Merih is done dude is playing in Saudi Arabia at 27 🙈

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

Terrible overall, Gvardiol and Majer only to play on somewhat decent level. Dalić flaws exposed again.

Congrats to Turkey.

[–] Caesar21Octavoian@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

In the second half they were good but unlucky

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

Wasn’t expecting much from us considering our injuries in attack and I’m still surprised how bad we were

When will dalic finally go?

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

Am I reading what I think I'm reading? I know Turkish football specialises in shattering deep runs (the pinnacle being Fenerbahçe breaking Man United's 40-year-long unbeaten streak at Old Trafford in European competitions in 1996), but this is absolutely mental.

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

Seeing Cenk at left back made my eyes bleed once again. We did not pass the midfield once through the left and the coach didnt sub him the whole match. Happy about the win but wtf Montella? We basically attacked with 9 men

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

about right

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

Lessss goooo, congratulations to Turkey from Split! All of Dalmatia was with you tonight!🇭🇷🇹🇷❤️❤️!

Thank you Montella, you are my best friend

You are the clean sheet keeper, you are the legend

[–] mrbrownl0w@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think I lost 5 years watching the second half

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

its time for dark horses to rise again (im ready to go mentally ill)

I will never understand why he left his box.

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

Croatia were surprisingly shit wow

[–] Caesar21Octavoian@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

In the second half they were good but unlucky

[–] folieadeux6@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’s mentally out of it since he didn’t get a move after 2022. Avci might get him back into form.

The last 30 minutes were a nightmare, so happy that it turned out in favour of us. Also, it was Turkey's first ever win against Croatia in history (accounting the Euro 2008 quarter finals as a draw after 120 minutes)

Edit: Oh yes, somehow I forgot 2018 WC Qualifiers

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

At this point Gvardiol is our best attacker

[–] bishey3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Great job from us. Very strong first half. Then we lost the possession in the second half completely but we stood firm. Even got the chances to score the 2nd. Deserved victory!

[–] mrbrownl0w@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kerem is somehow involved in every position but can't finish to save his life lol

I thought Croatia were supposed to be decent? Well played Turkiye

[–] anex44@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Absolute garbage of a performance.

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

Absolutely awful game. But well we lacked good players and outside livaković and 2/3 other players nobody played good. Livaković messed up badly coming out of the box. GG Turkey, hope we play better against Wales.

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

I will never understand why he left his box.

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

Dalić is really going to play the same tactic with any team against any opponent huh.

Gvardiol was epic and also Modrić has all my respects. He realised even in the first half that when our fullbacks overlap with the wingers the wing loses on potency and he adjusted by overlapping the full backs. He just sees everything

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

Not-so-fun-fact: motherfuckers beat us in playoffs to qualify for EURO 2004 actually. We can't even have PTSD because there is no "post" for this stress, they keep traumatising us.

Gallipoli campaign (colorized)

[–] asir100@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I really think we (Turkey) played super well, looking forward to more.

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

This loss is completely on Daliban and his fucking tactical inabilities. Once Modrić retires, he should go with him.

Samet & Abdulkerim > Merih and Caglar. Also props to Montella. The players really wanted to fight for him as opposed to when Kuntz was coach. His tactics were on point too. Ismail Yuksek MOTM.

[–] Caesar21Octavoian@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Merih is done dude is playing in Saudi Arabia at 27 🙈

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

We cant qualify without drama.

Congrats to turkey

[–] HeIIbIazer23@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Off to bocanje, not like i care about this sport...any good picigin tournaments on tv?

[–] rr18114@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That last 35 yard shot from modric sums up his NT career. He singlehandedly ( atleast half of the time) almost got them over the finish line.

He should have been born 5-6 years later.

It is time for Hakan to fuck off from the NT and Kerem shouldn't be starting for the NT either atm

[–] mrbrownl0w@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Kerem is somehow involved in every position but can't finish to save his life lol

[–] joffrey-scott@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ismail Yuksek owned Modric-Brozovic-Kovacic

[–] cheddarcheese111@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I love Croatia

E tako, kad su govnarima prema navijacima i Osjecanima zasluzen poraz, nek se ni ne vracaju u Osijek

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

First ever home defeat in euro qualifiers

[–] CrveniMarboro@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

When you force 8 Bosnians in the NT and replace your real Croatians from Split and celebrate Serbocommunist fans for yelling at him this happens, hope we don't qualify and lose every match!

i didn't hear about this before. who are those players?

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

Best player of the game by far was İsmail Yüksek. I have never seen Modric Brozovic Kovacic be dominated by one man, and he was everywhere.

[–] 50lipa@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Going into this game i looked at Turkey squad... missing three starting center backs in Söyüncü, Demiral and Kabak due to injury, missing midfielders Ucan/Güler, missing winger Cengiz Ünder who is their most dangerous offensive player, full backs, missing their first choice goalkeeper Günok...

They come with a completely different squad and new manager and they fucking played us off the field in the first half, defended well in the second and got away with a win, well deserved!
