    Anyone noticed Russia v Croatia

    Ist match in World Cup, 2 all white teams. Both teams have a racist reputation. But are there any ,hate to refer to a person by the colour of their skin, black footballers who qualify for these teams.

    Didn’t notice a single black fan for either team either Lloyd.

    Says it all I guess.

    I wouldn't say this is racist by the countries, just black immigrants wouldn't have been looking to move to either country. There may be some going to live in Croatia now but it will take years for one make the team. Folk from the Caribbean started coming to Britain late 1940s. Late 70s before a black player made the England team.
    I don't think I have seen Japan in action but I doubt they had any black players either. Iceland? Don't think so.
    Do Jamaica or any of the other Caribbean countries have white players?
