Idiots On The Field Disrupt World Cup Final; Pussy Riot Claims Responsibility

Kylian Mbappé had just made a great run. Danijel Subašić saved it. The Croatian team went for a counterattack and… suddenly, there were idiots on the field.

Four people ran onto the field in the 52nd minute of the World Cup final between France and Croatia. They appeared to be wearing military or police uniforms, and were eventually led off the field by security.

A quartet of idiots on the field at the World Cup final! The story gets better: The Russian protest punk rock band Pussy Riot claimed responsibility for the four pitch invaders.

A quick machine translation of the band’s demands show they’re calling for the release of all political prisoners, the end of political arrests and the beginning of an open political process. They certainly got people’s attention.
