When you think about hating on croatian players just remember the fact that Croatia is one of the smallest nations in world. Brazil literally has more footballers than the entire population of Croatia. Croatia won a second place in world cup 2018 and is fighting for third place in world cup 2022, meanwhile way bigger countries are out of the world cup. But most important of all is the fact that Croatia became a country in 1991, but participated in 6 world cups. Thank you very much.
is there anything funnier than hearing half the audience at a world cup game singing “god save the queen” on like auto-pilot mode and then you can hear about half of those people correcting themselves to “king”
now that the world cup is over, as an argentinian I would like to know what other people around the world think about this song is based on a song created a long time ago by chileans (as I understand) adapted to the World Cup by argentinian fans for the french players with very controversial lyrics.
just out of curiosity! feel free to reblog or leave your opinion in comments, even if you are argentinian too!

Corran la bola, (run the ball) by Anon Argentinian fans
Lyrics:
Listen
Run the ball
They play in France but they’re all from Angola
How nice it’s, they’re going to run
They’re lock-eaters¹ like the faggot Mbappé
Their fucking mom is Nigerian
Their fucking dad is Cameroonian
But on the document²
Nationality: French
¹ - in argentina, “lock” is something akin to a slur used to denigrate trans women, and the verb “eat” refers to having sex, but in an ordinary/informal way, so "lock-eaters" (cometrabas in spanish) means "person who has sex with trans women" but in an offensive and/or transphobic way.
² - in argentina and other european countries, instead of a "green card" we have something called a "DNI" (national identity card) which contains our name, thumbprint, nationality and other identifying information. Not having a valid DNI is illegal, and all citizens get one as soon as they are born.
Hi! I'm from Argentina and can translate that ask in Spanish you got!
SFW version: Why do you cheer for that French guy who said Latin America plays badly, yet later we won the match?
Argentina version: why the fuck are you cheering for that French guy who babbled on about how latin america plays worse and we kicked their fucking asses
We do love our curses here
Thank you for the translation! I had a feeling I was somewhat insulted but I will let it slide because it’s funny
I’m going to throw some hands if i see one more comment slandering croatia. Why y’all mad? Because we have a great goalkeeper? because we fight to the very end? Because we have one of the best midfielders in the world? Because we went through to semi-finals? Chill tf out. World doesn’t resolve around your favourites and saying “it was neymar’s last wc” doesn’t change it. What were croats supposed to do? Let them win? It’s Luka’s last wc too. Put some respect on their names
It's been five days since the World Cup concluded in Qatar, and most teams have now safely returned home. But the status of IRAN's national football team remains unclear. Many will remember those images of Iran refusing to sing their country's national anthem ahead of their opener against England. It was as an act of solidarity with protests back home in Iran over the death of Mahsa Amini, who died in police custody. But what happened to the players when they returned home?
