Game 39: Croatia vs Portugal

Your midfield is very strong. So if he doesn't get enough game time which I won't be surprised if it's to happen then he could be a wasted talent there. Not to mention, Carlo hasn't showed faith in young players much in the past.
Having said that, I hope he becomes the player everyone expect him to be.

Word is that Carlo explicitly wanted him. Also, I hope'll learn a thing or two from Alonso, Vidal & Thiago.
 
I'd stay wherever you are.
Final destination of my train was Derby. Close call, but think I'd rather take half an hour of this match than end up there.

Will probably regret it, but here's hoping.
 
20 fouls and you have only 1 yellow which wasn't given for stamping on people, it's clear ref favours us. Strinić almost killed Nani, brutal attack, deadly like :lol:

:wenger: It's a clear penalty and it would be the best chance of this boring match and yet you are whining about the ref. Incredible.
 
This is the worst game I have seen since LvG was in charge of United.
 
Worst match of the tournament.

Had some doubts with some Northern Ireland games in the group stage but not anymore. Regret not going out to watch this shite
 
Worst game I've seen in a long time. Fecking shocking.
 
What a despairing match. Like watching two teams led by Van Gaal and Moyes.
 
I don't understand how a football match at this level can be so hopelessly shockingly dull and devoid of any entertainment and quality. Very strange.
 
Cristiano after playing Iceland: "When they don’t try to play and just defend, defend, defend, this in my opinion shows a small mentality and they are not going to do anything in the competition"

Now, Portugal and Croatia delight us with 90' of no shots on target :lol:
 
there's literally no football in these international tournaments. ridiculously bad.
 
Just call the extra time off and get this over in penalties. Painful game.
 
Word is that Carlo explicitly wanted him. Also, I hope'll learn a thing or two from Alonso, Vidal & Thiago.
That's good to hear. I hope he plays regularly, as I said I've become a fan of his party because the abuse he took on here!

I read today, Jose wanted him too and he's very unhappy that we didn't sign him.
 
Fernando Santos has achieved his goal. Making us play like Greece. Making me miss Paulo Bento :lol:
 
This has been so shite. Not really seeing the hype in Sanches can't make a simple pass.
 
Hopefully it ends like a Turkey vs Croatia in 08 worst 119 min ever, then turned out to be the best match at the euros
 
:wenger: It's a clear penalty and it would be the best chance of this boring match and yet you are whining about the ref. Incredible.

If ref gave red card for Gomes stamp on Rakitić then you would play with 10 men, but it's not that big advantage isn't it?
 
From great Spain vs Croatia, Portugal vs Hungary games to this :boring:
 
UEFA should introduce a rule that every time a team doesn't score in 90 mins, all the players are fined a weeks worth of wages and the coach gets a touchline ban.

LVG would have spent his entire career in the stands.
