SKODEN!
This is hilarious:
Non-Indigenous residents of Ontario City terrified after SKODEN message appears on water tower
A giant spray-painted message that simply reads SKODEN has appeared on a water tower in Sudbury, Ont., leaving non-Indigenous residents terrified.
“I just know those Indigenouses [sic] are behind this,” said Peter Model, who glared suspiciously at the message from his front yard. “If you ask me, it means they are planning some sort of uprising.”
In another part of the city, Joan Chamber echoed those fears.
“Bunch of Native people were laughing their heads off and shouting ‘stoodis’ when they saw it,” Chamber said. “I don’t understand it but it’s scary and it just sounds offensive.”
A spokesperson from Ontario police urged residents to be calm and said the force has requested extra resources from the province for what is estimated to be the largest investigation in the city’s history.

So one of my favorite Author, Frank, had to explain what Skoden and Stoodis meant to some folks. He is the author of the book Grey Eyes. A good read by the way.
“How do I explain...so, if you are going to get into a fight on the Rez, it’s usually because you have been “talking shit”, or someone has been “talking shit” about you. Either way, the victim of the shit talking (the accuser) would confront the shit talker (the accused, who is innocent until proven guilty) and ask something like “I heard yer talking’ shit about me?” The accused could deny the allegations by saying “not even, boi.” in which case the accuser must provide evidence, usually in the form of eye witness accounts. Witnesses in these cases have more credibility the closer they are related to the accuser (a friend is less credible than a cousin, but a sibling or parent is more credible than a cousin). Conversely, the accused could accept the charges by saying “So? Whatcha gonna do about it anywayz?” in an aggressive manner. In any event, if the charges are accepted or plausible deniability cannot be established, the situation can be escalated to a physical confrontation by either party by stating “Skoden” which roughly translates to “Let’s go, then” which is widely regarded as a challenge to engage in fisticuffs (like dropping your gloves in hockey). The party that is challenged to a pugilistic competition may accept by saying “Stoodis” which roughly translates to “Let’s do this”. Pugilism ensues, usually monitored by cousins of either party for fairness, Marquis of Queensbury rules preferred. Once a winner can be declared by either side, the matter is usually considered resolved. In the rare event when a winner is not clearly established, cousins of both parties can either match up to resolve on behalf of the family or they can pull their respective family members out and state “okden” which roughly translates to “okay then”.

The score flattered France because Croatia really did dominate the game, they just couldn't get their shots to go in.
