its slav time

LEAFS about to get SLAV'D

They have the tryhardness and macho hubris of Slavs without actually being intimidating to back it up. I live in London and I've never encountered one that was remotely scary, and I'm not even a big guy.

New thread to celebrate the Perfidious Albion's defeat !

Holy shit you can't stop Russia.

You mean the headbutting guy? It's in the last thread, I think.

LEAFLETS GOT LIBERATED

Russians are fucking brutal

Rule Francia* now

If you mean the neck one, here you go.

>Mongol'd
go Canada, it's like hockey, push them

> mfw played college ball and Baylor had a 400 pound tight end and our defense would just run away instead of trying to tackle him

Good thing he played guard most of the time

2 days ago, they bantered us...now...it's our turn...!

why are new world cunts allowed to participate? they don't even have authentic flags

>a leaf

We need a comparing picture.
Before / After Patay.

that russian running away, I'm sure it will look good on his gopro

It's sport tourney for fun. Not authentic re-enactment lad.

notice how the russian team doesn't have any polearms or big lardmonsters, they just use teamwork and technique to down everyone

This looks extremely painful. Is their armor padded?

Ukraine - Poland

He ran away to land a flying kick later, he's a genius

It was really better looking when it was the flag of Québec.

if they're not allowed then Italy, the Ukraine, and Germany shouldn't either, desu

Seeing these qt's in these dresses is giving me twf no gf

Fuck they are cute

now that I think about it there really aren't that many physically strong sandpeople that I know of, even here they got apprehended by 50 yearold dudes with umbrelas and selfie sticks when commiting a knife attack.

>Wish you luck in the next round
>When they're out of the tournament

Really fucking rubbing it in, eh?

why not? these were all medieval nations, but the new world was just indians living in shit huts

meh, I wish we could feel toward them what they feel toward us.

life is empty

swiss mercs supplied european wars for centuries in medieval times

They do, in 21x21 russian team has like 12 people with poleaxes, it's actually their main weapon.

they serve as the guard to the pope tho so they must be doing something right.

I'll find the article for you. give me a minute

yes, that's why all of them are so fat. it's extremely padded.

many are fat but it's a lot of padding.

Historical armor was in fact quite snug and tight fitting. These fat silhouettes aren't what they appear like in scripture and historical effigies or whatever.

>those belarusian armors

literally KHAN'D

WHERE IS MY BRACKET?

Belarussians must be in the big hangover today.

yeah 21x21 is a whole different sport compared to this 5x5 where there is actually room for maneuver

>Morgulis

a German "national" team is completely unrealistic. There wasn't a single war involving medieval Germans or Italians where there weren't multiple German or Italian nations on both sides fighting each other. Also the Ukrainian national identity is pretty new, I'd say probably newer than the American identity. Same thing with the Austrians too, they considered themselves German up until around the 1950s.

What the hell is Israel?

BOOOLAN!111111

Slava ukraine

the selfie stick dude is an hebrew only article tho.

Many Jews in Israel immigrated from Russia

brits no longer have a national identity, where does that leave you?

Based Scotland/Venice and (especially them) Ferrara
