Message: [QUOTE="Yegorange, post: 2629951, member: 803"] While was kinda rooting for Russia, glad Croatia won. Makes for a much more entertaining semi with England. And oh how ironic that the most Russian of them all (idiot - not for soccer reasons - Mario Fernandes) goes from hero to goat. And Smolov’s PK was also pathetic. Some head scratching subs by Cherchesov too - of the 3 best players. The Russians blew a golden chance to advance. Hopefully now the Potemkin Village propoganda and its glorification will cool off a bit. Surprised the infamous Gnatiuk (?) trio was there, though they weren’t rhythmically chewing as in the Spain match. Not sure all have seen it, but the Russians photoshopped the russki flag off their cheeks into the spanish one to pretend they were just some crazy spaniards having fun. It’s been viral since. Despite the location, what a fun and unpredictable cup already. Personally rooting for Belgium-Croatia with Belgium winning it. [/QUOTE]
