Hungarian Football Federation will have to answer charges of supporters
setting off fireworks, throwing objects and being involved in crowd
disturbances after Saturday's 1-1 draw with Iceland.

supporters are Croatia - who also have a more serious offence of racist
behaviour hanging over them - Turkey, Romania, and Albania.
