New Age Proof Size Doesn't Matter: Croatia vs. Russia

Croatia vs. Russia

Last night Croatia beat Russia at their World Cup football match.

Croatia is moving on to the semi finales with the winning score of 4:3 during the penalties.

The last time Croatia was this successful in football was when Ćiro Blažević was at the helm of the team coaching and supporting them all the way!

The Croatian president Kolinda Grabar Kitarović was there at the game supporting her team, while Putin, although not present at the game reportedly took the defeat gracefully and considers his team heroes for fighting.

The team won during penalties and the Croatian footballer Modrić, who was deemed the stand out of the game with Russia, said he expects a difficult and demanding match against England!

Luka Modrić

England has come into the semi finales finally after almost 28 years. I'm sure the match will be spectacular - for all viewers - young and old!

Congratulations Croatia!

You deserve it!

i want to congratulate Russia more because they played against a team that is much more expensive than them. Crotia has stars who plays for teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus e. t. c but Russia even doesn't have only one star. Russia has a humble squad. I guess only Modric's yearly earning is more than all Russian players' yearly earning. Crotia could win easily with its squad but i think crotia's coach is an coward. The team plays unnecessarily defensive football because of him. Crotia could easily defeat denmark and russia but You barely defeated these teams by penalties because of his tactics. I support you against England and I think crotia's squad is even better than england's squad but i think you can lose to england because of your coach.
Good luck.

Croatia played well yesterday, though I think that the fact that Croatia won us doesn't has anything to do with the size of the country

[LittleSally]

That was the point... Just because a country is small doesn't mean there are less quality people in it than a huge country like Russia...

[Opinion Owner]

I get it but this match still that wasn't a really good example.

[msg812]

Asker girl, maybe you should search how many medals does Russia usually have and how many medals does crotia usually have in the olympic games. Then you can rethink your theory about size:))

[Zorax]

Well, it was a great game, and Russians are cheering for us against England. Their team is just a pale shadow of former USSR team (which would have been much tougher opponent).
U svakom slučaju, naprijed naši ;)

[Iron_Man]

Yes indeed what country are you from?

[Zorax]

@Iron_Man Croatia 🇭🇷

[Iron_Man]

Cool

[Zorax]

@Iron_Man Thanks

[msg812]

How do you know Domagoj Vida? I am from Turkey and this guy played in turkey for a turkish team last year and probably he will play in here this season too so i wondered what you crotians think about him.

[Zorax]

@msg812 I don't know him personally. Some people like him, some prefer other players.

[msg812]

ok, thanks dude

[Zorax]

@msg812 You're welcome.

[Iron_Man]

Congratulations my friend on your victory over England

[Zorax]

@Iron_Man Thank you my friend, it's gonna be even more interesting in the finals.

[Iron_Man]

Good luck on Sunday it's going to be a heck of a match for the world championship

[Zorax]

@Iron_Man Indeed, thanks 👍

[Catholicgirl22]

I think Belgium proves this more.
Panama v Belgium 0-3
Tunisia v Belgium 2-5
England v Belgium 0-1
Japan v Belgium 2-3
Brazil v Belgium 1-2
If they beat France tommorrow after beating Brazil it will be truly a case of David slaying goliath

Russia vs Croatia was the most thrilling game I ever saw

[ChocoLada]

Nema nas niđe boljih na svijetu no ođe na Balkanu ;)

[Femdomina]

Croatia sunked England, yesss, well done, I'm so happy, good luck in the finals, bravo Hrvatska!

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Of course not. Neither in terms of area or population.
You guys were so close.
by the way, Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic is my new favorites world leader now

[Waffles731]

Isn't most of Russia uninhabited
It's like Canada.
Most of Russia's population is in the smaller portion in Europe
While most of Canada's population is within 100 miles of the U. S border

[Iron_Man]

Go England

[LittleSally]

Which England players are your favorites? =)

[Iron_Man]

None. I just like to tease you from time to time ⚽ Russian girl

[LittleSally]

I knew it...
I'm Croatian... Hahaha

[Iron_Man]

Lol... But didn't they used to be Russia and they all separated? I like Russian people

[msg812]

No, they didn't crotia was never be a part of Russia in the past. Crotia is a mediterranean country. It is far from Russia.

[Iron_Man]

Is Croatian similar to Russian?
First of, Croatian (as well as Bulgarian) is South Slavic, whereas Russian (as well as Belorussian and Ukrainian) are Eastern Slavic. In essence, it is more or less the same as Serbian language. They are two subvarieties of Serbo-Croatian language. Also Croats use Latin alphabet whereas Serbs use Cyrillic. Apr 23, 2011

[msg812]

I don't know much about their language maybe the asker girl can illuminate you about this but i am sure about that crotia was never a part of Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

[Zorax]

Croatia was a part of Yugoslavia, not USSR. As for the language, Croatian is quite similar to Serbian, but even more similar to Bosnian and Montenegrin.
Naturally, all the Slavic languages are related to Russian, Czech, Bulgarian, Polish... we share a lot of common words.

[Iron_Man]

Congratulations little Sally you must be thrilled off to the finals your team goes

[Nik1hil]

[disgustingweebtrash]
