During that time just for a short while we are all happy and for a short time ignore where we life and how we live. You still get one more game on Saturday even if you lose to England, its ok you get to live a bit longer no matter what the outcome

Archangel pls, if you want to win the people over, you can point to the obvious fact that English are proper cunts and if it comes home, world will never hear the end of it. xDD
but in all honesty, i just want this side of the bracket to take the bucket now that French made finals. if for nothing else so that clueless people that watch football every 2 to 4 years and just want to see Messi, CR7 or Neymar in every game can finally shut up about "who's good and who's awful"

Well thanks to the Croatian players pissing of Russians with their political messages the local fans will be on our side too so should be hopefully like a home game tonight.

I'd like to see Croatia win because they are the better team overall, but England will find a way to the finals I feel it.

I thought the Zidane vs Ronaldo debate was terrible and useless because it lasted so long in France but the height reached by Messi vs CR7 made me hate most of the sports medias. Mbappé's carreer has just began and I'm already tired of seeing so many articles about him.

Both sides are hella shitty to cheer for but Croatia probably edges it out on this one.

Come on now. It's not that bad. The standard is actually good if you take out the high taxes/loan rates/prices.

hehe, idk.
before WC it was already questionable how Russians would greet us considering our relations with the country that sucks up the most to them (Serbia) and/or the fact we're a Catholic nation. now when Vida said "Slava Ukraini" (Glory to Ukraine) they actually might be butt hurt enough to go with England.
without going into politics too much so i don't piss off Pande or some other mod, i just have to say it's funny how "Viva Italia" is okay but "Slava Ukraini" is not. i did my homework on r/ukraine and most people there are very upset it's being propagated as a facist salute, and blame their neighbors for being too good at media manipulation xD and just for context, Domagoj Vida spent 5 years in Dinamo Kiev and was sending his regards. somehow it ended up being politically important. oh well
in conclusion, as i said earlier --->

I don't mind that everyone hates us. It gives us an excuse to keep being cunts.

well, it's not manager, its scout for NT that got sacked. as for wearing pro-Ukraine shirts i have no idea what ur talking about. care to link?
full context -> + Show Spoiler +first video: Domagoj Vida, CB: Glory to Ukraine. Ognjen Vukojevic, (now former) scout for the NT: Victory for Dinamo and Ukraine DV: Let's go let's go OV: Greetings from Croats - both played for Dinamo Kiev - both spoke in Ukrainian and i'm not 100% on the translation but it's kinda similiar to Croatian second video: DV: i'm paying when i come (showing drinks). Slava Ukrajini. Belgrade is burning, let's go! Brother, wave, say hi to Caffe Beograd in Kiev, lit the place up. *both sing* DV: Greetings to all. Jovan, brother, kiss everyone, ciao, kisses. - this time it was in Croatian, to a Serbian owner of caffe in Kiev. - second guy is Ivica Olic, one of the assistant coaches, and didn't say a word except sing 2 lines. still employed. conclusion: Russians are delicate flowers, and Serbian media made headlines "Vida wants to set Belgrade on fire", which is just rofl and shows how shitty media can be )) also i just realized what the title of 2nd YT video is. lmao, putin is good ))

Ah well. I guess the up/downside of two unwanted teams facing each other in an elimination round is that it doesn’t really make a difference who wins, who loses.

One player (who is of questionable intelligence) and one of the assistant coaches did that stupid video. The player got reprimanded for it and assistant coach got sent home (since he is not of questionable intelligence and should have known better). There is no anti Russian climate within the Croatia team.

I have 3 friends who separately went to live in Croatia and are still there. They are all super happy over there. That's not to say anything about the struggles of the Croatian people, I have no idea about that, but it always looked like a good place for a foreigner to go and live.

A retired foreigner that is getting paid from his own country will live well if he can not get irritated easily by corruption at every step. A foreigner that is just working here and getting a regular Croatian level salary will not be happy. I would expect that guy is here because of a Croatian girl, I will admit our average girl is way more beautiful than in many countries. Also more loyal and "old school".
