End of the road for Modric now surely

Sucks they couldn’t have wion that Nations League

Anyone else watching BBC? Who on earth are the pundits?

I guess Croatia might still advance? is it the top 4 third-placed teams that advance or something?

everything has an end.

Modric is already in a huge decline, as we can see from his Real performance.

Still a slight hope for Croatia but it’s damn near impossible.

He’s had a truly amazing run

Croatia have been great vaule and it’s a shame they won’t win something significant with him there

People underestimate how hard that final hurdle to win a trophy is.

Football heritage is absolutely a thing. Be interesting if Croatia’s next generation will go the extra yard. Feels it’s more defence heavy with Sutalo, Gvardiol and Stanisic.
They desperately need a top forward.

Proper talent drain in the attacking positions

Gonna be rough for them for a good while I’d imagine

no doubt he is one of the greats… a small giant.

too bad football is a team sports (not even a doubles like tennis)… you need 11 very good players plus a deep bench and a great coach to combine as a winning team.

And a little luck too

On a different day they win that final against France

They need us to give Slovenia a hammering. Which isn’t going to happen.

Slovenia need to get stomped by a minimum of 3 goals for Croatia to have a chance. A Czech Republic draw or win also ends Croatia’s chances

Just as I read your post they explained the situation here… yeah I see, slim chances, but you guys can definitely pummel a team that isn’t that strong on paper? could happen.

Nice of Wiki to do that, lol.

Deep run incoming for Croatia, @GC-Maniac :grinning:

Reverse jinx. :point_right::slightly_smiling_face:

Unfortunately for Spalletti he needs a proper striker up front and decent wingers for his teams to get going and Italy have neither.
But I thank God we have Gigi, Bastoni and Calafiori.
Always remember winning Italian teams always start slowly at the beginning of a tournament :wink:
