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.

Honestly, the end of one great era for Croatia. Now, let's hope we at least qualify

[–] anex44@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Absolute garbage of a performance.

[–] Crisbo05_20@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Latvia the dark horse, ends up going to play offs imagine lol.

[–] Izaija_Tomas@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

E tako, kad su govnarima prema navijacima i Osjecanima zasluzen poraz, nek se ni ne vracaju u Osijek

[–] exemplarypotato@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Seeing Cenk at left back made my eyes bleed once again. We did not pass the midfield once through the left and the coach didnt sub him the whole match. Happy about the win but wtf Montella? We basically attacked with 9 men

[–] Bolte_Racku@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Brozović was one of the best players on the team, what were you watching

[–] CrveniMarboro@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

When you force 8 Bosnians in the NT and replace your real Croatians from Split and celebrate Serbocommunist fans for yelling at him this happens, hope we don't qualify and lose every match!

[–] Toni112007@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ajde ne seri.

[–] floridali@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

i didn't hear about this before. who are those players?

[–] SuperSanti92@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I thought Croatia were supposed to be decent? Well played Turkiye

Piss poor effort, wonder what Dalić will say

[–] Crisbo05_20@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Absolutely awful game. But well we lacked good players and outside livaković and 2/3 other players nobody played good. Livaković messed up badly coming out of the box. GG Turkey, hope we play better against Wales.

It is time for Hakan to fuck off from the NT and Kerem shouldn't be starting for the NT either atm

[–] mrbrownl0w@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] No_Nothing101@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You lead a sad life.

Enjoy losing to gorica. 🤣

[–] aceace87@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aaand Turkey loses to Latvia at home...

Its just nature...

[–] Crisbo05_20@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Latvia the dark horse, ends up going to play offs imagine lol.

[–] cib_vk228@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

First ever home defeat in euro qualifiers

[–] blaze_pizza@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ugurcan is a terrifying goalkeeper, lets the ball slip out of his hands, mistimed when to come out, parried a ball that was going out into a corner which almost turned into a penalty, I genuinely thought he would somehow let in that last Modric shot at 90+6

Good win but I have zero confidence in him as goalie

[–] Icemna16@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Strananach@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Issue is more the fact our top players like Oršić, Kramarić and Perišić were all injured

Oršić? He was a top player a year ago, and when he was, Dalić never played him.

Also Krama is selfish af and wank for us most of the time.

[–] matija17k@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Gospa nije bila na našoj strani

[–] sittingduck__@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

In my opinion, Unal fits in perfectly. He was our target to replace Ramos, Schmidt definitely wanted that Kokcu-Unal link.

How many matches have Turkish teams played in England in those 177 years? Fifteen perhaps?

On the other hand, Man United pretty much plays in European competitions every year. So assuming that they play 10 European matches on average per season (five of which at home so 5 x 40 years), that'd result in United's unbeaten streak getting broken after roughly 200 matches.

Nisam rekao da su oni zasluzili pobjedit nego da smo mi zasluzili izgubit. Nije nijedna ekipa zasluzila bodove veceras al oni su bar nekakav trud ulozili, nasi su igrali priko kurca cilu utakmicu.

[–] exblue@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not true though. Beşiktaş beat Chelsea 0-2 in 2003. Galatasaray got their first win ever in England.

[–] folieadeux6@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’s great off ball and bad on the ball, but with Galatasaray the decision is “get the ball to Icardi” and he’s incredible at it.

[–] CrveniMarboro@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Krovinovic >> Modric

[–] laki1986@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

While it is true that some key players where missing, we have also sucked offensively for a very long time and our coach doesn’t seem to be the guy to change things.

[–] CR7_LM10@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

After the 2018 WC apart from a few games I haven’t really been impressed by him

Despite finishing 3rd in the WC we still played terrible the entire tournament apart from the Canada game

[–] 50lipa@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Going into this game i looked at Turkey squad... missing three starting center backs in Söyüncü, Demiral and Kabak due to injury, missing midfielders Ucan/Güler, missing winger Cengiz Ünder who is their most dangerous offensive player, full backs, missing their first choice goalkeeper Günok...

They come with a completely different squad and new manager and they fucking played us off the field in the first half, defended well in the second and got away with a win, well deserved!

[–] Caesar21Octavoian@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yes me too and then he got injured and the move to atalanta was also probably not the best
