Liverpool were on Cloud Nine 80 minutes into their Champions League first leg semifinal match versus Roma Tuesday night; up 5-0 and all but through to the Final match. However, a small Dejan Lovren gaffe at the back where he misjudged a ball in the air lead to Edin Dzeko’s opener for Roma in the 81st minute. The Italian side would convert a penalty four minutes later to save face and leave England with a much more manageable first leg score.
Remember, Roma came back to stun Barcelona from three goals down in the quarterfinal round in Rome so they and their supporters know it’s not impossible.
Lovren had a solid game until the Dzeko goal, nearly scoring off a header and making a nice tackle in the box during the first half.
Liverpool are 90 minutes away from the Champions League Final. Will they get the job done or pull a Barcelona in Roma?
The return leg takes place next Wednesday in Italy.
Liverpool-Roma Highlights, Lovren Blunder @ 6:02
Roma will qualify again from a 3 goal deficit like against Barcelona and knock out Liverpool.
@Cigan that is a very very good point. that makes me feel quite a bit better today…thankyou
Just looked at Greece highlights from 2004. What would yall do if Croatia won the world cup? I think id die from a heart attack (from joy of course)
The Lovren comes with the soul patch and a half sleeve.
* Russel Brown shirts sold separately.
@Maminjo
When Sammir played Croatia won that must win game, so what’s the problem? They shoulda won the must win game with other players lol! Some people say that game was fixed anyway.
Anyway, you can get the Lovren jersey, no accessories needed, just gotta be a bonehead.
also in that alternate universe the truth troll wasnt a troll and didnt live in his moms basement
in that alternate universe we came back in 2016 and won the euros
in an alternate universe we beat mexico in 2014…then the dutch the next round..then costa rica…then we lost to argentina in the semis
Well, we DID have an idiot of a coach in the last World Cup who decided to experiment (when he didn’t really have to) with Sammir and Pranjić in the central midfield during two must-win tournament games.
just remembered that pranjic started CM last world cup against mexico lmao, and sammir started against cameroon lol. this world cup we have so much depth and so many options.
Lol the jersey with Modric’s name on it can come with a big jew nose a blonde wig with a hair band.
@ Stef T.O – I agree about the first. Normally I would say he’s wrong on the second but you don’t think the header was catching a fast cross that’s too hard to react to and put out wide ? I could be wrong.
@Ivan Novak – does the Pranjic jersey come with a Mohawk and rub on lips tattoo I can wear on my neck? If not it’s not the full Pranjic package.
Lovren made both mistakes.
On the second goal he decided to head it to the front of the net instead of heading it to the sidelines. Complete bone head move. This guy can cannot start at the WC absolutely shit.
I made a decision on which names I will put on my home and away Croatia jerseys. I just want to say thanks for the input I recieved from some of you guys. Me and my wife Sara decided to put Modric on my son Tomislav’s jersey and for me I will put Lovren and Kalinic. Also I have a Pranjic jersey circa 2010 I will give away if someone wants it. I will even cover the shipping!
On Real Madrid again, we could say the Tottenham games didin’t matter when you take into account how shit Dortmund and Apoel were.
That leaves 7 games, and of those Neymar missing in Paris, so that game was a gimme.
Ref help to get past Juve.
And now I find out Vidal is out for Bayern and he would’ve beat the shit outta Modric.
Bayern need to win this tournament to bring back some credibility to the CL, any other result brings the CL into disrepute.
Liverpool and Roma can’t even win their own league for how many years now?
CL is a joke.
13 games to get to the CL final.
4 of the easy games in the group stage against Dortmund (2pts in the group stage) and Apoel (2pts).
That leaves 9 games, and of those games Neymar was out of the 2nd leg in Paris, ref gave them a helping hand against Juve, and they’re 2 games away from the final. Lol how easy is that.
Some retards believe that Real is the best team in Europe because they’ve won 1 La Liga title in six years and 3 CL titles whilst resting players in La Liga.
Resting players in La Liga when it’s all over after 5 rounds is the reason Real do so well in CL.
…hopefully he can help with the development of Andrija Balic and Stipe Perica. Would be cool if they sign Robert Muric as well, because in my opinion, these three young players have the most unique skills and potential to be future stars.
Igor Tudor has been named manager of Udinese. Third Croatian coach ever in Serie A.
Better to see Lovr3n out for second leg due to injury and cause Liverpool defeated 3-0 in Rome
Salah v Marcelo, or Salah v Alaba should be an awesome battle. I think Alaba would be better neutralize him. Marcelo’s gonna have to rein it in. He gets caught upfield a lot.
We’ll see if Bayern or Real can handle Liverpools attack. I wouldn’t bet on it.
man. real gonna wash them In the final
Lovren has the Bundy curse plain and simple.
roma in good position as another 3-0 home win puts them in the final 😀
Does anyone here honestly see Lovren NOT making a serious gaffe (leading to a goal) in any of the three group games this World Cup?
Dude can’t last 90 minutes out there without fucking up.
Getting tired of seeing stuff like this. Liverpool being up 5-0 and mistakes from Lovren put a black eye on the game.
Not good.
Lovren at fault for first goal, nothing new
Iggy i hope you DIE…………..at a very old game from natural causes
Still reckon Lovren should be our starting striker this WC !
😉
