RusCro game in Sochi, great fancam video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFqVOitd-w4
France is sooo boring... i hope they will lose final, but it's not likely considering their roster..
Now there are even more similarities with Ukraine at World Cup 2006, I noticed this at the group stage already, just look at it:
2006
Group stage: Ukraine loses to group's favorite (Spain, 4-0). Easy win against Saudi Arabia (4-0), win against north african team (Tunis, 1-0). In 1/8 Ukraine has beaten european team (Switzerland) by penalties.
2018
Group stage: Russia loses to group's favorite (Uruguay, 3-0). Easy win against Saudi Arabia (5-0), win against north african team (Egypt, 3-1). In 1/8 Russia has beaten european team (Spain) by penalties.
More similarities: in both cases Poland couldn't make it out of the group, losing to latin american team (Ecuador in 2006, Colombia in 2018), but winning the last game.
It's not coming home yet
gz Croatia, its nice that now i have some team to cheer for in the final
