“Vida and Ognjen Vukojević celebrated Croatia's World Cup victory over Russia by shouting "Glory to Ukraine!", a common slogan in Ukraine, which is also used by Ukrainian nationalists. Vida later said: "I like Russian people. It was just a joke."
Following Croatia's victory over 2018 World Cup hosts Russia in the quarter-finals, Vida, celebrating the victory with former Croatian international and current assistant coach, Ivica Olić, was recorded saying "Belgrade, Burn!" in Croatian.”
Colourful.
