Actually, Croatian-Americans Nick Saban and Bill Belichick made a secret trip to Russia and helped coach and prepare the Croatian team for their world cup run.

Too bad they lost to Croatia. I wanted to see them play France. We can only imagine the tension in that game between two nations that have had a rocky and strained relationship for centuries. France would of hammered England, and the world would of seen the mother of all meltdowns!

Croatian collusion.

You could buy these shirts from left-wing magazines for years:

Harold Wilson, the man who said the quote, was Prime Minister when England won the Cup in 1966.

After they lost in 1970, so did he.

I thought there were a lot of fake Croatian falls.....but I was rooting for England.

Croatia didn’t “import” a number of its players either, like England did.

I can't remember seeing an all-White team in the finals in recent years. (English and French teams are half Black).

I think ‘football’ should allow unlimited substitution, sucks England had to play the final stretch with 10 men.

[RoosterRedux]

I watched every minute of yesterday’s semi-final game and Croatia simply (and consistently) outplayed England right through the final stoppage.

The officiating was dismal, but England lost due to fitness levels IMO.
