Re: WC OPPONENTS - MARCH FRIENDLIES
I don't know if this is Croatia's first team. They seem to be struggling.
"Nigeria", Africas only true hope of bringing the World cup home to motherland.

Re: WC OPPONENTS - MARCH FRIENDLIES
They seem to panic, if you run at them with pace, almost 3. They must be pretending.

Peru though plays a very vibrant brand of football, with pace.

Maybe its jet lag. They are second to every 50-50 ball.

Modric, beginning to pull strings.

Re: WC OPPONENTS - MARCH FRIENDLIES
One thing I have learnt so far, they are far from comfortable. When you are in their face. Peru hasn't given them a second.

Why are we making excuses for them? When we were drawing the 6th best team in the world, no one made excuses for us.okidoki wrote:Maybe its jet lag. They are second to every 50-50 ball.
This is Croatia's first team and this is exactly the Croatia i know. They have skillful players in midfielder, but their midfield is slow and will be easily overrun and outfought. You saw the way Poland fought us, physically and were ready to die on the pitch? That is NOT Croatia.

Re: WC OPPONENTS - MARCH FRIENDLIES
They don't look threatening at all. Manduzic, or whatever his name is? Has been very poor.

Please take it easy on me. I haven't seen the team play. Was basing it on expectations, from the things I read on CE.Benedict Iroha wrote:Exactlydanfo driver wrote:Why are we making excuses for them?
