I’m sad for Brazil, but I also can’t help but be happy for Croatia. In fact, I want to party with them.
Brazil and Croatia faced off in a 2022 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals matchup Dec. 9. The game was so intense the whole way through that it ultimately went into both extra time and a penalty shootout off a 1-1 tie. After Croatia hit all four of their shots and Brazil missed two of theirs (including a heartbreaking smash of the post), the eastern European nation collected the 1-1 (4-2 PK) win, as well as their tickets to the semi-finals.

Absolutely devastating for Brazil, but what a time to be alive for Croatia — a country with only four million people.
And all four million of them are acting like it, too, by absolutely partying their asses off as I write this (as they should).
The streets of Zagreb are shut down due to celebration, the sky filled with fireworks. Croatia is returning to the World Cup semifinals, and maybe more. Who knows how long the party will go on 🇭🇷🎇 pic.twitter.com/XwV7gGfxih

You have to be happy for Croatia. Quite frankly, I wish I was there with them. I’d grab one of those pretty eastern European girls, pick up the finest Croatian booze and sing soccer songs all night long with the supporters.

Shoutout to Croatia, man.
