Croatia eliminated Russia from the World Cup, data that favor one who took the host | World Russia 2018

The Croatian national has earned enough to be one of the semifinalists of the 2018 World Cup. He has qualified as the first of Group D, beating Argentina, the Nigeria and Iceland; then eliminated by penalties in Denmark in the round of 16; but the fact that made him an obvious favorite to reach the World Cup final was to have eliminated Russia in the quarterfinals, also in the series of penalties. And it is not that the Russians are a great power, and that the overthrow converts the Croats into candidates, but there is a fact that is already a cabal in the history of the World Cups: eliminating the host country in phases of direct elimination.

It is a minor fact: in 12 of the 20 World Cups that were played, the team that took out the owner of the game – still in the final rounds – ended up playing in the final . The eight exceptions are the 6 world titles to the organizing teams (Uruguay-1930, Italy-1934, England-1966, Germany-1974, Argentina-1978 and France-1998); the opportunity in which South Africa remained in the group stage in 2010; and Switzerland in 1954, which was eliminated by Austria but was not a finalist.

Croatia knows that among the 12 occasions when the finalist was the team that took the host, seven have not only reached the final, but also they have won and they have won the World Cup trophy: Germany in 2014, which beat Brazil 7-1 in the semifinals; Italy in 2006, beating the Germans 2-0 in "semi-finals"; Brazil took the United States in the second round of the 1994 Cup and was consecrated; still Brazil would take the place, Chile in 1962, and won the title; The Brazilians also beat hosts Sweden in the 1962 final, as well as lost in 1950 against Uruguay; finally, Italy was consecrated in 1938 after having eliminated France in the quarter-finals.

The 5 teams who eliminated the owner of the house lost the final: Germany in 2002 (South Korea exit), Argentina in 1990 (eliminated Italy), Germany in 1986 (overtook Mexico), Germany in 1982 (eliminated Spain), and Italy in 1970 (eliminated Mexico).

Thus, Croatia is sticking to the globalist cabal, although it will have it playing very well to defeat England this Wednesday in Luzhnikí.
