Croatian 24sata published an article about the Russian national football team on the eve of the selection match for the 2022 World Cup. The article is available on the website of the publication.
In the article, the author claims that only ten percent of Russian fans believe in their team’s victory in the decisive qualifying match against Croatia.
Also in the title of the article, the footballers of the Russian national team were called “Karpino anti-axers”. The author used the joking answer of the head coach of the national team Valery Karpin to the question of why some of the team’s players were not vaccinated against the coronavirus. “Anti-vaxers probably,” Karpin said then.
The match between Russia and Croatia will be held in Split on November 14. The Russian national team is leading in the standings of Group H. However, the Croats can get ahead of Karpin’s charges. To do this, they need to win a home match. It will allow the Croats to enter the 2022 World Cup directly, bypassing the playoff stage.
