Re: Group C: Spain vs Croatia Discussion

Don't see Croatia creating too many chances, but if they do, they've got the players to score a goal or two.

I just hope we get an exciting match (i.e. Croatia don't collapse), whichever teams go through at the end deserve it.

I've already made a nice bet on - perfect score 2-2. So yea that's my prediction

Would be nice. Croatia would go through as first and Italy as second Very Happy

Too bad this Croatian team is too weak to achieve that.

So, why does Croatia have 9 people on their own half, are they not aware that they need to score to pass?

Actually thanks to Navas Italy didn't top the group. Not such a hero :'(

by Art Morte Mon Jun 18, 2012 10:04 pm

It was as I thought, Croatia didn't create enough opportunities although they played well otherwise. Congrats to Spain, though.

Italy played stupidly, Balotelli was his usual self (a clown) and played with the ball in front of goal trying to look cool. Prandelli was smart over loading the midfield to match Spain's 6 midfielders with 5, but was stupid to continue that style against a traditional Croatian formation. So, Italy like Holland deserve to be eliminated. I will now support Portugal.

GTFO

Italy is my second favorite national team after Holland. I am happy they went through, just don't approve of Prandelli's tactical and player choices.

Spain is a great team what are you talking about. Croatia would have probably progressed had they been in any of the other groups. They are a strong team and could have easily beaten Spain.

by The Sanchez Tue Jun 19, 2012 12:44 am

Spain are a GOAT team. They may bore the audience but they do play the best football. 1-0 wins are Spain's greatest achievements :coffee:

by Gil Tue Jun 19, 2012 12:58 am

Disgraceful team. Hope they get France in the next round.

Really fancy Ribery and Benzema against that scrubbish defense.
