World Cup trash talk · Croatian
These are match-day lines an English-speaking fan can say in the opponent's language. The main angle is elimination: go home, pack your bags, your World Cup is over, and see you in four years.

Elimination-first phrases
These lines are intentionally about knockouts, going home, the scoreboard, and tournament exits. That is the moment fans actually reach for the other side's language.

Use these with rival fans who are already joking about the match.
Keep the line about elimination, score, tactics, or the tournament.
Do not turn the joke into nationality, ethnicity, religion, or personal abuse.
go home: idi kući; pack your bags: pakirajte kofere; you are eliminated: ispali ste; your World Cup is over: vaše Svjetsko prvenstvo je gotovo; enjoy the flight home: uživajte u letu kući
Use them as playful match-day banter with rival fans, especially after elimination, a decisive loss, or a scoreboard moment. Keep the joke about football, not identity.
English-speaking fans are most likely to use the opponent's language when a rival team is knocked out, sent home, or running out of tournament time.
