Man what a injustice in football looks like, Italy do nothing and in the last ball they ended up qualifying with that awesome last minute goal pure skills+luck.

The most sad part is Croatia now needs a miracle to go into the R16. The only good part i have them to score only one goal in this match.

I don't think that anyone expects Croatia so qualify with two points. We don't deserve it. I guess bad luck had to happen after all those penalties in the last World cup. We had incredible luck back then and now we had to have some bad luck.

I still don't understand what Beozovic was doing the whole 90 minutes in the game. When he was replaced against Albania, we changed the way we were playing and suddenly everything looked much better.

I am still on tilt after I chickened out in the Germany - Switzerland match.
In any other competition I went for a draw and had 0-0 or 1-1 in mind but not on LMS
Hope that it won't backfire and very unlucky for Croatia yesterday.

The odds are stacked. There are already three third place holders on 3 point and only one of them has played, others on 2 and 1 with a better goal difference and a game to spare, it will take an extremely lucky series of events for Croatia to go through, but luckier things have happened in football. The key is it may not be deserved though, the team has not been decisive enough or good in defense. In the 2019 World Cup they conceded only one goal in the group stage, this tournament they've let in 6.

I do wish you guys luck.

I don't believe this was matter of bad luck since it happened two times in a row. Its simply lack of concentration and poor defending. Also, wining penalties has very little with luck as well as its mostly about psychology and composure. If it wasn't then everyone woould have similar percentage, while there are simply some who are better at it than the others (for example, Modric is not very good at it and it showed once again).

I don't think that anyone expects Croatia so qualify with two points. We don't deserve it

Our chances are indeed very slim, but this "we don't deserve to qualify with 2 points" is imho bs. Back in 2016 Portugal had 3 draws in their weak group (Iceland, Hungary, Austria) yet they managed to end as champions, with only 1 win in regular time (vs Wales in 1/2 final). I doubt anyone there is saying "man, we shouldn't have even passed the group when we couldn't beat anyone".

I still don't understand what Beozovic was doing the whole 90 minutes in the game. When he was replaced against Albania, we changed the way we were playing and suddenly everything looked much better.

Difference is, against Albania we were chasing their lead while vs Italy were defending almost whole second half. And thanks to ingenious Dalic selection of players, we didn't have a single DM on the bench.

Man, I am still feeling absolutely gutted, maybe even worse than after that loss vs Turkey back in 2008(even though once again we were shit). Worst of all is, if we managed to beat Italy, our next opponent would be Switzerland and we woulnd't be without chances against them.

You have even more drastic example in African Cup this year. Ivory Coast passed with 2 points and -4 goal difference. Same rules as this Euro. They even sacked manager after loosing last game in group stage 4;0 and then went on to win the tournament.

So we know what to do, immediately fire Dalic, and then take the trophy

The worst thing is that the way we played first periods against Albania and Italy is actually the tactics that Dalic decided go with. Not that our players didn't have the will to try harder. They simply decided not to risk conceding a goal and then start playing in the second period. I don't know why he decided to go with that tactics, but I don't like it. But the biggest mystery to me is why he insisted in keeping Brozovic on the field. Yeah, he had few good plays, but he isn't the same player since he left Europe. I hope that now it's time to retire "the seniors" and give a chance to younger players.

I don't think it was Dalic fault or maybe not completely just in part at fault.The reason is the same and that is that Dalic cannot do that much with the age that these players have,most of them will be out regarding playing in a next major tournament and this is the part where Dalic is not at fault,he is at fault for not opting for young talented players to try and put them in the squad in order to have the team prepared for the next major event.If he is sacked the new coach should definitely start by improving the team age,conceding a goal in the 98th minute of a decisive game confirms this even further.

I was gonna bring that up but Trofo got here first. This 'best 3rd place' rule can be played very smartly by certain teams, and Ivory Coast really used the group stage well, reserved everything for the knockouts onwards.

Did they deserve it? I think anyone who wins deserve it.

Croatia odds must be even better now, any takers?

I haven't watched a single AFCON game so I can't be 100% sure, but I seriously doubt that Ivory Cost planned to be 3rd or anything of that sort because if that was indeed planned, they wouldn't sack the manager after the group phase. After all, you can't even plan something like that since you depend on other results and not only on yourself.

They probably just sucked in those first few games, like we did but thanks to the system they got another chance which they used to eventually win the whole thing.

Whose fault is it when old an (unfortunately) uncapable players play for the national team? Of course, it's the coach fault because he is the one who chose to play with those players. I'm not saying that he shouldn't have put Modric from the start, but there are others that younger players could have play instead of. The first name is Brozovic. Maybe we don't have another player to play in his spot, but there are two options - change the tactics or invite other players who can play instead of him.

But OK... That's enough about Croatia. We will see how other games will end. I read in the Croatian media that we need England to beat Slovenia with at least three goals and Serbia to lose against Denmark. While I can see Denmark beating Serbia, I definitely can't see England scoring three goals to Slovenia. But... It's football and anything is possible.

[buwaytress]

Ought to feel proud of myself for picking up a point from Germany's failure to win. Shitty time for Italy to start conceding, but I suppose I should have paid attention to what I myself saw in previous Cro games.

Football is round, or so some German saying goes. I'm picking different in pool, in LMS, and on bets. Everyone draws and I lose everything, anyway ha. #nojinx

Netherlands. Haha.

I think that conceding a goal in the last minute is not necessarily the problem, by the way 9 games have had goals in this way in Euro 2024, the thing is that they start badly with Spain, everything adds up to the goal difference, they were 3 goals, then they tie with Alabania, which in fact those 3 goals from Spain matter, any coach/team knows that if their last phase 1 match is against Italy, they must arrive with better qualification options.

Modric, great, let it be known that I put Croatia to win 1-0 in the Pool, a fan not only of words but of actions.  -/     /-

Austria tops Group D, this Euros is wild man.

It is wild, but Austria definitely deserves this win. They played very well and proved that they can go far in the EURO2024. Netherlands finished the group as third nation, but with four points they will surely qualify for the next round.

Also, France and Poland ended up with a draw wasn't expected. At least I didn't expect it. I definitely didn't expect Poland to end with only one point.

[un_rank]

I remember seeing a tweet where someone talked about the EUROs being predictable after match-day 1 and almost every match since then became almost impossible to predict.

I have been holding out lots of high hopes for the poor performing teams since the stat of the tournament. I expected France to perform better today, maybe England will remain as bad as they have been as well.

I cannot buy a point now even if I tried.

This Euro was very unpredictable from the start. Maybe the only one who predicted a lot of outcomes are the top 4 or 5 of the players that play this competition. I knew that jeremypwr is good at predicting so I expected him to do good. For others I don't know if they are just lucky or they really know the stuff.

Well to be fair, it was predictable atleast until the first round. Except for Slovakia that won against Belgium, everything just went down as most predictions but yeah everything is just more entertaining when it comes to upset results


Anyway, England is pretty boring to watch. Southgate have all those quality players on all position but they couldnt score a single goal on first half, its just dumb to watch and I really hope that France/Austria would kick them out on top 16 playoff

There goes my point and also I need 2-3 changes from Denmark - serbia. This one is looking pretty bad right now as well

I streamed these matches while were playing and I must admit it was a very entertaining experience. The league table kept changing as the matches were being played with France, Netherlands and Austria alternative in the 1st to 3rd position. At some point France will be at the top, later they will drop and Netherland will top the group which will later give way for Austria to also top. In the end Austria finally top the group with France coming second. Indeed no one expected this result because many gamblers felt France will easily win Poland to secure first position. Indeed the Euro is totally weird.

I don't know how long Southgate is England's coach, but it's pretty long. And for as long as I remember, England plays bad. Not only against strong teams, but also against teams that should be weaker then them. Today there wasn't single 100% chance that England created in front of Slovenia goal. Justa boring game that will be quickly forgotten.

[cryptofrka]

I can't believe how boring this group C has been. Glad it's over today and all the worst to England going forward - they should be ashamed of this shit even if they end up winning the EURO.
Greece in 2004 was more offensive than this.

Mainoo finally getting some minutes, I can't stand Man Utd but this guy can be top class.
