He is the guy that plays for rennes right. He was solid against fener last year

[–] spritskoeken@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Roughly two weeks after the devastating Latvia draw at home, Lazio deliberately conceded a last-minute goal to Sparta Prague so that Beşiktaş wouldn't advance to the UCL RO16. That was even much more traumatising to me. Those soul-crushing moments have been preserved by Siyah Beyaz Arşiv in this link.

[–] CR7_LM10@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I agree, the fact that we are still so dependent on perisic in attack is concerning

[–] spritskoeken@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Demiral used to be a beast. Now he's just a passion merchant. Glad Montella picks the players based on their form and training performance.

8 Balija se gura ispred nasih finih decka iz Splita. Krovinovic >> Modric

[–] laki1986@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Can you really argue that he is a tactical mastermind? All three medals can be attributed to our midfield and penalty shootouts. On the other hand, we have seen some of the worst games and defeats under Dalić.

[–] Johnbergkb@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What a match for İsmail Yüksek bro don't deserve to be in Turkish League have him in PL

[–] Alive-Ad-4164@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Croatia on the ropes

[–] laki1986@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

While it is true that some key players where missing, we have also sucked offensively for a very long time and our coach doesn’t seem to be the guy to change things.

[–] CR7_LM10@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

After the 2018 WC apart from a few games I haven’t really been impressed by him

Despite finishing 3rd in the WC we still played terrible the entire tournament apart from the Canada game

[–] damn_im_so_fly@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If the Perisic "handball" vs France in the 2018 World Cup final was a penalty, then the handball on Calhanoglu should've no doubt been a penalty too.

[–] Charisma1905@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Does not matter

[–] chessshen@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

wow I didn't expect this result and it means so much to us tbh after 2008 they beat us every single game until this groups two wins in a row against very solid Croatia.

This win is really so special

[–] jlarz56@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

From the UEFA Nations League Final to this, damn

[–] FoxerHR@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Anyone watching this has now seen how it is in Croatia. Normally in Osijek the atmosphere is great, you can hear the cheering throughout the city but when the tickets get sold within 8 minutes you get "fans" a.k.a. people who got tickets through their relatives that work with the NT. It is an utter shame that this was done, and it was done because HNS REFUSED to shield a player (Livaja) from people insulting and yelling at him in Rijeka. I live a few streets away from the new stadium and the first time I heard anything from it was when the announcer announced the end of the game. As a Croatian I am deeply ashamed by the "fans" that were at the game. It is one of the most disgusting shows of corruption within the country. Never has there been such a SHIT atmosphere in Osijek whenever the NT is there, for fucks sake the atmosphere for the local club (NK Osijek) was much better than for the NT. I apologise to every neutral who watched this game as this is NOT how it's in Osijek.

How was sutalo?

[–] MertOKTN@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Our sexennial 1-0 win against Croatia, thank you very much.

[–] Critical-Way5817@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Send them to the Bosnian nt please. Thank you

[–] wavesofthought@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Dark horse? (I’m ready to be hurt again)

[–] iiciphonize@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What the hell went wrong man

[–] BeautifulAlert5740@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I can sleep easy tonight knowing we are first place 😊

[–] Lolejimmy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

he's useless without a fast forward in the lineup to make use of his balls but with Arda it may just work

[–] Icemna16@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I still think that İrfan Can should've at least gotten called up but I'm trusting in Montella's decisions for now

[–] blaze_pizza@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ugurcan is a terrifying goalkeeper, lets the ball slip out of his hands, mistimed when to come out, parried a ball that was going out into a corner which almost turned into a penalty, I genuinely thought he would somehow let in that last Modric shot at 90+6

Good win but I have zero confidence in him as goalie

Horrible game in general from Croatia, but first half was unacceptable. No one's running, no one's trying, no one can SHOOT on target...what? Did we even have 2 shots on goal the whole game? Pathetic.

The only semi-solid player was Brekalo, and that's saying something.

[–] Crisbo05_20@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Latvia the dark horse, ends up going to play offs imagine lol.

[–] No_Nothing101@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You lead a sad life.

Enjoy losing to gorica. 🤣

[–] spritskoeken@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When was the last time Croatia lost at home? Surely that must be something rare and exotic.

[–] cib_vk228@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

First ever home defeat in euro qualifiers

[–] matija17k@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Piss poor effort, wonder what Dalić will say

[–] Trbek@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Terrible match by the team. Barišić should really be a third choice LB at best.

Majer had a good match, we played much better when he was subbed in.

Luckily two teams progress from the groups so hopefully we secure a spot.

[–] laki1986@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I would also add Gvardiol and maybe Liva (if we ignore his fuckup)

[–] PositiveDuck@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

We were so shit, deserved loss

What a match İsmail Yüksek had, POTM for sure

[–] Lolejimmy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Kokcu also wasn't playing who's usually the progressive player of the team, him arda and a proper striker and Turkey is back in business 2008 euro style.

[–] laki1986@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I can’t deny that he is the best coach in our history. However, his tactical abilities are just wack and that can’t be denied. Furthermore, we can’t say that a 352 never works as we have never really tried it with this set of players.
