First game
They played a team who parked the bus and they found hard to break down
Just like France when Australia played them
V Croatia
They missed a couple in the first half
Gave the lead away when Caballero had a moment
Nearly equalised straight away but the Cro keeper got lucky
10 to go let another one in after a great strike from outside the box from Modric
Then imploded in injury time chasing the game to conceed another
Dont think for a minute that were not in that game the other morning
They were they got reamed for missing their chances
These guys deal with criticism on a scale our snow flakes cant fathom
They be back
I hereby propose a ban on the good Member for crimes against Griffs greatness.
Even Hazaed did the Griff celebration after his 2nd goal.
Hail Griff.
That doesn’t surprise me. Everything I’ve read on them, plus watching both their games is that they simply don’t know what they’re doing. They have zero cohesion, and it’s basically ‘kick it to Messi, and hope he can beat 2-3 players on the edge of the area and curl it in from there.’ Even their coach came out and said he can’t figure out to make them play together. Maybe playing Romero instead of Caballero would have been a good start, and that’s even before his **** up.
Their defense is a joke and bare minimum for a country with that much talent is that they should be vying with Croatia for top spot, not struggling to squeak through in a group with Iceland & Nigeria.
Argentina, France, Germany and Brazil all have the players that on their day, could win any/all of their group games 4-0 and nobody would blink an eyelid. They have multiple superstar players.
Meanwhile the teams with good ethic, tactics and heart are getting results like Russia, Sweden (probably deserved more), Nigeria, Iceland, Japan, and you could probably even add us in there with our performances against decent opposition.
That’s the beauty of the World Cup I guess, all these players from lesser nations are playing for pride.
What’s the saying? A champion team will beat a team of champions.
Well back to the sweeps.
Thanks - it was fun. Look forward to getting another shit team in the next Euros
