This post and title has been updated to reflect that the Pussy Riot group took credit for invaders on the ground.

In one of those moments that is terrifying if you really think about what might happen, four people ran on the field early in the second half of the World Cup – interrupting a counterattack from Croatia: [19659003] USA TODAY Sports Images

Because no one wants to interrupt what has been an exceptional World Cup tournament ending in recent memory, no one has been amused by this. Or at least nobody should have had fun – at least in the beginning, before anyone knew why they had invaded the field.

The fans who ran on the field stopped the counter of Croatia ???

Did not see many fans running on the field for a long time. It's dangerous, dude. Wow

By way of punishment, the fans who ran on the field should spend the rest of summer in Qatar … .No AC. [19659006] – Paul Pabst (@PaulPabst) July 15, 2018

Update: The Russian punk rock feminist protest group, Pussy Riot, later took credit for the invaders on the ground according to reports

the independent British newspaper:

Pussy Riot claimed responsibility for the invasion on their Facebook page with a long statement.

They said: "FOUDRE!" At this moment – the four members of Pussy Riot in the final of the World Cup: "The Miller comes into play" on the World Championship!

The reaction after the identification of the protesters was very different – after all, the protesters with a message compared to drunken idiots are very different (including from this site): [19659005] I would never have thought that I would see another moment before the match of yesterday.
