Croatia v Albania - Wed 19th June, 14:00 | Euro 2024 Group B

[Blue Budgie]

Apart from England who spent the best part of an hour on the back foot trying to defend a one goal lead against Slovenia.

No surprise that the only dull match of the tournament involved us. That's what happens when the coach is dull as dishwater and tactically clueless.

indeed. too bad we can’t skip the third game now. meh.

Selfishly, it’s good that Kovacic and Josko get more rest. You might still beat Italy though.

so if the absolute imbecile in charge didn’t start with geriatric settings….

young players changed the game but it’s all useless now

Feel like your defibrillator was working overtime today

@woollyblue was the only one to predict the draw. Hope you had some money on it!

They play so much during qualifying, I do feel the rest and more Pep time is beneficial. But I do feel for @vanchi and any other Croatians we have here. I know they’re not really the underdogs, but they always feel like it and thus I always cheer for them.

not if he starts a team that doesn’t work anymore.

i’m not delusional, i know we don’t have an amazing squad and so on.
but i want to see proper fight, if they lose but they fought well, i will say well done guys.
but the way we started both games is embarrassing. this first half, it was like
amateurs playing in some village tournament where the winners get some beer and bbq.

Just doing my Eni Aluko impression.

How tall is that German guy compared to Karen Carney?! He also looks like he belongs on The Detectorists.

yep. eternal pain and suffering. but stupid defending one goal lead, they should’ve kept trying to score. :(
