Provocative incidents of football players of the Croatian team during the World Cup 2018 in Russia ended in a logical way: at the celebration in honor of the silver award of the mundialya song sang the singer Marco Thompson Perkovich. In Zagreb, footballers were honored as heroes - they met more than half a million people, 15% of the total population of the country. And one of the participants of the concert in the central square of the Croatian capital was the odious singer Marco Perkovic, nicknamed Thompson - he received it because of the pistol that he carried in the 90s. during the civil war in Yugoslavia. Perkovic stood at the head of one of the volunteer detachments and was one of the most popular performers in the country. In the songs he threatened to kill the Serbs and did not disdain to use the slogans of the Croatian fascists - the Ustash (the organization banned in Russia) who were allies of Germany during the Second World War,. The singer is not allowed to perform in European countries, and in Croatia, from recent time he can not use the symbols of the Ustasha. Perkovich Thompson sang only neutral patriotic songs at a celebratory concert in honor of footballers. However, when journalists asked Goran Marich, the Minister of State Property, why they called this particular singer, they heard in response that this was asked by the players of the national team. In the neighboring Serbia, the concert caused an unequivocal reaction. President Alexander Vucic said that Croats were healthy at the championship, but admitted that he did not support them. He stressed that the president of Serbia can not root for the team that sings songs about the Serb bandits and added that his family was injured by the Ustashi in due time, and during the civil war all the houses of his relatives were destroyed.

Marked on the holiday and Doma Vida - he miraculously did not get under the wheels of the bus, but was saved by goalkeeper Daniel Subasic. The Croatian team for the first time in its history managed to win silver medals of the World Cup, losing only to France (2: 4). After the match 1/4 finals with Russia, which the Croats won, footballer Domagoi Vida and ex-player Ognjen Vukojevic dedicated the victory to Ukraine and recorded a video where they shouted "Glory to Ukraine!" Subsequently, Vida apologized to the Russians for his trick.
