Croatia Starting XI vs. Peru: Subašić; Strinić, Vida, Ćorluka, Vrsaljko; Brozović, Rakitić; Perišić, Modrić, Mandžukić; Kalinić
Alright, alright. The headline is a bit dramatic but remember that Croatia brought over the ‘A’ squad for the Peru and Mexico matches and all of the players are in the thick of their club seasons. Champions League quarterfinals begin next week so if you think Modrić, Rakitić or Mandžukić are going to give you 100%; you are mistaken.
Don’t worry about the result. These guys got to hang out in Miami for a week when Europe is still freezing over. As long as there were no injuries and the team got to build on their camaraderie, that’s all you can ask for.
I just told a Croatian friend who was upset via text, “You will not remember this Peru friendly in June.”
The only thing that concerned me was Ćorluka’s return. His exchange with Strinić which led to Peru’s first goal in the first half was God awful. Ćorluka is supposed to be Lovren’s replacement, who didn’t make the trip due to injury.
Kramarić looked hungry tonight, but he has been hungry this entire year for Hoffenheim.
We will see what the boys put together for Mexico on Tuesday.
See y’all in Dallas!
Now Kolinda the commie is inviting Putin to Zagreb.
Seeing the team taking photos with the Serbian ace kind of summarizes everything that is wrong with our country.
Ok, let’s be civil, and some might say to not mix politics with sport, however the way I see it is there no need to post it proudly. They forget they are role models to all Croats around the world, disrespectful to all our branitelji and all victims of Serbian aggression.
You can tie this back to the country, from people inviting the Serbian PM to Zagreb, and Croats listening to Serbian folk like a religion… All sramota and all things wrong with the govno in HR.
All in that, I represent the repka based on Hrvatska being represented, though my opinion is that some individuals in that team are pure shit hrvati and don’t give a fk about the grb.
Other than that, not much to analyze from the friendly 🙂
ZDS
No they don’t
You don’t have to help the homeless dude on the street cause u have to u do it from love
Maybe the fans were booing them? Sounds like the effort wasn’t there could be a hundred reasons but I should show some respect for the fans. This ain’t Real Madrid fan boys this is the checkers show some respect to your brothers and sisters. They can’t be that out of touch. These are working class folks wanting to watch Croatians play cause of love for the country. Be a pro act like one u are blessed don’t be a dick. It sucks Peru beat u down be a man and own it. Show ure fans the love cause there ain’t no game without them
I didn’t watch the game obviously it was a good thing
Shredder boy was right they went for American vacation said in your dads broken accent
Lots of time still
I’ll leave the tactics to u guys but there has to be a balance with youth vigor and veteran experience
That Spain game maybe Spain didn’t play their A game
But our kids played with a chip on their shoulder That’s what we need
Look at the Vegas golden knights in hockey. Ya they had a good expansion draft but they basically played like discarded garbage from other teams and came together and did the u the unthinkable this year
They played over their capabilities cause of effort and pride
We have nuff talent They are Just complacent
Tennis is gay. Just saying.
Or how about all the people on social media complaining about it. News flash people, these players don’t owe you anything.
^ ^
Figures…
If there were any leaders on this team they would’ve told the team to that.
Srna???? Isn’t he suspended for drugs?
How about the players refusing to go by the fans and at least thank them for showing up.
Team better get their gears in tact! Bring Srna back for one more run at it. He can be a good sub and teacher for so many. The guy played with heart!
Modric, Mandzukic, Subasic, Perisic, Brozovic and Kalinic have left the United States. Now, the young guys have an opportunity to prove themselves.
. Modric, Mandzukic, Subasic, Perisic, Brozovic and Kalinic have left the US. This now leaves the young guys an opportunity.
Lovren has the perfect physical traits to be the defender we desperately need…but he doesn’t have the brain. He’s proven (time and time again) that he doesn’t have what it takes to play in high pressure games. I would only play him against Nigeria, but he will screw up against Argentina and Iceland for sure.
Besides, we have plenty of young and hungry defenders in Caleta-Car, Benkovic, and quite possibly Jedvaj who (if given the chance) would probably do much better than any of Corluka, Strinic, and Lovren.
Caleta Car and Benkovic will likely get transferred to a Serie A, EPL, or Bundesliga club this summer, which will already put them above Corluka or Strinic already. Lovren will probably be loaned out or sold to some bottom feeder club in EPL or some other league at the season’s end, so his ‘Liverpool’ credentials don’t mean anything to me right now. He only starts for them because they have noone else, and the need to sell him this summer.
Not sure why we have to wait so long to make a change on our National Team. We always tend to wait until a foreign club team values one of our younger players enough to buy them, before we decide to start them over one of our veteran players on the NT.
I love how overnight Lovren has gone from everyone’s most hated player to a must start
Shredding = being on croatiantrolls.com while on tpilet going kaka
The truth tells the truth he hears
Finished up a mean day of shredding. Wind kicked up
Now headed to fogo de cao for dinner tonight to lead up on some red meat. Recoup for tomorrow
Ziva was right, we didnt care
I just watched the replay of the game….
Croatia’s first touch of the game Vida almost gives a goal away within the first minute. A few seconds later Rakitic can’t control the ball and it bounces off his leg. These first two touches sums up the game for Croatia, they were mentally not focused.
People claim strinic was bad, he was literally the best player until peru scored the first goal. Strinic could have done better but Corlukas pass to him was awful, not only that when Carrilo was gifted that ball, i shit you not Vida started running away from him and gave him a shit load of space to easily wind up for the shot. Despite everyone claiming strinic sucks, he is our best option left back and overall had a good game (if you don’t believe me then actually watch the entire game impartially).
Vida played like shit, Corluka looked like he just got out of his wheel chair, didn’t even try to sprint back for the second goal. Vrsaljko could have played better.
First 20 mins of the game Modric was non existent in support in the midfield and lost the ball 8 times out of 10. But the last 15 mins of the game he started to pick it up, but where was all that intensity throughout the game?? modric is not as impressive as he is for real madrid.
Perisic was absolute shit, rakitic had his usual game.
Mandzukic didn’t get a single touch on the ball the entire first half, are the coaches mentally retarded? why do they keep playing a big slow 31 year old as winger when you have pjaca rebic and others. absolutely insane. The Mandzu and Vrsaljajko paring on the right flank is aids. if we are to play mandzukic it should be only as forward, and kramaric is better than him which makes Mandzukics’s place on the bench.
Some people cannot watch the game objectively, they have predetermined feelings towards a player that impact their ability to comprehensively analyze the match.
Its hard to take a solid conclusion from this game as the croats obviously didn’t take the match seriously, but it is a fairly decent indicator.
Finishing second to Iceland was a wake up call. Mexico smashed them 3-0.
This game simply revealed soccer at the highest level in 2018 is played with pace. movement, quick passes, pressing, high pace.
We have too many slow players. We need to inject attacking players with pace. Kramaric, Perisic, Pjaca, (as long is he is getting minutes pre WC) Kovacic, Rebic etc…
Our victory over spain in the euro was do to pace and movement.
Rakitic and Modric are succesfull at their clubs because the pace of players around them.I realize they play on the best teams in the world but the common denominator is movement. If we try slow half court offence vs dynamic teams we will lose.
I like Vida and Corluka but they are so slow. Lovren is playing at a higher level than both of them. I know Lovren can make bone head mistakes but he is also capable of putting in some decent shifts.
We truly have no left back but at least Strinic has pace. Sime has pace as well.
Dalic has to actually apply tactics to this team.The team must buy into it. If we believe we will “out skill” teams we will get pounded.
didn’t event watch the second half
Bolivia could be tough too
I think if Croatia had played in the South American world cup qualifiers, probably seventh would be there must likely outcome. Unless Zagreb was suddenly moved to 15000 feet.
But i would likely see us behind
Brazil
Argentina
Uruguay
Peru
Columbia
Chile
And then we’d be in a dog fight with Paraguay and Ecuador for today 7-9 corridor
Mexico twice, if you group Central/Latin American with the South Americans.
They all play in the same leagues anyway, so it’s all a similar style.
Hrvatska has trouble with South American sides. What I can remember loss to Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina, Peru. Any others? South Americans have skill, pace and determination for futbol.
Good wake up call. Hrvatska is in a neck to neck race with Nigeria and Iceland for 2nd place. I bet the young guys would have put in more effort.
At least the Hrvati tennis players in Miami taking it seriously, good to see, Cilic already through and Coric now through in three sets
Hrvati on the rise in tennis 😀
Coric in a bit of a dogfight 3-3 in the third atm
This loss has been a MAJOR wake up call! Kinda like when your baba used to splash cold water in your face to get you outta bed and in the Polje to do work.
Better that it happened now then when we play Nigeria!
Also, we seem to struggle against Latino sides. So that’s why it’s good we organized 3 friendlies with Latino teams, to see where we are at.
‘Cause in each of the World Cups, we’ve had latino team(s) in our group and have lost EVERY time. Hopefully the losing streak friggin’ ends this summer, ’cause I’m tired of it!!!
And Pjaca looked so much better out on the wing than Mandzukic, and Kramaric in the little time he had on the pitch was so much more threatening than Kalinic.
We’ll those two veterans have been sent home, which insures we won’t see Mandzukic on the wing, and Kalinic up top.
Dalić picked the wrong starting eleven, but he picked the correct substitutes.
If there is any positive from this game, it’s knowing that (at the very least) he is able to see his mistakes and make the right subs.
However, I cannot for the life of me understand why we always seem to want to have both Kalinić and Mandžukić start. Neither player gels well with our midfielders, and both need to be the focal point on offence.
Meanwhile, we have the PERFECT striker for us in Kramarić sitting on the bench.
Kramarić starting against Ukraine is the sole reason we are in the World Cup, and we keep rewarding him by putting him on the bench. The fact that Dalić cannot see this (or that he has some stupid loyalty to veteran players) concerns me.
Also, Kovačić impressed me. He may be worth starting after all. Maybe the Modrić/Rakitić/Kovačić trifecta CAN work.
Strinić needs to hit the bench. Not sure what the solution is at the back. Hopefully Ćorluka is just rusty from the year long injury. I wouldn’t bench Ćorluka just yet, but the Strinić experiment needs to end.
Perišić and Pjaca need to start on the wings. We should call up and try Vlašić and Halilović as bench relief (and never play Brozović or Mandžo on the wing again). Our attack on the right side is always so weak, except for the odd time Vrsaljko takes it all the way up and crosses it himself… But we can’t rely on him being the only offensive threat on our right wing (our right sided midfielder/winger needs to be capable of making runs and sending in crosses too).
I’d like to see what Kramarić, Perišić, Pjaca can do together with Modrić, Rakitić and Kovačić behind them. Lots of speed, power and technical ability in that group.
@Horvat
I agree
@Soul Champ
We definitely need some pace and energy in the front.
The Serie A contingent of this squad is too slow.
Perisic is in a spot of bad form, hopefully he gets his mojo back.
@Horvat-agreed on all points. Except our need for Lovren when Mitrovic has already performed- but yes, Lovren better than old/injured Corluka as of now. I am also not worried about Vida’s form.
Good thing Russia does not lend itself well to prancing around town. Our guys need to vacation on their own time. Their mentality needs to change. We need to act like former Communists on a mission to get out of communism.
I hope Dalic started Kalinic because Kramaric was still weak from the stomach flu. Who in their right mind would start him over Kramaric right now?
Mandukic is absolutely useless on the wings! How many crosees or shots on goal has he had in his entire career? Sure, he works hard and defends well, however, the guy is not a winger. Rebic, Pjaca and even Halilovic are all much better than him in that position. I see him strictly as a backup to Kramaric up top.
Corluka has lost two steps. I think he might be done. Right now, I would be happy to have even Lovren over him.
Sadly, Vida, Strinic and Jedvaj are not in form because they have lost their starting spots for their club teams. If they don’t get in form by June, we are in big trouble!
The question is, will Dalic pick up on and address these problems, or will he be another Kovac and learn the hard way in Russia.
On a positive note, I really like Rakitic as a DM and Modric behind the lone striker. Kovacic needs to pair up with Rakitic. He’s doing very well in Madrid.
I don’t care what anyone says, Halilovic needs to be on the bench. Watch any of his hilights. Sure, he had a lot of growing to do, but the kid has talent. He could become very good one day.
Truth Troll prediction – could be a win, could be a draw, or could be a loss. Brilliant.
Go back to flying your kite little boy
I’m burning some time right now waiting for the wind to pick up. I’m inky bright my smaller kite so need a couple more mpha to get out there
No doubt peru was better. I watched the game live but I’m guessing if you listened to commentators they probably raved about the big names of Croatia like mandzukic and rakitic , without the acknowledgement that these guys are passed their prime. And passed their prime big names and not better than in their prime no names
It’s not inconceivable Croatia goes on an 0-6 run here to Peru, Mexico, Brazil, Nigeria, Iceland, and Argentina
I haven’t rub my models but my guess 10 percent chance. My modal outcome would probably be 1 won, 1 tie, 4 losses
I think they gave 100%. I think they put effort. I don’t think CL. or south beach has anything to do with it. I think we suck against high pressure defense and lack any true goal scoring players. No need to make excuses. Peru was better than us.
Eat a Dick Truth Troll… or shred a D as you call it
Might need to consider that peru’s roster pretty much play in either domestic league or other south/central american league. theyre not getting paid the big bucks and are likely to show European scouts they are worth the big bucks, hence the all out effort.
One more note…i think corluka might be done. Back line just too slow with him there must likely. Probably just gotta put in lovren and take your chances. They probably won’t as Croatia will be too sensitive to their veteran players as always and play them beyond their usefulness
@faux CRO
Di si brate ?!
Halilovic was playing great before ankle surgery and now he is back to starting.
Him and Pjaca are the answers.
@ Svima
Mexico is going to get it with the young Hrvati looking to earn minutes.
Dalić had to play the scrubs first match to send them home early.
He gets a pass last night.
Tuesday he better come correct.
Well guys, what can i say other than looks like i was right again
Let’s recap:
I was treated with some harsh words even i said it looked like the team was using this as a Miami vacation and lacked focus. Sure seemed like the case
Ive also been championing me first kramaric starting and denoting mandzukic….hmmmm…. Seemed right on that one too
I also think they are going to need to start pee-ass-a to bring some speed that there was none of
Also been a huge critic of bozo bic and i think we saw that again
Back to shredding
Rakitic is supposed to play. We don’t need any of them, let Charlie work on there form and let’s play 3 at the back because Strinic males to many mistakes
I sort of wrote up an editorial
BTW Kalinic, Mandzukic, Perisic, Brozovic, Rakitic, and Modric are not playing Tues. They were sent home early.
Despite the yellow card, the midfield looked much better with Kovacic. His ability to escape dribble and start plays is much better than both Brozo and Badelj. He’s arguably a better defender than Badelj. I hope he really shines on Tues and forces his way on to the starting line up.
Kalinic and Mandza are too inconsistent. I’m not sure if Kramaric is more consistent but it was nice to see Pjaca out there at least.
Great to see Corluka back. Besides that blunder to Strinic, his passing ability, especially long balls, helped create some chances when Peru was pressing. Vida isn’t comfortable with the ball at his feet and opposing teams know that. Hopefully, Lovren is good to go sooner than later.
Corluka was most likely in a Miami Strip Club that explains his performance. I wouldnt read much into friendlies remember before the 2006 World Cup we defeated Argentina 3:2 in a friendly and still got knocked out in the Group Stage.
this formation is inefficient, don’t be ridiculous
….Perisic….. Kramaric…… Mandzu……
…..Kovacic…..Modric…..Rakitic…………
Strinic…. Lovren ….Corluka…. Vrsaljko
…………………Subasic………………………
1) We don’t need Strinic to move up front
2) Mandzukic help on defense is totally waste
and here for the solution:
…………..Mandzu.……..Kramaric…….…….
….…….….Modric……..…Rakitic……………
….Perisic….……Kovacic……….Vrsaljko….
..…….Jedvaj……D Vida……Corluka………
…………………..Subasic……………………
1) 3 men in backline will cover all defense need
2) Perisic only will be fine to cover in the left area
3) Mandzukic and Kramaric will be ready upfront
4) Kovacic surely has a speed to cover middle area
while Rakitic and Modric as a reinforcement
Typical Croatian performance yawn.
Strinic is shit!
Peru got lucky! Croatia need offense, and to rethink that starting lineup. We will see what Dalic does for Tuesday’s match.
Oh and Subasic’s place should not be a no brainer. The 2nd goal was on him. No need to come out that far with that angle. I would probably go with Belgian league, goalkeeper of the year, Lovre Kalinic, at this point.
More ball possession, more corners, more shots on goal, more goal attempts….
Didn’t see the game. I stopped watching Croatian friendlies a long time ago. Croatia only plays well when they really have to.
I saw the flashscores statistics of the game. It learned me that it was not that bad. Take a look:
https://www.flashscores.co.uk/match/dx3GrCm7/#match-statistics;0
Was this some kind of joke?
Did Dalic seriously start Kalinic over Kramaric? If that is where Dalic’s head is, then we are in serious trouble.
Guys, hate to be the broken record, but we risk not getting out of the group stage with Strinic or Pivaric or (some other dud) at left back.
Time to rethink our formation, let’s get the horses on the field, and leave the donkeys, like Strinic, out to pasture.
Kinda glad to see Corluka play so bad that it is likely Dalic makes plans for an alternative. I had little hope he could recover fully from the achilles injury, but at least this poor showing will put Dalic on alert. Mitrovic is playing well at Club Brugge, and already proved his worth in qualifying.
What was that ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7xGT9gphf0
hopefully Badelj gets the start ahead of Broz because that guy has his head up his ass thinking hes a superstar
I didnt see much domination in that game @NKsusak. I saw a bunch of dudes on holiday in Miami while their opponents played their hearts out and won deservedly
we need a guy who plays like this on the back
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zotpUdxQFac
anyone have the match replay???
Down here in Miami and no need to push the panic button yet. Typical friendly from our big guns. Dominated long chunks of the game and concede in what was a road game for us twice. Acceptable? No, not really. For the amount of possession, we need more quality chances. But by no means the end of the world.
Whoever said that he’d rather have players not playing for their clubs and rested for the World Cup might know some shit about the country of Croatia, but doesn’t know shit about soccer.
well as far as LB as concerned.. we’ll see how Pivaric plays against Mexico…and at least he starts at his club
Polska je izgubila protiv Crna Rasa Nigeria 0:1.
Awful. Lovren needs to be in and a strinic replacement. Wing back. We need speed
Vida is shit as well, see him on the first goal, he just stood there and watched the Peruvian player line up a shot and score?
How about the dumb looking cunt Vida when the Peruvian player almost did a Paul Gascoigne on him, I didn’t know it was possible for him to look stupider than he already does, the guy looks like a fucking lesbian.
Coattail riders! Will never do anything for the YiCC.
Filip Krovinovic, (Benfica) Alen Halilovic, and Stipe Perica deserve a look. All three have excellent skills and creativity in the box – tonight proved that we are lacking that in a huge way.. Kramaric needs help.
Brozovic, Strinic, Corluka, Mandzukic and Kalinic are done. These South American teams have youth, speed and desire. Too many of our starters tonight have none of these three.
As much as we write about how great we are, this team sure knows how to humble us. Congrats to Peru. Feel bad for our fans in Miami tonight. Hopefully they still had a good time.
It’s not that Lovren doesn’t have the athleticism or the talent, it’s that he is a headcase that I wouldn’t trust in a big game.
Corluka was concerning, but hoping he’s just out of form. Also hoping it’s not a repeat of Pletikosa 2014…sticking with old reliable for one WC too long.
Good night motherfuckers.
1. Kalinic should be third choice striker
2. HNS is not Juve. Mandzukic can not play any other role than #9
3. Kramaric should be the first choice striker.
4. We need a fast winger on the right with Vrsaljko as the chemistry between Strinic and Perisic on the left is inconsistent
at best.
5. The defense is what it is. Corluka or Lovren, pick your poison.
6. Pjaca, Rebic,Perisic,Brekalo all prefer to play on the left. Who do you put on the right? Halilovic does have pace and likes to cut in from the right, but he isn’t setting LaLiga on fire.
Corluka & Vida > Lovren
Lovren looks like he should be fast but his feet just spin in the sand like a cartoon character getting ready to take off.
Mexico match is going to be on fire with all the young studs.
Dalić had to play all the “big time” scrubs. Now he can send them all back to their big time clubs early.
Dalić better be scouting all of our young talent over the next 2 months.
Out of form old legs need to NOT even be considered.
At least we have real friendlies to expose the dead weight.
Funny how some here think Lovren “not good enough” to play CB for us?
Good luck with Ćorluka and Vida.
3-5-1-1 ?
loss was healthy.
napred !
“witch face Modric.”
Great comment!
“coattail riders.”
Great comment, it’s funny because it’s true!
PerU 2 – 0 Yugoslavs in Croatian clothing!
Defense looked shaky between Corluka running in quicksand and Strinic’ matador defense. Strinic and Perisic on two diff wavelengths. As much as Strinic stunk, what’s the alternative?
Kramaric was a bright spot compared to invisible Mandzukic and Kalinic. Glad Brozo was subbed off early. Rakatic was fine for me and Modric was himself. Liked Sime’s game tonight.
Was Lovren called up/available? If he was and we didn’t start him with our ‘A’ team, I’ll take that as a positive.
Oh right.
Fuck me..
And I thought the Mexico game would be a great test.
@Poglavnik Im talking about our friendly against Brazil
Yeah agree that Krama looked way more lively than anyone else in the time he had
dude needs to start every game and be our #1 striker
sorry mandzu – he’s done a lot but his time might be up tbh
I am going to start writing for this site again, very soon.
@Hrvatska107
We’d have to make the knockout rounds to play Brazil.
At this rate Victor Moses is gonna tear us a new one, and Kelechi is going to out muscle our backline.
We will never win with Mandzukic playing anywhere on the field, he is a total waste. Kramaric did more in 10 minutes tonight then he’s done in 10 games , whoever cannot see this needs serious eyeglasses.
Honestly, if Messi tears us up,I am okay with that. The GOAT against the WOAT LB
Even better. Strinic is going to have to mark Messi in the WC
@Vedran
Srna would be way better than any current options
he might’ve retired 2 years too soon tbh
Or even Leovac?
Cant wait to see Strinic up against Willian when we face brazil
What about that Milic guy from Panatinaikos/Napoli?
I actually think this game is a good thing
if this doesnt tell Dalic that Krama is our best striker idk wtf will
he surely now has to know – and come WC time Krama will start for us, surely…. right guys? RIGHT????
Might as well get Srna out of retirement and ask him to play LB
pathetic performance. peru gave us a football lesson. good. hopefully the boys will realise that you have to move on a football pitch from now on. actually run, dribble and pass like you mean it. absolute disgrace. no more mandzukic from start. brozovic was shit. perisic too. rakitic is a lazy coward. kalinic is ok, he’s a striker, he needs service, you cant blame kalinic. strinic is shit but still our best option, charlie is slowly going to warm himself up he’ll be good soon. vrsaljko did fine. vida is good. on the basis of this match i’d be ready to go with this a lineup FROM NOW ON. subasic; vrsaljko, corluka, vida, strinic; modric, kovacic; perisic, kramaric, pjaca; kalinic….
if we had any balls thats what it looks like. too many cowards on the team, thats what hurts the most
^ ^
Agreed!
To me it’s as simple as that.
Modric, Rakitic, Mandza, Charlie, Strinic, Kalinic, etc, etc..
So many of our players are painfully slow.
Only speed we have is in Vrsaljko, Kova, Pjaca and Perisic.
@Rafael yep exactly what I said. Except I swear to Christ Strinic can’t be the best we have at LB. He can barely walk.
4-3-3 is how we get our best on the field. Today was simply a quick reminder Greece is shit and we need some fire in our testicles.
Perisic Kramaric Mandzu
Kovacic Modric Rakitic
Strinic Lovren Corluka Vrsaljko
Super Subs:
Pjaca, Rebic,Kalinic
We just need more pace, in defense and on offense. Mandzukic tries bless his heart but he is slower than a quadraplegic.
GUYS… KRAMARIC NEEDS TO START!
…………..A Rebic……..Kramaric…….…….
….…….….Modric…..……Rakitic……………
….Perisic….……Kovacic……….Vrsaljko….
..…….Jedvaj……D Vida……Corluka………
…………………..Subasic……………………
better to have this formation vs Mexico
Somebody has to hurt Mandzukic and Kalinic ‘s feelings and tell them Kramaric and another midfielder are going to start.
Somebody has to pick up the slack in that asshole’s absence
@Iggy You are absolutely right and don’t worry. By the World Cup, he will be the first choice 9. In the games that we need to defend it will be Mandzu on the wing (sigh) and in the games we can attack (Pjaca goes there). Kova in for Brozo and that’s your lineup. It did look better in the second half but with Mandzu, Brozo, and Kale our there it was 11 on 8.
Vedran, leave all the grade school name calling to Truth Troll
Iwobi has the pace of Corluka on rollerskates while drunk
Alex Iwobi (and any other black man with speed) for Nigeria against our backline IS actually scary to me.
Who the fuck is Lika Joey? All these fucking newfags popping up since I’ve been gone
So the only positives are heroine caked Sime and late-sub Krama?
Not very encouraging tbh
KRama showing again YTF didnt he start?
He’s our best striker by a fucking mile
@Vedran
I’ve been a Gunners supporter for over 20 years.
Put a National shirt on him and he’s a good player.
Opposite can be said of our club stars.
Vedran are you on drugs? Brozović, Kalanic, STRINIC are garbage. Vrsaljko is one step behind tonight.
I gotta say Vrsaljko is our best player out there
should’ve been a goal there
at least Krama showing he should’ve started
Zero leadership on this team.
Just a bunch of bench warming scrubs and coattail riders.
Suker had more leadership and influence than Modric and Rakitic could ever scrape together.
Dude, I’d choose Pjaca in the 20 minutes he’s been on over Vrsaljko!
He’s our MOTM you potato
That’s why we arsenal fans call him Alex Iwoeful
Vrsaljko hasn’t done anything to be MOTM.
Somewhere Lovren is hanging out by the hotel pool, laughing to himself saying: “..this is what happens when ya leave me out!” LOL
Alex Iwobi scary? Are you smoking meth?
I am an Arsenal fan and the guy has been dog shit the last year and a half. Wake up
MOTM Vrsaljko. Everybody else has been dog shit,including witch face Modric.
Learn to fucking read
That Nigeria game is gonna be scary.
John Obi Mikel
Victor Moses
Kelechi Iheanacho
Alex Iwobi.
They’ve got as many big names as we do.
They’re young, fast, and a very good team.
Undefeated in qualifying and they just beat Poland.
Easily our trickiest game if you ask me.
No shit,dip shit
MOTM in a 2-0 loss…you’re seriously scraping the bottom of the barrel!
THIS IS A PUTRID PERFORMANCE
Ante, can you please link to Cilic’s next match so i can watch a Hrvat who actually cares?
Thanks !
MOTM Vrsaljko. Everybody else has been dog shit,including witch face Modric.
Every time the ball goes into the attacking box, nobody knows how to make a decent touch or move. They completely freeze or fuck up.
Croatia with a man advantage, they should be able to score now.
jesus to be serious for a moment
this is a massive wake up call for our team..
for heaven’s sake what a terrible performance
Come back? Not today
REBIC IS ON WERE GONNA WIN LOL
Cue the comeback…
Terrible. Just terrible
i was about to say didnt that peru cunt get a card earlier?
Sorry misunderstood you.
We need Zvone Boban on this coaching staff to teach these cunts some heart
Vedran: how did u know im faster than Charlie ???
😉
Yay, Pjaca in the 71st….
Fucking hell, I think Corluka clotheslined him
HE acted like his arm was broken but he barely got touched tbh
btw when i said we’re throwing the game i was joking, cos of the modric lookalike coach they have
Really feel sorry for the fans who went to Miami.
God damn,I think a middle aged Croatian man with diabetes,weighing 133 kilos is faster than Corluka.
When that Peruvian guy got pushed out of bounds and was holding his hand, it filled me with happiness.
Ye, that’s it. We’re throwing the game!!!
Ma nemoj!!!!
We are not throwing this game…we just decided it ain’t worth it. That or they are gonna make the time difference adjustment as a scape goat. You know, Peru being in a similar time zone to Miami and shit.
btw forgive my ignorance but is there some reason Krama isnt playing?
Vedran: i know!! I saw a small image of the peru coach in a news article and for a tic i thought it was modric LOL
then i clikced it and realised oh no he’s too old, but you’re totally right, that dude could be his dad
maybe it IS his dad? Are we throwing this game? LEL
Put on Pjaca. He needs some game time and would inject some much needed pace ffs
Peru’s coach looks like Modric in thirty years
They’re afraid to play Rebic or Pjaca cause they think that guys like Kalinic and Mandzukic have earned their spot!
Kalinic wouldn’t make a ladies squad, he’s that shitty!
Don’t give up on Dalic yet
this might be his way of testing the B setup and re-affirming his A setup
don’t read too much into this game, it’s time for experimenting after all, it’s a no meaning friendly
as i said above, if we lose this it might not be the worst, if it shows Manzu has no business on the wing etc etc – it’s worth it
Our coach better put on his big boy pants and grow a set of balls! Mandzukic has no business on the right, especially since we have players on the bench that play there as a natural position. Kalinic is shit…nothing else to say!!!
Dalic has shown he’s another unqualified coach if he starts these guys the way he did, I’m done watching these idiot coaches make the same fucking decisions and not use logic!
Corluka is playing in the over 50 league
Well, I can only laugh. Cos , fair dinkum this is rubbish!!!!
Time to schedule Faroe Islands and Andorra again

better link to watch the game, without commentator!
– feel the crowd –
2-0, don’t wait until the 75th Dalic, we have seen enough
Get swim cap the fuck outta there. Charlie has lost his shit
What a fucking joke!
well, we’re being embarrassed now
“Razbijač says:
Peru is utilizing that “annoying-latino-all-over-us-game,” simply stealing a page from Mexico’s play book.”
Good way of putting it, i agree. We aren’t good against Sth American teams for sure and they niggle and annoy and harass us into errors and then take adv of those errors when they happen.
Also i dont BLAME Peru for taking it serious, good on them! Im just saying compared to our guys, there is a massive diff in enthusiasm. The crowd doesnt help btw
inefficiency is in my thought
LET’S make Perisic run…
2nd half I subscribe this one with 3 players in the backline
…………..A Rebic……..Kramaric…….…….
….…….…Modric…..…..Rakitic…………….
….Perisic….……Kovacic……….Vrsaljko….
..…….Jedvaj……D Vida……Corluka………
………………….Subasic………………….
Miami Flu. You think these guys went there, got away from their wives and kids, and didn’t party? Lol cmon.
I still think Mandzukic is a good player, but he’s got no business being on the wing. It’s either striker or bench.
LOL Serbs, Croats, Slovaks, Russians, all Slavs, all humans too.
@anonymous Ziva,do you ever grow up?
Strinic is a joke, sucked in euros, and still sucks, Mandzukic is horrible, most overrated player in europe, I can’t fucking stand looking at him anymore.
@Vlad. On je previse spor. Spor ko zimska cipela
PerU 1 – 0 Yugoslavs in Croatian clothing
Unless mandzo is a starting striker he has no business being on the field offering nothing offensively for us
@ Ziggy
Peru haven’t made a World Cup since ’82; forgive them for being just a bit fired up for this match.
Peru is utilizing that “annoying-latino-all-over-us-game,” simply stealing a page from Mexico’s play book.
Every one of you can suck my fuc…
J/k.If ya’ll wanna flame me go ahead. Same shit as Ziva Pickica.
Yeah agreed on them not giving a fuck. Especially not the defenders. Zero fucks.They are using this as a late season vacation.
Kramaric for Mandzu
Sosa for Strinic
Caleta-Car for Corluka
Badelj for Brozovic
(I know Caleta-Car and Sosa aren’t there but man do Carli and Striny look shaky out there).
On the wings Mandzu and Strinic doing nothing offensively. They have nothing to offer their wing partners Vrsaljko and Perisic.
Wow, why would you pay for air fare, hotel, ticket, etc to see a bunch of players who don’t give a shit. Sramota.
LOL
nearly a goal for us
to be fair, Peru took the game real serious – look at their coach when they lose the ball – he’s fucking livid! I can’t believe how serious they’re taking this, like its their world cup final
but yeah what i was gonna say was to be fair since the goal we’ve had total control and nearly a goal there from kalinic
so not too bad so far
Now Strinic is in the middle of the box blocking a nice shot from Rakitic
Mandzukic on a milk carton
Kalinic, Brozovic and Strinic are a waste.
Fucking Strinic – we need Kovacic and Pjaca our there
But yeah PEru are takin’ it really serious whereas our guys are just fuckin about
looks like THE TRUTH might’ve been right, gotta admit guys !
Yeah i said above ^^ up there, in the first minute of play i noticed they were trying really hard
i think we’re gonna loose but it might not be the worst thing for us
they’re nippy and aggressive in midfield and punish errors, this could be a good loss for us to have if u know what i mean
vedran.. u da man
not sure this will end well.. Peru are just all over us.
ive got 3 goon boxes and pride on the line LOL
Come on boys!
I’ve got a case of beer and pride on the line with a Peruvian buddy…
Fuck
FUCK ME
GOD DAYUM THAT SUCKS ALREADY
welp, that was a brain fart in the back
Kalinic sucks!!!
Whoever said the fans are 90% Peruvian was obv right, the crowd is getting hyper when they get the ball out of their half and there’s fuckley’s silence for us
pity no Croats come out for these games, sigh
The kit is interesting.. now ive seen it in play.. im actually a bit less of a fan; dont get me wrong it looks good but i think the colour of the numbers or something is a bit off, it needs a minor tweak i think – imho
What kind of fucking corner….
Good ball strinic
i know it’s early but Peru look like they want to win
What.. are they.. are they taking it seriously????
SHEESH
LOL
This game is for brozo and strinic and corluka
Love the kit. Awesome!!!
Damm they loud lol
gee they really like putting the ppl in the dark before this game lmao
gosh still showing the ’98 team before our games LOL
we really need to make another run to the semis just to stop everyone talking about that team always in reference to us !
thanks boys
i dont have a single pop up either, im watching in great quality, like idemo said google “reddit soccer streams”
i disabled AB for idemo’s vid but it seems to be running fine and no popups so worth it so far
I don’t have ad block and didn’t have a single pop up…..stop watching porn
@idemo, your link sucks because you have to disable ad block.
Here is a link to a HRT2 stream
http://big-tv.olweb.tv/big_player.php?adresa=hrt-2-live&server=1
Truth Troll is trained in Krava Magarac. He is bersed in the ways of Krava Magarac by his sensei
Oh yeah i forgot Cilic was playing, good to see he won, Coric is a day after him, hope both guys do well at this tourney
Everyone asking for streams: they really only become available at gametime so just hold on
Truth Troll still not as big of a cunt as Ziva, but Tuth Troll is still a huge cunt. He “shreds” at that.
hot 2 stream …. still would recommend reddit once up
https://www.firstonetv.net/Live/Croatia/HRT-2-4
Disappointing to see Brozovic in the lineup instead of Kovacic
Tone
It’s fairly early…..look 10 mins before
No account needed
Idemo.. do u have an account on Reddit… don’t get anything??

sucking dicks is my hobby guys… just wanted to see if anyone else into that
truthfully I’m a gay serb / yugo
Links anyone??
I’m gay
@ the truth,
Djokovic in a Croatian holding pattern. He lost at Indian Wells after I talked to him and he lost again today in Miami. Panic mode?
Cilic and Vekic looking good…
I flew down from NJ for the game in Miami. Fuckin pathetic showing of Croatian fans. Literally by the handful. ALL PERUVIANS!!!
Google
Soccer streams reddit
1020 p streams
It’s called lack of focus. Meeting with dragic at the heat game. Going to the bar with djokovic. This is like an ex yugo reunion for them
@ Anon
No fighting for me. I need to be in peak kite shredding form. Also with my krav maga training i could seriously hurt someone and be held legally liable. Too many business assets to risk
@bz
Not sure about wind yet. Going to get out on the water tomorrow pending the night getting out of hand. I’m getting too old for it now, but if all the conditions are right, could still see my self going down to South beach and getting a table
Are you suggesting we can stream the game on HRT2 from all over the world???
It’s called building team spirit. Figures someone as unlikable as The Truth wouldnt be able to comprehend the concept.
Just look for a loser on the beach trying to get a kite to lift his fat ass out of the water.
@the Truth,
fair point regarding prancing, but hope they get all their prancing out now rather than at the World Cup eg No pool parties in Russia please.
u-21 loss, good news is Halilovic was beastly today.
How is the wind for your kite surfing? Shredding it? Have fun at the game tonight.
One of us should meet the truth down there and shut that pos up
Argentina beat Italy 2 – 0
Aussies lost 4-1 in Norway, lel
The truth is poor substitute for ziva istina
Truth, fuck you!
Are they stacked or has the media just overhyped them?
I see these cro players prancing all over Miami. Clearly not focused on the game and the world cup ahead. This is warm weather winter vacation for them it seems
They still have a very good chance at finishing top 4 second place teams
u21 is really stacked, how did they lose??
^ ^
Wow!
No kidding that team is stacked.
Aaaand Caleta Car has our goal.
CALL HIM UP!!
Under 21 team line up on paper is stacked but currently losing 1-0 at half time
Although it’s a few days later, BEIN is showing the game on Sunday if you can’t find a good stream today.
Ajmo Nasi!!
anyone know any stream’s?
I’m in Canada and just scrolled over on the “guide” and BEIN SPORTS has Croatia-Peru listed as being shown live tonight.
However, their website lists Polska-Nigeria as being shown.
Here’s hoping it’s the former.
Where can I or (we) watch/stream this game in USA
Looking forward to this. Nice no pressure game i can enjoy with some drinkies 🙂 Will be watching this with bells on since it’s for once a nice time for us Aussies
