By Killer7 Go To PostModric deserves the baloon if they win the world cup. Best mid in the worldI'd give it to him even if they don't.
By NinjaFridge Go To PostFrustrated and Underdogs, name a better duoFrance would be underdogs if Mbappe played for R. Madrid.
By Scum Go To PostI'd give it to him even if they don't.Think it should. Been vital for both club and country. However you know its gonna be Ron again Scum
France would be underdogs if Mbappe played for R. Madrid.
By Lunatic Go To PostNo need to hide him, he is already invisible to Uncle Flo.Its gonna be Hazard that slides into Ronaldo's spot isnt it.

By Gurthang Go To PostFootballing gods pls
Griezmann should never be allowed to win a world cup. He is already insufferable as he is.

Someone shoot that guy
By Cleff Go To PostThought England were the better side in the first half. Croatia the better team overall but Vrsaljko being quite harsh here.Does Vrsaljko realise his team are a bunch of fouling twats who have the most yellow cards in the World Cup, they fouled England 23 times and if wasn't for another shit show from an incompetent referee then it would have been over 30 fouls with half their team booked. They were able to 'press' England because they eventually wore them down through late tackles, barging & kicking lumps out of players.
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
I fell asleep around 4am this game was so boring.
This England defeat was worth it for the Bungie 'ugly Mandz" posts alone.
Like he gives a fuck. Lads gonna be playing in another final.
Juve guaranteed winner of the World Cup.

Sense of disappointment is setting in now.
Who's to say when we'll get another chance like that. Could be decades.
It was a big negative, and now I need two positives. Announce Fekir and Oblak.

Eh, France would have beaten us in the final anyway, we have no answers to the likes of Pogba, Kante, let alone Matuidi and Mbappe and that cunt Greasemann.
The gap in raw talent would be too much, think youre disappointed now, imagine losing a world cup final to the French

The new ref guideline of not giving the amount of yellow and red cards as usual, definitely benefitted Croatia. Zero doubts about that.
None the less one has to also say: England are bang average. Southgate got the best out of them by drilling setpieces.
Still wanted them to win because this croatian team and their federation need to be dissolved and rebuild free from any connection to corrupt and heinous fellows like Mamic.

I'd have taken it. The way we went out last night leaves me feeling like we could easily have gone further.
That sense of 'what if' after a loss plays on my mind much more than the knowledge that we've come up against a better team and been outclassed.

Don't worry, France will dunk on them whilst in second gear. England had more opportunities against the croatian defence than I imagined they would get.
I submit that Kane, not Sterling should have been subbed on, the pace of Vardy and Welbeck would have been more devastating. But Gareth elected to keep the great white hope poster boy Kane who looked gassed at the 40 minute mark.

For all the "easy draw" talk, England played with a small team mentality given that all their goals in KOs where from set pieces. Everyone was going on about Croatia being knackered and that England would only get better as the minutes counted down when it was the exact opposite that happened, goes to show that Experience beats out Energy. England were left pumping like a rabbit while Croatia knew just when to hit the g-spot.

We didn't play for set pieces, we just happen to be great at them all of a sudden and kept coming up against teams who decided to haul our players down in the box. It's not like we weren't trying to create chances from open play.
Unfortunately the three players we were relying on to really make stuff happen were all movement, no spark.
Modric, rakitic, mandzu, perisic etc
thats more big game experience than the entire england squad combined
thats what Croatia over the line

Felt like we saw two sides of the same coin of defensive errors on the pitch in Lovren and Stones/Walker
Lovren is always going to sprint to and try smashing clear a ball he thinks he can get to whether it makes sense or not, where both goals we conceded were due to players only switching on to the danger when we were already fucked.
The winner in particular is a kick in the bollocks. Even after walker sliced it into the air, it didn't look dangerous in the slightest. The only way for that to become a goal was for the header to go exactly where it went, and for Stones to freeze.

It was a chance to inflict some damage but instead the team went for a time wasting maneuver that should only be done in the last few minutes of a match.
By Diego! Go To PostSpurs had 9 players playing in the semis. 8 of them got knocked out.
They cant even win a world cup like West Ham did
pathetic club innit
It's been fun tbh and a pleasant distraction from the off-season. If you're angry, just remember that international football as a whole is extremely mediocre.

this all hurts even more knowing we've got another season (half season?) of Mou-ball to look forward to

Looking like half at present.

Fucking hell. He's not even the best defender in Croatia's back two. Vida's at least twice as good as him.

By Laboured Go To PostThis is an important point I feel.
Yep, I have posted several times already the Serie A stats that show diving and cards were down this year in Serie A.
I love VAR.
