  • Croatia's run to the 2018 World Cup final wasn't a simple success story. There's a dark side off the pitch, and for some fans the glory was an escape from reality. This is the truth behind their incredible run in Russia.

I'm not knocking France, otherwise I wouldn't have taken French in University, I wouldn't be interested in the culture and know a lot about the history, but, it seems their national team are cheaters. I'm a little peeved about it, but at the same time, what else can you do? Croatia did well, they have every right to be proud.

  • @krks99

    As a Serb, for all the issues Mamić undoubtedly created in the FA, there is no denying that Croatia's school of football and development and logic of transfers far exceeds anything anybody has done in the Balkans. There is a sense of national pride in terms of simplicity too and when you combine those 2 things you clearly see why the national team has done so well. There is a reason why guys like Kramarić and Rebić are shining at Hoffenheim and Frankfurt, while guys like Grujić and Marković here for all their immense talent are struggling. There is a reason why Modrić almost plays better for Croatia than Matić and Stanković ever did for Serbia. The coaching is also better and in general Croatia produced some of the best players in the former Yugoslavia (Boban, Prosinečki, Šuker, etc.) They have that gene for the game.
    I wont say i will be supporting Croatia because that would be dishonest of me but they absolutely deserve to win the whole thing. Great piece, COPA90

    • @mitjamvp
      @mitjamvp Před 5 lety +20

      Mamic was/is a chairman of Dinamo Zagreb, and he is like some kind of mafia boss. During his time at Dinamo Zagreb players like Eduardo Da Silva, Modric, Badelj,..., all came to prominence and were sold, Dinamo really produced crazy amount of quality players who were later sold for huge profits. Dinamo is 3rd on the list of teams with most players at this world cup. So back to Mamic. He was a good at making profits, but he also stole a lot of money, he made really fishy contracts with young talents and eventually grew so strong that he got a lot of influence in croatian football association. So some people dislike Modric because he lied at the trial to try and save a criminal (only Luka knows the reasons, might be a big thanks for what Mamic did for his early career, might be fear, might be lack of balls).

      Tackar. Det är inte ofta vi får komplimanger från DK. Det är sant, i både handboll och fotboll. Har stor respekt för Schmeichel. Trots förlusten så var han i sina kommentarer väldigt fair mot oss hela vägen till finalen. Det var inte illa vad ni gjorde i Sverige 1992 eller 2021. Ni skulle ha vunnit mot Eng på samma sätt som vi skulle ha vunnit mot FRa för att vi och ni var bättre än de stora länderna. Frågan är varför domarna inte kan stå emot att döma för de stora länderna på de små länders bekostnad ? Jag dock gillar mest vad ni åstadkom när ni för första gången kom in på världsscenen i fotboll det vill säga 1986. Ta inte illa vid dig men ni faktiskt fanns inte på fotbollskartan innan dess. Det stordåd ni uppvisade då och direkt spelade riktigt vackert mycket tack vare den fantastiska trion, och mina personliga danska favoriter vid namnet Elkjer, Lerby och den störste av de alla Michael Laudrup. Respekt.

    Ok, let's check this out at the bright side. To Croatians, football is life. They won the second place, that's the best they got in ages. Second place, nothing bad happened when they returned home, it took them six hours to get to their final destination, and it usually takes half an hour. France got the gold, yet people got hurt. Now, I'm not hating France or anything, both teams did an amazing job at the finals. But Croatians *adore* football. They literally live for it.
