Lovely. Wish that free kick had gone in mind.

He'll miss again

Fucking wizard

Noppert howler needed today. Can't be dealing with this jobber being competent.

Yeah no more left footers needed for me. A right sided CB with good recovery pace would be an important summer signing, though.

Really? It would be far more odd to me if you got a goal for scoring a pen in a shootout. Then again Germans include the penalties in the scoreline by adding them all onto the final match score, the utter deviants.

Just feel like they were the worse team in both of the last two games and got away with it. At least at in 2018 they probably edged the games they won on pens.

Jammy for me. Respect Croatia but bored of them drawing their way through tournaments. Hope they gou out in the semis.

Loved that goal man. He had a chance to shoot when it first came to him but played the pass, then held off the challenge, then around the keeper and a great finish.

Superb

As good as Croatia are they don’t have a Suker or even a Mandzukic. Basically lack a cutting edge in attack.

Paqueta is an awful selection against this midfield tbh. Bruno needed.

My high score is 22. It's a really cool quiz. But I reaffirm my previous comments.

Similarly appears to include Olympic goals too which adds further confusion. Sorry I'm honestly not bitter at losing.

Probably needs some clarification or standardisation on what it includes. Vivian Woodward's total included England Amateur goals. Which neither the FA nor FIFA would count in the total.

I'm no expert in airline economics or logistics and had written off this idea. But actually one flight a week purely for football tourism seems perfectly reasonable and implementable.

Yeah was gonna say he has been playing 50+ games a season pretty much from 17/18. In two of the most physically intensive leagues around.

This is basically gaslighting at this point. Setting a team up to completely monopolise possession of the ball, including playing without a forward, and not shooting regularly at goal (because it risks losing the ball and thus being countered upon) is to the intent of suffocation and to prevent any natural cut and thrust of a football match breaking out. It is fundamentally a defensive tactic by its very design. It has been the modus operandi ever since that loss to Switzerland in 2010. Spain's games are always the worst at a tournament for this reason, and the other side is always blamed for it entirely for some reason.

Saiss plays in Turkey now, like

Sommer has been awful too, man. This is bizarrely poor.

Cba with Portugal winning it and Ronaldo getting a medal for doing nowt.

Tbf I'd never seen the bloke play, I judged purely on his passport and position.

Don't you work for ITV?

There's got to be something with this Swiss performance, mind. Some of the passing has been unbelievable.

Reckon this is worse than Korea's display. There's no excuse to be this open.
