Croatia eliminated host Russia on penalties and, at the final whistle, the kick-off was given to the Croatian celebrations, which returned to the semi-finals of the World Cup. years after their last appearance. The author of the second goal of the Balkan formation, Domagoj Vida, was the most expressive of the celebrations and narrowly escaped the sanctions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee . All because football and politics were mixed again and everyone was having a bad time.
In a video posted on the social network Twitter, the central defender of Besiktas appears alongside Ognjen Vukojevic, former player of Dinamo Kiev and current scout of the Ukrainian club, in which the life of Domagoj acted up to 39, at the beginning of this year. "Glory to Ukraine!" shouted Domagoj; "This win is for Dynamo and Ukraine!" added Vukojevic – and Vida almost complicated enough for the Croatian defender.
А вот так хорватские футболисты празднуют победу ???? There was a suspension on the table, it was even said that the Croatian could not play again in this game.
World Cup, but everything ended with a wake up call. " The FIFA Disciplinary Committee sent a warning to the player for his video statement," assured FIFA that article three of its rules banned " political references in no way " to the athletes.
Domagoj Vida was shot with only one warning, but not for that reason was rid of justifying in public his particular celebration. " This victory is for Croatia There is nothing political about it.It was a joke.I have friends in Ukraine since I played at Dynamo Kyiv I did not want to say anything else.I like the Russians.It was just a joke "said the central statement to the Russian newspaper Sports before another video comes out, this time published by the other central, Dejan Lovren, which has a connotation with the fascist regime in Croatia during World War II.
But this is not a unique situation in this World Cup. If we go back to the group stage, we remember the goals of Shaqiri and Xhaka and their curious celebrations. The two players, accompanied by Stephan Lichsteiner, celebrated the Swiss goals by making with the hands the eagle of two heads, figure that stands out in the Albanian flag. FIFA interpreted the celebration as a political demonstration and fined the three players in 8.700 euros, allowing them to continue playing for the Swiss.
The excesses in the celebrations are already a accustomed in the main competition of the World of Selections. Domagoj Vida as well as the Swiss athletes got rid of the good, standing between the acceptable and punishable by FIFA. But there were those who could not say the same thing: after the viral videos of the English celebrations that destroyed an IKEA store in London, we have the video of a Croatian who, seeing himself in the final of the Cup of the world, decided to couch … throwing out the window . Once again, football brought joy and the furniture paid for it. But it's World, nobody takes it badly.
