Russia is out of the World Cup.

They lost to Croatia on penalty kicks.

I wonder how much Trump is on the hook for.

I never bothered rooting against Russia until the fuckers interfered in our election.

On the other hand love Croatia ever since Tony Bourdain went there and my sister traveled to the same areas and it was just as wonderful as Tony said it is. Go Croatia!

My mother's parents came from there, and yes, it is a beautiful country. Thanks for the link.

Too bad so sad Russia! Now the Dotard won’t be rooting for Russia when he’s sitting in a private booth with his bestie Putin.

I figured since the games are in Russia,
they'd win by cheating.

Now Trump won't have another excuse to praise Putin.

Russian athletes cheated in the Olympics held in Russia a few years back,
which is why they were banned in the more recent Olympics in South Korea.
