Yes fuck them. That's what they've chosen to represent.

Plus lmao if you think Russia haven't rigged this shit somehow.

I mean I'm not a fan of the Russian side either (politics aside, the Canadian in me refuses to root for them and from what I have seen of them in the knockout phase, they are not a fun side to watch) but this isn't Korea 2002 here. No druggie refs came in to fuck over the Spanish. The Spanish fucked over the Spanish.

People keep saying 'eat shit Vlad' and it's so sad

Putin is trash, but Russia is filled with good and bad people. Like your country and mine. They wanted their team to win and ultimately the players here were the underdogs and will hurt just like if your team lost.

Have some empathy and a wider world view than what your media teach you to hate
I like you.

I feel like people haven't actually watched Croatia aside from that Argentina match. They've really not been as good as some are making them out to be.

I really hope we can have a nice friendly France vs England final

It would be amazing 100 years after the end of WWI

Right but of course they've tried.

Winter Olympics was 4 years ago, they haven't changed their ways since then.
The olympics is almost entire individual events where its about taking PEDs to improve your ability. Buying off a judge is quite hard as very little is subjective.

If your really sure that Russia have rigged the WC then you're also questioning not FIFA themselves but the referees and assistants and VAR.

France vs England would be great for the banter, but I feel the world deserves Belgium vs Croatia. It's time for glory to be spread.

I was actually fine with England winning but not anymore. Fucking twats.


I think I can safely speak for the majority and condemn these cunts.

The other 50+ million people in England are not doing shit like this.

Hopefully they are dealt with accordingly.

England is gonna beat Croatia.

It's gonna be England versus either the HQ of the EU (Belgium) or leader of the EU (France).

It's probably going to be France v England though.

I hope the final is England vs Belgium. A final of two chokers. I think it would be really entertaining.

Like, fine but Russia isn't special in this case so your whole 'the media teaches' angle come in as a bit disingenuous. People have given a lot of teams shit so far and would be far, far worse it the US was in the tournament.

I don't understand why people expect Croatia to play like France or something. It's not like they are some certain favourites that everybody expected to reach the final even before the tournament started.

They are a very strong team, but they won't ever go all guns out blazing in a game, especially a decisive one. They don't have that mentality. You get that only after many years of continuously winning or performing well in competitions. Every step forward in this WC is a great achievement for them. They reached semifinals only once before.
