Message: [QUOTE="MadDogRevival, post: 2777006, member: 8028"] You're being unreasonable. Vida said, "Glory to Ukraine." It wasn't "benign" at all. "Glory to Ukraine" is the expression that is used by anti-Russian Ukrainian nationalists. Very plainly, it was inflammatory and political and an attack on the host country. I'm cheering for Croatia to win it - how could you not? A population slightly larger than CT. But what Vida did was wrong. Very wrong. FIFA made a mistake. They should have suspended him for a 1/2 or a game to send a message. Can't let the sport be a springboard for people to vent about whatever is up their arse that day. Every country has issues - the world cup is about setting aside those issues and playing soccer. FIFA missed an opportunity. [/QUOTE]
