies Italian football.
So when visiting Croatian fans disrupted the game by launching flares and generally acting like the asshats they are, it was not well received. The game had to be stopped for about 15 minutes or so.

When the game finally ended, many Italian fans sought to address their grievances with the remaining Croatian fans. Including my friend. Who, in response to being mocked by a couple of Croatians, punched one of them in the face and kicked another before being dragged off by her husband. Who noticed the hundred or so riot police approaching.

Watch the short youtube video for a brief taste of the happenings.
