Stay away then?

Can't remember much about Beardsley or Lee but Solano and Robert are two of my all time favourite NUFC players. They were great and entertaining players in the SBR years but their careers were nothing special outside of that little spell and in the end the SBR team won nothing either. Meanwhile HBA has won a countless number of trophies playing for the three biggest teams in France and had a great and entertaining spell here (when allowed). World must be a wondrous place for you if people putting HBA ahead Nobby or Robert in their all time NUFC XI amazes you. Can I please point out that Cacapa won more French league titles Did I put Cacapa in my all time XI?

The moment of the match for me was him injuring himself while stepping on the ball. A goal and a great ball to Kenedy, was decent enough.

geordiedean has stated that Solano was 'more talented', 'far far better player' and that HBA was 'not on the same level'. IMO their achievements outside NUFC clearly show that he's (surprisingly) full of shite. Players also always get better the longer time has passed since they actually played. And I love Nobby and Robert.

The fuck is wrong in being a HBA fan boy, Dinho?

Love it.

He's a good defender but modern LB should be able to control a football or pass to a teammate.

:lol:

He wasn't that bad, basically Andy O'Brien mk2.

Fancy a derisory bid? 1.5 million, perhaps. Minnesota United have a better chance of signing him than Newcastle United Could be a decent WR during the winter.

VAR still can't overturn free kicks.

The fact that Matuidi doesn't get a touch means it can be logically seen as a hand to ball. If Matuidi flicks it to Perisic's hand, would've been obvious ball to hand.

Controversial call but in no way ruining it. Common sense regarding handballs has been thrown out in this tournament, would've been shocked if an Argie ref doesn't give a pen from that.

It's a yes or no between two teams.

Nestor Pitana is the ref in the final and more shockingly, he's only 43 years old!!

Was Corluka really an arsehole? I've never said anything about Corluka. I don't think anyone has other than you? I haven't read every post. You didn't say anything about anybody. Sorry for making an assumption. I got the Corluka comment from here but I'm not going to go back looking for it.

Yup. Starting to think all these foreigners are just thick as fuck. Brexit seems more appealing by the minute. Holy shit man, I can't believe how touchy people are getting because a Croatian player said "it's not coming home" with a smile on his face. Jesus christ Don't be daft man. I wasn't replying to Semtex as such. I just think being offended by an opposition player playing us off with our own 'in-joke' is ludicrous Agree.

England saying 'it's coming home' is lighthearted. People now saying 'it's not coming home' are dead serious.

I don't disagree with this, for what it's worth. They've lacked grace in winning, and that's simply true. But it's not wrong to point out the negative impression there is of England as a whole from the coverage of our press, and no, not just pointing out they're tired, but they rest of it. It's coming home etc. Fair enough, I get it's us just trying to support our team, but it obviously rubs others up the wrong way. I thought the majority of the it's coming home stuff was pretty light hearted tbh, but I just don't see how they could have taken such offence to something so minor. Lots of stuff gets talked about in the run up to the games, for every team. To come out after the game with all this is just petty a bit embarassing imo. I'd probably have rooted for them in the final, but now I want to see them get panned Why are you taking their minor offences so personally? They have basically said they weren't tired, England were hoofing and it's not coming home with a smile on his face. Yet you're close to asking for an invasion.

Was a decent result for Croatia.

I think the key to the result was your midfield three getting visibly tired in the second half which meant more time and space to Croatia's best players. Alli and Lingard playing 120 minutes after being wasted after about 60 minutes is ridiculous. Not sure how much to blame Southgate for that or your squad/player pool as LC and Dier were the only options to replace them. I'm definitely certain that Delph and Welbeck shouldn't have gone to Russia as they were taking valuable spots for no reason at all.
