France Beats Croatia 4-2…Again; With Own Goal & Trash Penalty Call

By 151 Comments

Not just did France beat Croatia with another 4-2 result - just as they did in the World Cup Final - but they did it with another own goal and undeserved penalty call. Obviously, not that big of a deal this time around as UEFA Nations League is no World Cup and both sides were without their best players. Here are my notes from the France game: 1. After the … [Read more...] about France Beats Croatia 4-2…Again; With Own Goal & Trash Penalty Call

Portugal Defeats Zero-Intensity Croatia 4-1

By 174 Comments

I'm just going to leave this right here. No need for me to repeat myself. I hate these games. We put out a decent lineup but the players either are told not to play or decide they're not going to play for whatever reason. At that point, better to put out the U21s or HNLers and let them play their hearts out. Croatia have never beat Portugal in … [Read more...] about Portugal Defeats Zero-Intensity Croatia 4-1

2021: The Year Of Mateo Kovačić

By 28 Comments

Mateo Kovačić was just named Chelsea's 'Player of the Season' for 2019-2020. But you know what? That's not good enough for me. Kovačić helped Chelsea get to the FA Cup Final and finish top-4 in England last season - to keep their Champions League membership valid- but that shouldn't be considered a successful season for a club of Chelsea's caliber or deep pockets. So … [Read more...] about 2021: The Year Of Mateo Kovačić
