So all this football happening, I just have to look back to 2018. Let me tell you a story.

I was still a kid back then. And I was more passionate about football that I am now. The world cup of 2018 was pure magic.

I come from Croatia. It's not a big country and it's not I don't know how famous, so when Croatia got into finale of world cup, which has never happened before, we were unstoppable. We were infinity.

I was screaming and I was crying alongside my grandma, because we had our colors for the whole world to see.

We didn't win. We ended up second in the world. I don't even know what words I want to use to describe how we were feeling.

Few days later, players came back. They landed in 3.30 pm, and it was expected for them to come to the main square in about 4.30/5.00.

My family and I were part of the people waiting on the square. There you have one of the biggest stores in our whole country, and by 2.00 pm, all the drinks were gone. Shelfs were empty, and it was summer, so only people in the store were the ones who were hot and wanted to cool down for a bit.

I don't think I have ever experienced such a vibe. We had about 150 thousand people just on the square. We were all singing and dancing and celebrating until we waited for players to arrive. It was an ocean of red and white. We were one piece, all there to be proud of our country.

In the end players arrived in 8.30 pm. They couldn't even drive as they planned to because roads were filled with people with their numbers on their back. They were heroes.

And when they finally came to the square, god was it something. We had fireworks and players were singing and I remember sitting on my father's shoulders, crying and singing and laughing and feeling thousand things at once. There is something that is often on my mind these days. It's one of the lines from the song and it goes "Ovdje nitko nije normalan, nije normalan" in translation "No one here is normal, is normal".

At the end, it was almost half million people. All singing as one. I remember watching Šime Vrsaljko on the stage and he had a cap on his head, and now looking back I think he had a few to drink, which to be honest, he had every right to.

It was beautiful. We had a bigger celebration than France, who was the world champion. We were infinity.

Small country, on the top of the world.

since you're going through a nostalgia time, i feel like i have to bring up the fact that i think we were friends at one point?? im not sure if you would remember me but i was @lahmm, the one obsessed with philipp lahm (shocker). i guess when i remade my football blog i followed you because we were mutuals from the golden era of pre 2018 german nt-blr :') anyway i dont have a lot of recollection from that time but everytime i see your url i still get that treasured mutual vibe so that must count for something lol. hope you're doing well and all :)

omg of course! i believe i was your biggest reblogger of all the lahm content :') i'm so glad to find at least one other non-bayern germany nt fan again gshdbfkfj thank you for sticking around!

#i dont think anyone from recent times here knows im a germany nt fan because i never post them anymore lmaooo #wc2018 was a massacre 💀#anyway! that truly was a magical era :')#ask #torunarigha

why is emiliano martinez so childish. not only did you do the dumbest gesture at world cup (something that a 10 year old kid mimicked today) but you contribute to the racism mbappé is facing by publicly mocking him. just be happy you won, theres no need to rub it in his face. you wear your nazi descendant badge like it’s an honour

#and he also scored four goals against you LOL #like if youre not french you probaby haven’t seen how much racism has come from the argentinian side/american side #im not saying the french side hasn’t had racism but the amount that mbappé is facing is despicable #also you have no idea how this loss is gonna FUEL HIM for the next competitions #that’s what happened at euro2016 and we won wc2018 :)#so good luck !

Speaking of french affection.. what's up with macron?? He's all over kylian. Even back in wc2018 like dude babygirl was 19 back then. Anw he just gives me the creeps.

2018 was genuine effusion. Macron is all sorts of red flags but he can be very spontaneous and football is really a passion of his. I don't see anything weird per se. I feel like Sarkozy too would have gone for it. It was just A Moment. But 2022 was purely for brownie points and just Macron trying to replicate that moment from four years ago, which is why we all felt the secondhand embarrassement when Kylian shoved him away

#kylian mbappe #i could write an essay about Macron and Sarkozy and PSG and Kylian tbh

What if we gaslight ourselves into acting as if WC2022 never happened?

I mean we already did that with WC2018 I think we could pull that again

#cant believe we still havent had a wc since 2014 wow so strange #wc2022
