TEAM performance always win games. Croatia showed us how it is done. They defended well as a team, their keeper is good too and they took very good penalties.

Tite had Firmino and Joelinton at home and he was taking Fred and Pedro to world cup
Its a head scratcher for me why he left Joelington and Firmino at home...

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Favourite team is out, only thing now is watching the midfield maestro Luka Modric for as long as possible do his masterful craft. He makes the right decision 97% of the time, he needs to start a football school for decision making. He is OGA.

I am still hoping that one of these days some of our brothers on and off the field will suddenly realize that just because the other team has better players or stars does not mean that you should automatically surrender physically, emotionally, or mentally.
I have always loved teams from that part of the world. Congratulations to our CE brother Mate and Croatia. One down, Argentina is next. This WC has been sweet without Naija. Let's go ATLAS LIONS!!

please young man Brasil is not Uganda.
if anyone should be ridiculed it should be Neymar, you don't have to go in order anymore he should have stepped up and taken the fourth.
Saints baby we did it

I hope the English will follow the path of Brazil and watch the rest of the competition on their big screen TV after tomorrow.

Brazil have looked very arrogant throughout the tournament, they disrespected the South Koreans with useless showboatings and annoying dances even when they were 4 goals up, Tite also joined in the disrespect by doing the pigeon dance with the players at some point just to spite the opponents...I'm glad Croatia humbled them, Neymar will retire without a world cup.

Then they play as a TEAM!
Leadership is also missing for the SE.
They also have a GOOD goalkeeper.

Yes they win and get to the later stages but the football Croatia plays is really not what we want to watch on the regular do we?green4life wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 6:55 pmThey play within themselves and play to their strengths while doing everything necessary to mitigate their weaknesses.SylverEagles wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 6:53 pm We need to go study what the Croatians are doing especially at the World Cup.

I know I will take it for the Super Eagles myself but it is just too pragmatic.

Nothing to study. They have typical Balkan mentality -- strong, iron, ready to die for their desire! Hardworkers! fighters! They are winners.SylverEagles wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 6:53 pm We need to go study what the Croatians are doing especially at the World Cup. It is like they always get to the Semi-finals!
Think about your super eagles, do you see any one of them made of iron? ready to die for what they want? Hardworkers? fighters? abeg no make me laugh.

Every side is carrying a passenger of some sort. Ask yourself, what on Earth was Fred, brought on to shore things up, doing in the final third trying to be Garrincha, absolute madness.

Classic mismanagement of a game that they had otherwise won. Croatia couldn't create anything. Keep it compact at the back and be composed in possession when you get the ball and win little fouls, set pieces, etc to wind down the clock. Croatia had no threat sufficient to trouble Brazil.

That was our man Rohr's mentality.
