So much good in this game (2nd half offense) and so much bad to unpack. This match is on Dalić. Absolutely no reason he needs to be playing Broz in this game. This was not only a game we needed to win, but it was a game we needed to score some goals off the bat. I would have said the same thing if we won 2-1. Whatever. 96': WOW. 2-2. Albania score on the last kick of the … [Read more...] about Cardiac Croatians Can’t Hold Off Albania In 2-2 Draw, Euro Still Alive With Win Over Italy On Monday

Alright, that sucked. It sucked because we were down 3-0 at halftime. It sucked because we were never in the game from the opening whistle. It sucked because we had our chances -- some easy ones too -- but still couldn't convert to save our lives. Jebiga. Like Ted Lasso says, "be a goldfish." Goldfish have a 10-second memory.

Not the start we were looking for. Spain capitalized on all their chances while Croatia went 0/4 on theirs. Croatian defense looked slow in regard to the Spanish attack. Everything that could go wrong did. Jebiga. We move forward to Albania on Wednesday and look for all three points. FINAL: 3-0 Spain. That was truly a Murphy's Law game for Croatia.

PROS: -The Croatian attack looked lively and hungry vs. Portugal. Five goals in two friendlies this week. -Majer and Gvardiol were exceptional moving forward in the 1st half. They were Croatia's best players. This duo can be the extra added attack I have been asking for. You can lock in Gvardiol at left-back the entire tournament. Pep did great with him at City. … [Read more...] about Croatia Defeat Portugal 2-1 In Final Friendly Before Euro 2024
