How is this a WORLD cup?
 

Last 3 winners have been Germany, Spain and Italy. If France win might as well be the EU Cup! Come on England! If not, then you can do this Croatia!

What I cannot understand is I have had a bet on England being the last European country ,but Russia was classed as being European ? wtf ?????

Croatia is in European Union too since 2013

Yeah it is classed as Europe.

Stupid isn't it? mind you Australia is in the Eurovision song contest

But IF England win the WC my bets up anyway as they are the last team standing

Russia is in Europe though, well part of it but I'd always have answered Europe if someone asked which continent it was in

Maybe just me but Ive never thought of Russia being European

Just weird that if France win it will be the fourth time one of the big four have won in a row :shade:

Really? I always would have, I'm sure in school that's where we were taught Russia was primarily :think:

I was hoping Belgium would knock them out last night

But Russia is Geographically Asian

Geographically it's in both, more land in Asia but most of the population of Russia live the European side.

Russia is one part in europe, and one part in asia


same as Kazakhstan, also one part in europe and one part in asia

Kazakhstan is not recognised in europe outside of sports

true shame it is, Kazakhstan has been broadcasting Eurovision for the last few years now, and they had been re-watching other past contests as well

they are quite devoted to this, as well as Turkvision where they participate also for quite a lot of years now


:love: as for sports well Zarina Diyas is a good tennis player for them, and football they have 2 teams in champions league qualifying rounds, and 2 in Europa league qualifying rounds

Moscow has always been considered a european city

It’s coming home

was delighted that cheat Thierry didn't progress :dance:

:joker: still bitter about 2010 I am

Me too

If only they had VAR back then :fist: although I feel like they wouldn't have used it anyway, France was the preferred team to get through I think :idc:

God I was so angry in that game, made my blood boil
