What makes football such a beautiful sport is that there is work that goes far beyond the goal. Some people do not know how to see beyond the goals and that is why they are not able to appreciate the real football. How you play from the beginning to try to score that goal is also a nice way to analyze and enjoy this wonderful sport.

Is Croatia the Spurs of Europe⁉️ 🤔

[@krisxchirbas9503]

Yes but unlike spurs people somehow find ways to congratulate them after they lose.

Bruh spurs team costs more then croatias team also how do u think they get to the semis and thru the group stage

[@tonino5268]

Is Lens Spurs of France for not winning Ligue 1??? You are really comparing 3,9m country to floppers because they didn't win 2 finals and semi final when in all those games Croatia was not even a favourite?? People really say all kinds of sh*t

[@krisxchirbas9503]

@@tonino5268 spurs weren't the favourite in any of their finals and just like Croatia's population disadvantage, they aren't able to spend as much as the rest of the big 7. Croatia are the spurs of the international scene

Dan Thomas must be very happy. He couldn't even get Croatia's name right in the previous episode.

If Spain don’t get a world class striker by the euros they won’t get past quarters and probs go out earlier at the euros

[@Compulsive-Elk7103]

I'm sure whoever the manager is gonna be of Spain for the next euros , will know more than Daniel McPherson does who is a nobody who comments stupid comments like this online thinking he knows what he's talking about...

[@danielmacdonald721]

@@Compulsive-Elk7103 it’s a fact tho we know they won’t do anything without a proper striker, it’s been seen time and time again. It’s the reason they lost to japan and Morocco at the World Cup. The manager is limited and not his fault Spain have no world class strikers at the minute, which is a shame cause they do have the talent

Croatia has been playing without one since 2018.

When are people gonna start holding modric accountable? When he plays well he gets praise as aging like a fine wine and what not, but no one ever talks about how he constantly disappears in important matches. This match, ucl semi final, world cup final and semi final, literally every euros exit except against Turkey where he was simply unlucky. He's a good player, but why doesn't anyone hold him accountable for consistently failing to show up in important matches?

[@luiscaetano6184]

Because the media loves him. Similar to Messi.

Spain really do need to find a young and upcoming striker!! Like what is the Spanish FA and La Liga doing!! That should be their main target!! And as for the CBs, Laporte should have never played in the semis and finals because he lacked game time at club level and is simply not good enough!! When will they start developing their own CBs!!
