Reports out of Germany the day after Croatia’s 3-0 loss to Spain saying:
-Petković in the doghouse after penalty take
-Croatians fans in the stadium were poor
-Changes expected for the Albania match June 19th
Here are the links from Sportske Novosti on Petković and the Croatian fans in Berlin.
I play in an over 18 indoor Men’s League in Mississauga, Ontario, and I’m running circles around these youngins, at 41!
Are you still playing? Is this a Croatian men’s league? I heard that they put one together in Norval…I want to join next year
Plenty of people pointing out how shit a shot Kova is. He passed one to the goalkeeper and the other one he shot way over the crossbar. He should know by now that he’s a crappy shot and look to pass it off instead of booting a selfish shot that he knows has no chance. Also smacked the Spanish player in the head with the ball when he no longer had any idea of what to do with it that was at least funny. If only Kova could actually shoot and score.
Croatian fans whistling during the Spanish national anthem was a disgrace also, they got what they deserved for their pathetic behaviour. It was great to see!
I reckon some of the Croatian players would’ve been ashamed of their fans also, especially when some of them have earnt their living in Spain.
What do you guys think of the pathetic Croatian fans in Germany?
You arent from europe are you? ???? you dont have a clue about football culture obviously.
Are you saying that Croats booing another nations national anthem is normal?
What the f*** is “football culture,” to me it’s just a game and I wouldn’t act like a fool because of “football culture” ???????????? and then lose 3 nil in a pathetic effort, giving the pathetic fans what they truly deserved ????????????
Let’s see if those pathetic supporters boo the Albanian national anthem?
Just remember some of you muppets whinging about the Mexican fans shouting puto when the goalkeeper takes a goal kick, is that South American “football culture” that you don’t have a clue about?
Mexico is in North America you idiot
I know.
Uruguay forever!!!
Booing other nations national anthem is a very common thing in Europe but also in South America yes. You cant even grasp the concept of what football culture is SO DONT EVEN TRY IT. Dont talk about pathetic when you are sitting in the US not knowing shit about anything lmao. Palestine supporter also? HAHA
@Mile
You can think what you like about it not being a penalty. Maybe your not aware what a shoulder barge is?
It’s moving an opponent off the ball when shoulders are square. Now Trippier shouldered Mitrovic from his back, which is foul like it or not.
Again, even if you disagree, that doesn’t change the fact if it was us or any other non elite country it would also be ignored.
(By non elite, all those who haven’t won a World Cup)
If that’s England its going to VAR instantly. For us they won’t even check such antics. The fact they won’t go to VAR is even more frustrating.
Spains third goal was a shirt pull, total foul on us but wasn’t punished on Spain. Even the pundits mentioned it on TSN but shake it off as part of the game.
Well, it’s only part of the game when it’s convenient.
Thx for that info regarding Bruno, it’s too bad because I truly like his touch on the ball. He does some good things that aren’t selfish.
I wish we could play Krama at his natural position and I’m happy to hear Epicless Broz might sit. I’ve always wanted young blood inserted.
When Mandzukic, retired after 2018, I had so much respect for him. Knowing it was time and giving the next generation an opportunity. We will be having this discussion about Broz and maybe Kova and Luka after this tournament.
Gvardiol, being moved to center makes sense until the next stud appears.
The fans being quiet, I’m with you Ante, 3-0 in football is likened to 8-0 hockey game.
Also we’re not Scotland who had a parade in Glasgow when they made it 4-1 against Germany.
I’m happy for this loss, if we deserve to go forward in this tournament, then we should treat this as Dobiti Bante from our loving Fathers, we will only get stronger from here on.
Za Dom
I can see Bruno’s logic trying get Spain a red but we should know by now that the elites don’t get punished.
I’m already seeing VAR being used when it’s convenient for the elite teams.
Even though we got blown out yesterday, I find it infuriating to watch Carvajal shirt pulling ignored and his pile driver on Majer all unnoticed.
Today’s game with England and the Serbs also was not without controversy.
No matter how much we dislike our Slavic neighbours they got screwed.
Mitrovic was shouldered from behind by Trippier, VAR wasn’t even considered on what would be a penalty shot.
If that was Harry Potter/Cane, that would instantly be looked at.
As we saw yesterday, they didn’t hesitate at all to use VAR on Bruno’s goal calling it back for encroachment, thus insuring no comeback.
Furthermore, how many clean shoulder barges did we get nailed for being a foul against Spain?
Lastly, as stated prior, I put all bias aside, all I want from every tournament is zero corruption and match fixing but after so many years of seeing the real TRUTH, I can only pray that God intervenes.
P.S. The Serbs still need to pay for shutting the lights on us in Belgrade.
The referee was pretty fair for both teams yesterday. It was our fault not to convert the penalty. However. Serbia dominated England in the second half. They should have at least tied it.
No they didn’t.
Serbia created very few chances and deserved to lose to a much stronger England today.
Why do you comment servia? This is Croatian sports.
Come on dude, the Trippier thing was not a PK. Give me a break. And the penalty if converted yesterday would have been a consolation goal. No way Spain is blowing a 3-0 lead on this Croatian team in the last 10 minutes. I even said to everyone that the way this game was going, Petkovic was going to miss. And you hope that God intervenes? lol
Well, Spain DID blow a 3-1 lead to us in the last 10 minutes during the previous Euros.
If we didn’t give up so soon and sub out Modrić/Kova, we could have come back.
Ya i actually had some faith we could come back
Bottom line, they weren’t going to come back from 3-0, even if Petkovic scores. You can think they might have had a chance, but I don’t. The 2021 comeback against Spain was an aberration, not a pattern.
Wasn’t krama subbed off at the pk? I haven’t watched the video but will shortly
Regardless that should have been Perisic shot to take
I’d much rather him shank it as the hero he is
Again dude had major knee surgery
Came back and looked to have more pace then many
At 35!
