Croatia are capable of grinding out a result if they can continue to suffocate Brazil's flair. I know which of this pair I'll be supporting in the second half. Croatia?

guinness Posted December 9, 2022 Report Posted December 9, 2022 Croati a been playing for penalties or a breakaway. Does not make for the most entertaining spdctacle. Quote
faraway saint Posted December 9, 2022 Report Posted December 9, 2022 Extra time, only one team looking like winning it, unless it goes to penalties. Quote
elvis Posted December 9, 2022 Report Posted December 9, 2022 If Brazil want to win this they need to take Naymar off . Quote

He's been poor, no doubt (Neymar) but when you have a player who is class, especially getting near penalties, to suggest taking him off, well, shows his football knowledge, next to zero. Quote

BuddieinEK Posted December 9, 2022 Report Posted December 9, 2022 Congratulations to our fellow European country Croatia on a superb result. Tactical masterclass and so resilient. They earned that. Quote

I totally agree with both of your posts. I mentioned earlier on in this thread about how Poland attempted to stifle Argentina and if Scotland had been playing Argentina, I would have fully expected Steve Clarke to have set-up similarly. The Croatia Coach and his Background Team did their homework, came up with a gameplan and it worked. Quote

Klinsmann made a valid point that keeping your best player till the end isn't a good approach. I learned this years ago when captaining my team in a big pool match, holding big players back before realising the game was out of reach. The Sam Torrance approach worked for me, hammer in the big players early and things will be what they will be. Brazil stuck in 21 year old first, missed, and under pressure from then on in, not forgetting Croatia held their nerve to score with their penalties. Quote
Cookie Monster Posted December 9, 2022 Report Posted December 9, 2022 Right Elvis help me out, who's winning the remaining games. Need to beat the bookies this weekend. [emoji16]Sent from my SM-G998B using Tapatalk Quote
faraway saint Posted December 9, 2022 Report Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) Tonight's game will be close IMO. The Dutch have got to this stage almost under the radar. Plenty of history between these two teams, looking forward to it. Edited December 9, 2022 by faraway saint Quote
StanleySaint Posted December 9, 2022 Report Posted December 9, 2022 I fancy Argentina to win this but....... after earlier not sure at all! Quote
