Croatians from all over the globe gathered late Monday night in Bordeaux, France in preparation of Croatia’s final group stage match at Euro 2016; against reigning champions Spain. The square in which Croatians joined was full of singing and dancing for two straight hours as everybody was in great spirits following the Czech Republic match.
When asked about the Croatian hooligans who stopped the match with flares and explosives in St. Etienne, every Croatian supporter I talked to said that ‘those are not real (Croatian) supporters and they do not represent us.”
The Croatian national side takes on Spain Tuesday night at noon (ET) and will win the group with a victory over Spain. Should Croatia remain in second place, they will face Italy in the Round of 16.
FUCK ME, fuck the ref, great job Subasic.
And we know we’d get fucked
Turkey just scored another.
DAMN I love Peresic more and more. Telling Morata to shut his cock holster was sick.
.
I’d like to punch Vincent Kompany in his vagina. He needs to shut his whore mouth.
Thanks for the heads up Iggy.
Kalinic goal was dirty, I love it
I was wrong, the young guys look like shit.
.
btw can someone tell me who we play if we finish in 2nd or 3rd or 1st now?
And why can’t we wear the Checkers for once
cmon guys u arent commenting in the actual game thread, get with the newest thread
Ya lol lets try brand new back 4 against the best team in world lol
I’m surprised they can speak with the Spanish cocks in their mouth
Vrsaljko and Tin keep running into each other
Damn we been unlucky
Goal was bad bounce
Raketa nice try
Modric in game way diff Spain knows this all too well
Announcers suck on Canadian feed
DID THAT JUST FUCKING HAPPEN
Good news Turkey scored
So far the young kids looks comfortable out there, I love it.
I hope I’m wrong, looking good so far.
We are getting killed tonight. Cacic is pulling a 1996 Blazevic!
These fucking announcers are saying this is going to be a tough game for Croatia to win, while I agree, but it’s also going to be a tough game from Spain.
.
Lol corkuka still rocking the head gear
I guess we are going for one of the top four third place teams! On HRT they are saying Rog’s job is to cover Iniesta!
What the fuck is with this lineup? If it is true that security is horrible today, then they can all go fuck themselves. They are letting us be sabotaged. I’m not watching this shit anymore. Fucking complete joke.
If we are going to play Rog over Kovacic/Coric I would prefer we sit Rakitic/Perisic as well.
Official line-up for the game is announced: A lot of changes!
Subasic – Srna, Corluka, Jedvaj, Vrsaljko – Rog, Badelj – Perisic, Rakitic, Pjaca – Kalinic
Bottom half of the draw right now:
France vs. 3rd C/D/E
England vs. 2nd F
Germany vs. 3rd A/B/F
Italy vs. 2nd D
Very difficult draw for all. Spain will try to win (or at least tie) today to stay on the top half and be the heavy favorite to make it to the final.
bravo njemci….idemo dalje
OK, Croatia’s officially into the knockout round, pending any disturbances at the game today.
Northern Ireland is happy with losing 1-0. They’ll probably get in as a third place team and play France, unless the Czech don’t win today, then Northern Ireland would play Wales.
My close friend is there and let me know that security is atrocious. They are letting everyone in, not checking tickets or flags and barely patting people down. It’s up to the fans in the stands to police themselves if something happens. He could’ve walked in with anything. He says expect the worse, pray for the best.
Poles 1-0 but need 2 more goals to surpass Germany who are up 1-0
no they dont on the field, these morons shouldn’t be on the pitch
F’n dunces better not cause trouble. I see true terrorists seeing this attention on Croats, as a way in.
Threatening to attack someone who is entirely disconnected from what you’re upset about it ridiculous. Why not plan to just invade the pitch and run around/resist being taken off. I’m not condoning any behavior and I hope they severely punish anyone who tries to interump the match. But, why does it have to be “an attack” especially on someone that has zero to do with it. Maybe they could just run on the field and light themselves on fire.
Im toasting some Sljivovica here.. Here’s to hoping a bunch of em get curbed into comas! Outside of the stadium and away from UEFA sanctions of course..
If Germany wins Cacic keeps Modric out of the game. If not then I think he plays at least a half.
Germany playing n Ireland is like us playing San Marino
Muller has no luck lol
I could see modric wanting to play but best to rest him one would think
Maybe the injury wasn’t that bad
He may have just felt a tinge and thought game was in hand so call it a day
Finally Germany scores lol
I was thinking 0-0 as well
1-0
Germans should be up 4-0, can’t wait for the 0-0 draw.
So is Modric out for sure? I couple of website quote Cacic as saying that he hasn’t made a decision 100% either way.
I wish Croatia would put out a public service announcement for any hrvati in the stadium to shit kick anyone causing trouble in the stadium and bring them within a few breaths of thier life if they are trying to disgrace us!
If the French want to make a statement – threaten to shoot anyone who invades the pitch. The invader could literally be threatening the life of a player or ref, so why not use lethal force?
I mean, I’d go to federal prison if I yelled loudly at the fat bitch at the DMV desk. Why not shoot someone for trespassing and invading the pitch to potentially injure someone? That would make a statement.
These hooligans are turning this years Euros to the warriors movie.
Dejan
The plan for st etienne was actually more flares while one of them invaded the pitch and attacks the ref
Here’s the video of Ukraine-England.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK07lyGeIPw
Nice one Kvartuc! Hope you have the time of your life actually being there. Table for jealous, party of 1 here.
Now if I can find that goal on video you can see the players just let that fucking goal go in. No doubt England was set on revenge we cost them a lot of pride and money when they didn’t qualify.
@elvis i also remember them being moved to 2nd pot and us to 1st pot for the WC qualifiers….only to have us draw them…and to have them slaughter us at maksimir for the first time ever.
Hrvat
No way that happens and just curious where you’re getting there rumors from
29 min: GOAL!!! Ukraine 1-0 England. Cole, Terry and Ferdinand all stand around like pieces of bedroom furniture as Milevskiy skitters across the face of the England area from right to left. Only the much-maligned Johnson responds, with a decent tackle, but is unlucky to see the ball break to Nazarenko, whose goalward shot is deflected by Cole’s desperate header and into the left-hand side of the net. How is the usual fall guy Johnson going to be blamed for this one, then?
They shouldn’t even let Croatian fans into this game. I’d rather not risk it.
Important to get a lead and to force Spain to chase the game….this is not the same Spain that won everything during that 6 year span….I’m quietly confident here….lets see!
No it is not retarded. Re-watch the game and the comments after. ENG threw it.
It is tough to obtain possession from Spain, even tougher with top notch presser like Mandze up top. Even tougher when you lose a world class playmaker & defensive genius like Modric.
I can see it now, Croatia gets dominated in time of possession and everybody blames Cacic/Kalinic.
We can still win this w/o Modric/Madze, but it is going to take a heroic efforts from Rakitic & Perisic.
Rumor is Croatian hooligan plan to attack ref at the 30 minute mark
elvis you are retarded for thinking that
Also Eng lost on purpose to UKR to knock us out.
@mkez00
We knocked ENG out of Euro 2008. The 2010 WC Qual canpaign was a disaster. Does anyone remember? Duda broke leg, Kovac bull shit red card in game one in Zagreb and reties Modric broke his leg and so did Olic.
Since England only ever look good when they play us I guess I should have never expected them to beat Slovakia…now it’s Germany’s turn to beat Ireland so I can watch the game today with no expectations. Please get it done Njemacka
Absolutely mind boggling that right now , 7 hours before the game they are saying shit is gonna go down again. They even say it will be from the second level. What a disgrace that this can be known , yet they won’t prevent it. When it happens, which wouldn’t surprise me , all the players should strike! Throw the French team out. It’s their fault. When you host people , it’s your duty to make sure they’re safe.
oh joy
Ivan perisic is due to go off; our only chance
Jutarnij List claims that Torcida member are on their way to France to sabotage the match against Spain.
You should really check their website http://www.torcida.hr/povijesna-cinjenica/torcida-ponovno-postaje-navijacka-skupina/
They’re actually proud that they can sabotage football games and they barely condemn the actions in St-Etienne.
Why didn’t the Croatian already block their website and arrested their leaders? Put those morons behind bars, now!!!
i think we could win with modric but not so sure now, fingers crossed tho !
UEFA security is getting a pass with all this Hooligan hooplah!
In this day and age with the climate of terrorist acts, you simply cannot allow this happen in a stadium full of people.
The fine is fair in my opinion, use the money to beef up security at all Croatian matches going forward.
To the match:
I am just going to sit back enjoy seeing the boys compete and go at Spain.
Bez Modric we still have enough to press them in the midfield.
Vrsaljko needs to be on the pitch to introduce his explosive self to the Athletico Madrid faithful.
3-2 Croatia.
Once you start scoring on Spain their delicate rythm gets disrupted.
Plus Iniesta will either be tired or rested.
U Boj !
Hrvatska ispada ako:
1. Sjeverna Irska ne izgubi od Njemačke (danas, 18 sati)
2. Hrvatska izgubi protiv Španjolske (danas, 21 sat)
3. Češka pobijedi Tursku i bude imala bolju gol razliku od Hrvatske (danas, 21 sat)
4. Portugal pobijedi Mađarsku (sutra, 18 sati)
5. Island i Austrija ne odigraju neriješeno (sutra, 18 sati)
6. Irska pobijedi Italiju i bude imala bolju gol-razliku od Hrvatske (sutra, 21 sat)

Zoran Mamic leaving Dinamo to coach some Saudi Team
If you read Croatian papers online like Jutranji List or Vecernji List you will know that the only change for tomorrow is Kalinic in for Mandzukic and Kovacic in for Modric.
The players are in good spirits and Cacic took them all for a stroll to some cafes, The pictures are interesting because the players divide into little groups and you get to see who hangs out with who.
Coric was hanging out with some coaches and perhaps Rog.
Best quote from yesterday was from Ivan Rakitic regarding playing against several of his club teammates- “Maybe Iniesta and Busquets will fuck up and pass the ball to me”
im not sure i know enough to pick a line up but i seriously wouldn’t mind seeing srna on the right pushed up with vrsajlko behind him. maybe rakitic deeper back now… maybe brozovic pushed up higher in the middle?
so what are your guys projected line ups?
I say we do not look past tomorrow’s game, that’s a huge mistake!
Also, the guy in the video was right! He said those aren’t fans that try to sabotage Croatia, the fans are those behind him peacefully cheering and supporting the team!
I hope people that think fan boy organizations are true fans can see the difference now. Being part of an organization that plans to screw an entire nation just because they think they have a right to makes them criminals once they throw flares and disrupt the game. And if there’s any misunderstanding or misinterpretation, look at the response from our players…they were embarrassed and appalled by those clowns!
One game at a time guys! Focus on tomorrow and do not look ahead until we see our result!
professor LAknat always right ..
this starting 11 will beat Spain ->
…………………………Lov Kalinic…………………………..
…………..Corluka…….D Vida…….Jedvaj………………
….Srna……….Brozovic…….Kovacic…………Strinic…
……………..Rakitic…………………Perisic………………..
………………………….Kramaric…………………………….
@dannyj
OF AAAAAALL TIMESSSS!!
If Rakitic scores 5 goals tomorrow I will name everyone of my children Ivan Rakitic just like George Foreman.
I’d say bring on Portugal of those 3.
Drawing a red card from Pepe in that game would always be a possibility.
Wales, scare me right now. Too much speed on the counters in Bale and Ramsey.
too funny
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSQ7PgJJEaA
So many possible combinations. Looks like if Croatia is 2nd and play Italy, and then win, the quarters would be vs. Germany or Slovakia. Unless Poland takes first place tomorrow. If Poland does get first, I don’t think it matters where Croatia ends up in the draw, they will have a good chance to go to the semis it they play well.
so who would u guys like to play
portugal, italy, or wales
obviously most of the time you take wales but they playing strong having nothing to lose and have momentum
italy, everyone knows we can beat them, but sure as shit don’t want it to go to a shootout with them… buffon vs subasic… game over imo
portugal… not playing that well but have had a lot of chances… ronaldo not playing well but we all know that can change in an instance
its a toss up for sure
poglavnik with the 5 goals, rakitic will now become your most favourite croat player of all time
Being the stats nerd that I am, I’ve looked at scenarios if Croatia end up third in the group, because if that happens, they would play either Wales or France. It looks like the chances are really good that it would be Wales.
In every scenario that Albania is not one of the four best third place teams, Croatia would play Wales. Right now, Slovakia has a better third place record than Albania. Northern Ireland can lose to Germany by three goals or less and they would also have a better third place record than Albania. As long as Portugal doesn’t lose to Hungary, the third place team in group F will have a better record than Albania. And obviously Croatia would be the fourth third place team. So to me it looks like the best third place teams will be in B, C, D and F (I don’t see either Ireland or Sweden beating Italy and Belgium respectively).
So for tomorrow:
Win – 1st place – play a third place team (likely from group F – would be Portugal if they tie Hungary)
Tie – 2nd place – play Italy
Lose and Czechs win – third place and probably play Wales (unless Croatia loses by one goal and Czechs win by one goal, but total goals in Croatia game is higher, then they stay 2nd and play Italy)
Clear as mud, right?
I’m actually surprised UEFA did us a favour. The fine is peanuts in the grand scheme of things and I think this might actually restore a little faith back into the team. Hopefully we play like we have been tomorrow even without Modric and Mandza…never know, we could even pull off the upset.
Either way we are almost through and will know more by kickoff tomorrow.
Ajmoooooo!
those fans restore some hope in croatia
Kvartuč the celebrity everywhere he goes….enjoy the game!
Pet – Nula Hrvatska!
Rakitic, Rakitic, Rakitic, Rakitic, Rakitic!
Embarrassing this is how you dance.
