Fifa = a little us puppet 🤣🤣 Your organization needs to be dismantled.

[@petarst]

is this movie about football or about politics or even worse about war conflict? If it is and it is Croatian propaganda against Serbian people, why you didn't mention who has started a war, how did you import weapons, what you have done before war started, how you have implemented concentration camp in WW2 where you have slaughtered 700,000 mostly Serbs. Have you informed nations that you were the only ones that had concentration camp for childrens? How many Serbian people live before 1990 in Croatian shire, and how many are there now? Ask them..

I was just a kid when Croatia won bronze in 1998 and I remember we the Croats felt so proud. A small country that went thru difficult times in the early 90s, when it was a question of whether our country would even exist. And our team did such a huge success back then. Our red-white checkered shirt got famous worldwide ever since. Ajmo Hrvatska! 🇭🇷

[@yaman3566]

I remember this game in details, it was never a red card for Wörns; the Croats didn't make a single chance prior to the red card's incident, and what made it worse, the substitutions Vogts had made in which he emptied the midfield by playing 4-1-4 in the second half. Worth to mention also is that Croatia passed Romania through a scandalous PK in the round of 16.

[@ericawesomo]

It was at that wc that referees started giving straight red card for dangerous tackles, tackles from behind or any kind of on purpose dangerous challenges, Worns would never get a red card in tournaments before. That's why Beckham got red card against Argentina. Yes, Germany was far better until the red card, and penalty against Romania was soft and Croatia was much better team that match against Romania, should have won easily by 2 goals . Worth to mention, Klinsman should get straight red card in first half against Croatia in England 96 for a tackle on purpose from behind on Vlaovic, and also Sammer goal for 2:1 should never be allowed because before the cross for the goal Babel made a clear foul on Jerkan. Croatia was robbed that match, and kicked out of the tournament while Germany went to the final and won the tournament. So there is that, now we have VAR so this errors should be minimised i guess.

[@yaman3566]

@@ericawesomo From behind only, Suker's was fouled from aside not behind.

[@ericawesomo]

@@yaman3566 Problem with that tackle was not that it was from behind or aside, it's the intention and possible outcome of the challenge. Worns entered the challenge with high foot and from that angle he could easily broke Suker's foot at the knee height if Suker didn't lift his foot and avoid the direct hit while his foot was on the ground. Worns was even one of the best players in the first half but that challenge was reckless and straight red by rules on that wc and i would say even by todays rules.

[@TheSpookyDuke]

Do you remember how Croatia played against France or Netherlands? Beating Germany 3:0 is NEVER a fluke, man, red or no red card.
