I've muted the commentary as cannot hear what the hell they are saying.
Day 2 | Hungary vs Switzerland | Spain vs Croatia | Italy vs Albania
- Thread starter SilentWitness
- Start date
Didn't know Cucurella was first choice LB for Spain.
All signs point to a cracking game.
Yamal looks real comfortable out there
He's the 16y/o?
Forcing playing out of the back only invites the pressure a side seeks to overcome. You have to be able to go long and play through pressure.
Only very recently. He’s looked pretty good the last few months of the season. Happy for him to be honest. He’s copped a lot of flak.
Yep.
slim pickings post Alba
That's insane.
I married a Croat from that diaspora and am currently in Granada.
I didn‘t even know he is Spanish… Never thought about his nationality.
You were lucky to get a Slavic eh. Me tooI married a Croat from that diaspora and am currently in Granada.
. Enjoy the tapasBeautiful city. I envy you.I married a Croat from that diaspora and am currently in Granada.
Michael Oliver, of course
No 16 year old should be playing 55-60 games of professional men’s football in a season. One can only speculate as to the long term damage that could do to his body.
This seems wildly irresponsible.
Barca
100,000+ Croats in Berlin apparently.
Barca.
Cubarsi is 17 and already played for Spain too.
Barca have done a phenomenal job bringing through youth products and integrating them into the first team.
Repeating the Pedri mistake.
Croatia now in control.
Croatia starting to play.
There's no question what he was born to do.
I miss our 70% possession
So much IQ in that team
They’ll ruin him like they ruined Fati
It is ace! And it is less than a 90 minute drive so we‘re here quite often.
This is a better match by far compared to the one sided games we have seen so far.
That's an astute observation
Pedri mistake was taking him to the Olympics on top of the Euros.
Gavi too? Or did they manage his minutes better? I know he’s been out of most of this season though.
After a bright start, Spain are there to be got at. That back four is very avaerage.
Pretty even game so far.
Croatia only seems good in the midfield though. Then again…been like that for some time.
Was about to ask if Modric had retired and there he pops up
Not often you see Spain out passed, 112 to 152. Probably going a bit more direct these days.
