Thank you Montella, you are my best friend

You are the clean sheet keeper, you are the legend

[–] laki1986@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This loss is completely on Daliban and his fucking tactical inabilities. Once Modrić retires, he should go with him.

[–] JakeTheTurk@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Daliban lmaooo

[–] mrbrownl0w@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Kerem is somehow involved in every position but can't finish to save his life lol

Best player of the game by far was İsmail Yüksek. I have never seen Modric Brozovic Kovacic be dominated by one man, and he was everywhere.

In the face of this level of racism we are children. This is a work of art.

[–] joffrey-scott@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Ismail Yuksek owned Modric-Brozovic-Kovacic

[–] Caesar21Octavoian@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Merih is done dude is playing in Saudi Arabia at 27 🙈

[–] wavesofthought@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Dark horse? (I’m ready to be hurt again)

[–] sherlockbutholmes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

and this team stil doesnt have a real striker and arda güler.

its time for dark horses to rise again (im ready to go mentally ill)

[–] Lolejimmy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Kokcu also wasn't playing who's usually the progressive player of the team, him arda and a proper striker and Turkey is back in business 2008 euro style.

Horrible game in general from Croatia, but first half was unacceptable. No one's running, no one's trying, no one can SHOOT on target...what? Did we even have 2 shots on goal the whole game? Pathetic.

The only semi-solid player was Brekalo, and that's saying something.

[–] Trbek@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Terrible match by the team. Barišić should really be a third choice LB at best.

Majer had a good match, we played much better when he was subbed in.

Luckily two teams progress from the groups so hopefully we secure a spot.

about right

[–] HeIIbIazer23@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Off to bocanje, not like i care about this sport...any good picigin tournaments on tv?

[–] bishey3@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Great job from us. Very strong first half. Then we lost the possession in the second half completely but we stood firm. Even got the chances to score the 2nd. Deserved victory!

[–] Emperor-of-Milfgaard@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Samet & Abdulkerim > Merih and Caglar. Also props to Montella. The players really wanted to fight for him as opposed to when Kuntz was coach. His tactics were on point too. Ismail Yuksek MOTM.

[–] Caesar21Octavoian@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Merih is done dude is playing in Saudi Arabia at 27 🙈

[–] No_Nothing101@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

We cant qualify without drama.

Congrats to turkey

[–] Caesar21Octavoian@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

In the second half they were good but unlucky

[–] xSyndicate58@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The last 30 minutes were a nightmare, so happy that it turned out in favour of us. Also, it was Turkey's first ever win against Croatia in history (accounting the Euro 2008 quarter finals as a draw after 120 minutes)

Edit: Oh yes, somehow I forgot 2018 WC Qualifiers

[–] No_Nothing101@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I will never understand why he left his box.

[–] mrbrownl0w@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I think I lost 5 years watching the second half

[–] BananasAreBoss@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Croatia were surprisingly shit wow

[–] Caesar21Octavoian@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

In the second half they were good but unlucky

[–] BeautifulAlert5740@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

he’s out of form but he’s not ass. Stop it. You know what ugurcan is capable of. Especially a besiktas fan.

[–] serktheturk10@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Tbh he is good when confident. He definitely is lacking that confidence and his distribution might be the worst of the NT keepers. Maybe he will improve with a bit more time, especially cause the starting keeper has been rotated a lot lately.

That last 35 yard shot from modric sums up his NT career. He singlehandedly ( atleast half of the time) almost got them over the finish line.

He should have been born 5-6 years later.

I still think that İrfan Can should've at least gotten called up but I'm trusting in Montella's decisions for now

[–] Bolte_Racku@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Dalić is really going to play the same tactic with any team against any opponent huh.

Gvardiol was epic and also Modrić has all my respects. He realised even in the first half that when our fullbacks overlap with the wingers the wing loses on potency and he adjusted by overlapping the full backs. He just sees everything

I love Croatia

[–] NikoKboyaobir@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

At this point Gvardiol is our best attacker

[–] cib_vk228@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Terrible overall, Gvardiol and Majer only to play on somewhat decent level. Dalić flaws exposed again.

Congrats to Turkey.

[–] spritskoeken@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

When was the last time Croatia lost at home? Surely that must be something rare and exotic.

[–] CR7_LM10@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wasn’t expecting much from us considering our injuries in attack and I’m still surprised how bad we were

When will dalic finally go?

I can sleep easy tonight knowing we are first place 😊

[–] asir100@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I really think we (Turkey) played super well, looking forward to more.

[–] iiciphonize@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

What the hell went wrong man

[–] Lolejimmy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

he's useless without a fast forward in the lineup to make use of his balls but with Arda it may just work

[–] xSyndicate58@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It's the same at Galatasaray. Guy has huge talent, but 0 brain and situational awareness. Often makes dumb decisions unfortunately

[–] ForwardIntern6254@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Gallipoli campaign (colorized)

[–] CrveniMarboro@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Lessss goooo, congratulations to Turkey from Split! All of Dalmatia was with you tonight!🇭🇷🇹🇷❤️❤️!

[–] No_Nothing101@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You lead a sad life.

Enjoy losing to gorica. 🤣

[–] CrveniMarboro@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

8 Balija se gura ispred nasih finih decka iz Splita. Krovinovic >> Modric

[–] Icemna16@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

What a match İsmail Yüksek had, POTM for sure
