You left this out of your article for some reason…not sure why

Croatia should be disqualified from the cup so that it would be a lesson that the Croatian fans would learn. Racism should not be tolerated! Give the next team to go to the Group of 16 stage!

Canadian goalkeeper Milan Borjan is a Serbian nationalist who was ridiculed by Croatian fans for his idiotic nationalism and fascism. Sebra still use the Nazi three fingers and all their athletes should be punished for it.

You call this just “taunts.” CBC Headline writers are Disgusting! Have you read your own article?

Crybabies 😭😢😭😢😭

I thought 'Sore losers' was a Belgian rock band, it seems it's Canadian after all... 😂😂

I don’t think Croatia will go a long way in this World Cup.

WayneMurphy2010 Can we agree this is an absolute shitshow? Seriously. 🙄

Respect CBC NEWS

Why was he forced to leave on 1995? Could it be because his daddy was Serb paramilitary killing his Croat neighbours, plundering and burning their homes from '91 to '95? He himself claims he's from Serb Krajina.

Good....the Croatian coach freaked out about being 'respected' over a comment he blew so far out of proportion. From the magazine cover to the racist fans' chants....Croatia never demonstrated that same respect they think they're owed. 🤡

Can FIFAWorldCup open a disciplinary case against the host Qatar!?

WAAA! FIFA they called us names! Canada suffers from 5-year-olditis. The only thing more embarrassing is Canada's play.

Good but any inquiry into the 6500 migrant workers who died constructing the stadiums?

Our big mouth coach should learn how to be respectful of others. But then he’s British

Poor baby

Not much will be done because his heritage is Serbian. Imagine if they were taunting an Ukrainian that was in refugee convoy as an 8 year old. Would the reaction to that be this mild if his background was different?

And when will the goalie of Canada who is a Serb be punished for pro genocide salute?

It’s a messy situation from a messy part of the world. These grudges won’t disappear for decades, if not centuries. People lost loved ones and ancestral homes. When both sides have legitimate grievances, it makes it trickier.

CONSIDER THIS: A hypocritical Canadian government and its national broadcaster have unjustifiably demonized Serbia for decades. ✔️
