Alright boys and girls, it’s time to put in your predictions for the game tomorrow. As qualifying goes on, we will see which CSR reader really knows their stuff by keeping tabs on everybody’s picks. By the end of qualifying, whoever has the best tally between all the Croatian matches will receive a free shirt from CSR, and I promise you will love the ones we are designing right now.
If enough people get into it, we can start a little scoreboard on the site. Having a sweet free shirt is nice, but nothing is as good as having the ‘know’ above the rest of your friends and being able to talk a little trash along the way.
So let “FANTASY CROATIANSOCCERREPORT.COM PICK’EM” BEGIN!!!
Here’s my picks:
CROATIA 2-0 KAZAKHSTAN
Srna and Rakitić score the 2 goals for the ‘Vatreni’.
Gentlemen,
Lets not get carried away here. Croatia beat a weak Khazakhstan at home, and England beat a weak Andorra. Remember, Capello is Italian. When was the last time Italy scored 3+ goals? Italy score two goals and kick the ball in a circle the rest of the game. To say Capello is all hype is a bit premature.
Also, England is waiting for the Croatia game. The last thing they want is an injury against Andorra.
As much as England has struggled, they will be ready in Zagreb. However, I still expect a hard fought 2-1 victory for the vatreni.
Nothing happened today. Croatia took care of business as expected. England took care of business as expected. Ukraine and Belarus are competing for third as expected.
We will know on Wednesday who will be called “daddy” in our group.
CRO 3-0 KAZ
Kovač N.
Modrić L.
Petrić M.
Got my tips right 😀 just not the scorers!
Capello is all hype…they draw with czech republic(without rosicky) and only beat Andorra 2-0! I remember when we played Andorra in Euro qualifying…they could hardly keep control of the ball.
They may prove me wrong and beat us in Zagreb but I really dont see that happening.
3-0! N.Kovac, Modric & Petric.
Got my prediction wrong, but I couldn't care less.
Shocked to see England only got a 2-0 victory out of Andorra with the score goal-less at half time. Doesn't look like much has changed since McClaren!
I belive we’re gonna win big today… 3-0!!! WOOOT WOOT
CROATIA 2-0 KAZAKHSTAN
N.Kovac, Modric
I’d have to agree with that prediction, 2-0.
The vatreni tend to be slow starters but I just don’t see Kazakhstan get past our defence at home.
Goals have been coming from the midfield lately so we can expect either Rakitic or Srna to be on the scoresheet. On recent international form I’ll go with Rakitic.
And I’ll also go with a surprise Olic goal who has had a good start to the Bundesliga and will be keen to make amends of some of the missed opportunities during the Euros.
So final prediction 2-0 to Croatia (Rakitic,Olic)
Ill go out and say
5-0
Kalinic, Srnax2, Modric, Olic and Rakitic
Croatia 3-0 Kazakhstan
Rakitic, Klasnic and Srna
I am going with 2-0 for Croatia as well, Rakitic and Klasnic.
1-0 Croatia
Olic 59th minute. Croatia dominates first half but has trouble finding the net.
Croatia doesnt take this game seriously, awaiting clash with England.
Obviously, I hope for a 3 or 4 nil victory, just dont see it happening.
Yes, Klasnic will be starting instead of Petric, and 1 goal should be fine from Killer, but 4-1?…a bit too high…you know Bilic likes to play defensive minded and keep the score low and the game in hand.
Haha good stuff! Who shall be the top predictor?
Croatia 4-1 Kazakhstan
Klasnic x 2
Srna
Modric
