He was crap
Day 18: Croatia vs Brazil | Netherlands vs Argentina (QF 1&2)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
No. Just no.
Argentina and the Netherlands might be hoping Modric gets a booking in the next 30 minutes if Croatia get through. He's pretty much run the show again.
So far Croatia has won just a single game in regular time , and that against Canada 
Greecing their way to the final
Greecing their way to the finalAll jokes aside I think it's more the fact that with extra time they'd be playing like 50 minutes more than usual
think they've probably told them to keep it settled, none of the matches have had big amounts that I can think of.
Croatia 0 shots on target
I want them to go through to see the upset. But don't drag it out to pens to only lose anyway.
Weirdly I'd also bring on Fred in ET for his just sheer energy and pressing ability to win the ball up high.
Watching this feels like a chore.
So Croatia could reach their second consecutive semi without actually winning a match. I admire their tenacity but they really are jammy fecks.
Modric is timeless. He has been nonstop all game it’s amazing to watch!
This Croatian keeper has kept them in it. Brazil should have 3 or 4 on the board. Also criminal that Martinelli not in this.
Definitely the team that comes to mindSo far Croatia has won just a single game in regular time , and that against Canada
Brazil have to win this.
It's the kinda game he'd shank a right footed cross off a defenders face into the top bin
Juranovic from Celtic looks a very good player. No surprise he’s most likely to leave them in January for pastures new.

In this tournament they represent a lot of what I dislike about football
It's ridiculous that he escaped that yellow. They absolutely change the dynamic of the game going into ET.
Why is there so much moaning in here? I think it’s been an enjoyable game. Croatia have slowed the game down and controlled the midfield. It’s been a good tactical battle.
Not every game is going to be a FIFA video game scoreline.

Yes, just yes by quite the distance. Although the same applied to Martial for a few years too and that never worked out. Nothing is certain unfortunately.
Knew this was going to be hard for Brazil. Would not shock me if they lose...
They were lied to, apparently
Pretty sure all our fans care about is risk taking. We should sign ADM or that Adama Traore.
Antony a bit Ashley Cole like in that huddle
Brasil team looks unbalanced. They are overstacked with creative attacking players but lack phusical presence and a clinical no9. Croatian midfield looks more solid. Brasil still the better team but not very convincing today.
Croatia still haven't replaced Mandzukic. If they had some quality up front, they'd be such a different animal. I don't think they're a negative team, but they know it's unlikely they'll score more than a couple in a game so it's why they approach games in a very measured manner.
Brazil seem a bit flaky mentally, should be an interesting ET at least, if not exciting.

I can see them going Tite up.
I don’t know about that.
But, Brazil is still celebrating their first half against Korea. They didn’t really show up today. And, yes, the coach should’ve prepared them better for this game.
At 37 years of age as well. He must be conditioned immaculately.
I would have kept Richarlison. Their top scorer, you cannot take him off unless he is hurt
Not sure why all the hate on Croatia,
There's more than one way to win a knockout football game.
Think Brazil have been poor, Croatia have rather controlled things in the middle without ever really threatening, which given their striking options isn't surprising.

Why do all refs and both captains go through the handshake routine before extra time and then again before penalties? You already did it before the start of the match ffs. So pointless.

Or Portugalizing it? Kramaric is ready to eder the whole place.
Scorer of goal
That is a foul. Why are players getting away with pushing others in the back like that ?
Oliver is such a cnut, how is that not a foul?
Yeah but is a mouthful
What are you all on about? He consistently mishits the ball, that’s all. No one’s making any grand proclamations or hating anyone or being proven right or whatever. Just watch him (and not his YouTube highlights).
Fecking brazilians and their soft fecking feck of a football.
Go feck yourself.
All that talk about favelas and shit and they fall at every single touch.
Feck off

What was the quote? "It is hard to win against Croatia but easy not to lose against them."
That's a foul again. These refs are blind
