the competition good bye, I am surprised they don't any forward players, no wingers that could take
on the Japanese.

It is a surprise given our history that we have no 1st class forwards or at least serviceable ones.

We had: Suker, Boksic, Vlaovic, Eduardo, Mandzukic, Olic...and we currently have Rebic, who was kicked off the team for insulting the coach. Orsic at least has speed but Dalic doesn't bring him in for some reason.

Kramaric, Petkovic, and Livaja downright suck. Shouldn't sniff the NT.

Missing chances against Croatia is dying a slow death. They know how to handle football exuberance and deal with teams that are up for it :lol: Hard to beat.
They haven't beaten Korea yet guys


Only in video games can South Korea beat Brazil.

Yes it is remotely possible the impossible might not be impossible.

Remotely.

:)

I'm peacefully going into the Brazil game. No rent in my head.

But if South Korea does somehow manage to get the upset...I will be having nightmares of a similar resolve put forth by Japan.

:D

What's a poor pk? Croatia goalie guessed right and made good saves. Good pks can be saved.
Poor IMO is when it’s not in the corner hit with good velocity. But a poor pk can go in if keeper guesses the wrong way, but overtime you will be found it if you consistently take them poorly.
So Neymar’s pk today was poor abi? :thumbs:
