adobo 52 Posted July 7, 2018 Part of me was still worried that FIFA'd say that the blue on Russia's socks clashes with croatia's socks... which would be ludicrous but wouldn't necessarily surprise me. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, although they’ll probably go with the red socks as opposed to the black ones they were in today. England will be able to (and absolutely should) go white/navy/white. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeremyb 0 Posted July 8, 2018 Croatia home kit is great and so unique but the problem with it is that it clashes with both red and white so when playing countries like Russia, England, Denmark, Croatia must where their 2nd kit. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being the host, they had no competetive matches in the past years (except for the Confed Cup), that's why they're so low on the FIFA rankings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

upperV03 7,591 Posted July 8, 2018 Here are the shirt matchups for the two semifinals: A bit disappointed to see Belgium in red, as that likely means France is going navy/white/navy again. Belgium could also change to their yellow socks, but France seems like the more likely team to change socks since they’ve already done so once in this tournament. I would’ve much rather seen France in traditional navy/white/red and Belgium in yellow/black/yellow, though. As for Croatia/England, I’m guessing Croatia will go black/black/red since the red socks are the first choice and won’t clash with England’s white socks. I’m hoping England can go white/navy/white, but it wouldn’t surprise me if FIFA’s nonsense kit rules force England into wearing all-white, as the navy shorts are somewhat close to Croatia’s black shorts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
upperV03 7,591 Posted July 8, 2018 As I feared, England will be in all-white against Croatia: Won’t be a bad look at all, it’s just stupid that FIFA’s kit rules are so strict that England’s white/navy/white isn’t enough contrast from Croatia’s all-black (or black/black/red). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prince Harry 246 Posted July 8, 2018 Sucks about England in all white. Seems to be bit unlucky based on previous tournaments where they wore white shorts. Wonder if there's a scenario where Croatia gets to wear their home kit again in this tournament. Against France in navy/navy/red it should work. Against Belgium in yellow/black/yellow, maybe not. England didn't get to wear white vs colombia. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CreamSoda 2,223 Posted July 9, 2018 I'm not real up to date with the FIFA rules on kits... Since France is the home team, do they get to wear their traditional kit, Blue, white, red, and Belgium has to find non clashing components, OR do both teams have to work together to create a non clashing combo? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
