Every neutral observer who understand football rules unilateraly agrees Croatia is robbed. France may won on paper but it was cheating
France most definitely deserved to WIN – just as Croatia most definitely deserved to LOSE. It’s a sign of new, more hopeful times - to the horror of all reactionaries.
Croatia’s (just like Poland's – and Russia's) team is entirely made up of white players, most of whom make their living playing for the country’s domestic league. The Top-Tier World Cup teams are not only ethnically diverse, but are stocked with players who ply their trade outside their home countries, in the world’s most watched, most-competitive and highest-paying leagues: the English Premier League, Spain’s La Liga, and Germany’s Bundesliga.
As for some poster here saying all Slavs were cheering for Croatia – well, I guess they (the poster) know better, being Slav themselves. To support white-only team over multi-ethnic one – exactly this kind of nativist behavior one might expect from them.
