In the world cup qualifier between England and Croatia, which was played on the 10th of september in Croatia.
The English striker Emile Heskey fouled the croatian Niko Kovac. Following this incident, the Croatian fans started their ugly racial abuse in their monkey chants. Emile Heskey said these croatian fans are just plain ignorant people.
F.I.F.A. herd the case and fined Croatia 15,ooo pounds. And clearly said racial remarks of any kind will not be tolerated in any form.
But is 15,000 pounds as a fine enough? The answer is NO.. The amount to the croatian football federation is peanuts.
I personaly feel the fine should have been a larger amount , it should have been50,000 fifty thosand pounds andthree points deducted from the countrys points for the world cup. And Croatia shouldplay the nex world cup qualifier in a empty stadium .
With these points being deducted then only will it hurt them.
In a freindly between Spain and England these players were also treated to monkey chants they were Ashley Col, Shawn Wright Philips and Emile Heskey. Rio Ferdinand blamed F.I.F.A for not taking enough and stern action against them.
