As a rule, football is trying to protect from all forces from politics, but the policy itself is drawn to the game number 1. The victory of the Croatian national team was not ignored in NATO. The military organization for some reason found it necessary to point out the fact that at the World Cup in 2018 after the departure of the Russian team there were only the countries that make up its membership. "The remaining four teams in the FIFA World Cup belong to NATO countries. Good luck to all teams! ", - said in the official Twitter of the organization. Let's notice, that on passing in Russia the World championship took part 10 countries-members of NATO. On the eve of the Russian team lost to Croatia in the quarterfinals of the World Cup. In the regular time the match ended in a draw - 1: 1. In extra time, the team again exchanged goals, and in the penalty shootout were more successful Croats - 3: 4.
