At this point you’ve been to the semis enough that statically, you’re probably due to win one

Haha from your mouth to God's ears ?

Country of 4 million too. Like a district of Rio making the semis three times in five tries.

It's mind-blowing still for us. 3 semifinals in last 7 World Cups. 

Man, the welcome we had to our heroes after last World Cup

Imagine what would happen if we miraculously win the WC...

Flip is Brazilian if you didn't know. He's not just hating on Croatia for no reason, just hurting I'd imagine. 

 

Horrible feeling we'll feel the same this time tomorrow

Hehe fair enough. It was painful for him so give him a pass on that one.

Hope he supports us v Argentina

Croatia can fuck off. Devastated. Brazil v Argentina in a semifinal would’ve been a classic.

I think it's quite unfair comment. Ofc for the neutral would be fantastic Arg-Bra. But Croatia for such a small country to repeat the feat of reaching semi final in a row is not only admirable but inspiring for all other smaller football teams around the world that they can achieve impossible.

I think Argentina v Croatia will be amazing game on Tuesday and who knows maybe we send Messi crying home as well and beat the odds again 

Definitely Neymar is helping us in midfield. Although I think we still are nervous of devastating potential counter attack and we really miss Mandžukić type of striker here

Does anyone know the name of the song when players are getting out at the beginning of the match?

Sign Gvardiol and that's CB covered for the next 10 years. 

Gvardiol is only 20 and the guy has been playing for years at top level at Dinamo Zagreb and RB Leipzig. Insane. Kind of blessed to have this type of defender in Croatian team, although we lack proper number 9

Haha this is brilliant.

Another video in the comment section ?

Kind of concerned about Canada game. They look promising and very energetic while Croatia lethargic. We always start the tournament slow for some reason, especially if we are favourite to beat someone

Croatia entered the game good as Morocco was expected to be fired up

Hope we don't sell him.

However which other player come to your mind that would best fit in Caseimiro shoes in Real Madrid?

Fuck sake. Was hoping for extra time. 2-1 Leicester - it will probably mean that they have Europe on their mind when they play Everton twice as well (not that I'm bothered about that from a Newcastle perspective, just general).

 

Plus, while maybe not the same now because we could genuinely be going for cups in the coming years, whereas 7 months ago it was so bleak, but it would still be annoying if Leicester won yet another recent trophy, their 5th in the PL era, while we are still waiting for one for more than 50 years.

 

I think Leicester will be motivated to stay competitive for Europe if they go through so it's actually worse for Everton.

Also why it would by annoying if Leicester would win 5th trophy. I would be very happy if it's someone else out of classic top 6 sides and it also gives a light to other medium clubs to follow that they can achieve anything with proper club management.

Modric’s English is v. good considering he only lived here for 4 years a decade ago. Contrast that to Bale or Aguero. 
 

He’s still a 120 minute player. He could go on at the highest level for another 4 years if he wants. 

Yh and he also speaks fluent Spanish!

Willock seems striped of confidence

Anti-vaxxers already going wild because Lindelof appeared to be having heart palpitations.

 

Has it actually been established whether there has been a spike in athletes suffering heart problems this year? Anecdotally it does feel as though there are more reports of it.

Also in the crowd those few now incidents with heart attacks. Interesting to see the stats.

Is it just me who thinks Watford actually have a decent amount about them and might be OK? Sarr and Dennis are 2 of the best attackers in the lower half IMO. Granted they need to sort their defence out but by all accounts they've deserved a lot more than what they've got from recent games.

 

Clearly, that's from an objective perspective.

 

 

 

I agree with you and with those glimpses of Watford capabilities against ManU and Everton, they have a feel to be much better than what the table shows and Brentford stealing a win isn't ideal in my opinion. The draw would have been perfect. It would put Brentford +8 from us with one game more played and could easily be drawn back into the relegation fight as they don't seem to play good football. 

Expect them to start having worse performances as the season is heading to its 2nd half.

Marko suggested a Croatian venue for the next one, like. ?? 

Haha, I confirm. Next year you will have whites, blacks, blues and Croats ?

@Yorkieit was a pleasure today and thank you for welcoming us! Hope next year in Zagreb!

This is the black kit, right? 

 

?? I'm for it!

Confirming that I'm coming from Croatia. Also one of my best mates will visit Newcastle with me so if there is any space for one more player you can add +1

What nation has brought the most to football? Not just winners, but cumulatively historically, culturally, socially, in terms of its supporters and having heroes and legends consistently emerging through time, everything. 

 

Italy mebs? 

Could include Yugoslavia as it has a rich history of great players and cultural and social impact on all countries that formed Yugoslavia. Although here I can speak for Croatia as football had an immense impact on the country especially after the war in 90s and Croatian bronze medal at World Cup 1998 just after the war.

As I was little at that time, that World Cup is ingrained in my memory and those generations who watched our heroes all went into football and that manifested in a great generation of our national team which won the silver medal in WC 2018.

Maybe 2038 we get the gold medal?

Him and Alioski could start a fight in an empty room

 so true

Arnautovic said many bad words to some Macedonian player as he also speaks language of that region lol

Good luck to you guys! I hope it's going to be some good match even though surprising to see the lineup that Southgate has selected.
