can't believe so many people don't realize that nojok is being sarcastic. as soon as you read this...
They're far from showing the qualities Greece showed in 2004 or even Portugal in 2016. ...it should have been clear, if you legit follow football at all. further more...
Do you think this Croatian team would stand a chance against Argentina 2014, Netherlands 2010, France 2006, Germany 2002? No they wouldn't. ...he's literally listing all the finalists who played bunch of 1-0, 2-1 or ET/pens games and nobody seemed to mind because they were big names / had football posterboys in squad like Messi etc. all of them also lost finals which is a nice little hidden jab xD for example:
- Argentina 2014 literally made finals without ever scoring more than one up against likes of Bosnia, Iran, Nigeria etc. - Netherlands 2010 only +2 vs Denmark, rest all +1 games vs Japan, Cameroon, Slovakia etc. - France 2006 two draws vs Switzerland and South Korea, passed the group by 2-0ing Togo. convincing win vs Spain and then bunch of 1-0's again till the end - Germany 2002 dint take full 9 pts from group with S.Arabia, Cameroon & Ireland. 1-0ed all the games till finals (Paraguay, USA, S.Korea)
either way, even if you dont follow football, this was a dead give away from all the memes...
it was no basic park the bus. It was top notch discipline, organisation, similar to Italians all time best sides. after all, it's the same guy who wrote this earlier:

Congrats to Croatian fans! Game was really exciting once they really started finding their groove (and England slipping in their defense haha). Who thought Croatia was off? For once everyone thought they were pretty strong and considering their path they should have achieved SF, and they did vs England, lots of us thought they were """"""""""""""underdogs""""""""""""""" but it wasn't really clear at all, like maybe 60/40 or something Besides not winning anything and being their first finals, i don't consider Croatia underdogs or even a surprise overall IMO, finals are always 50/50 between 2 good teams, even if one of those seems better, it's 1 game and anything can happen, a shitty day can decide anything Croatia has been showing that they were top 2/4 contenders ever since the group stage. They weren't the underdog against Argentina (anyone who though otherwise is really silly imo) and thus they shouldn't be considered underdog against England either. To be completely fair, this England team has made it this far due to the following factors: - Smart and intelligent tactic used which fully utilised the strength of a group of average players (barring Kane). - Arguably easier group stage and knock-out opponents all the way to the semi. However I think they severely lack the depth required to win a major tournament. Finding more than one way to reliably score is what they should work on. I don't think they can do it with the current squad though. Putting the lack of talents issue aside, as much as I think Southgate deserves at least 70% credit for this World Cup's success (yes, making to the semi should be an achievement for this England squad), I'm not convinced he's the right man for the job, if you want to go on and win titles. His approach to the game works at the youth level (which was where he came from), and is perfect to make an average squad look better collectively, but I don't think it's suitable for a more talented squad which desires to win stuffs. Croatia is a decent team but nowhere near world cup final level. They were dominated by Denmark, Nigeria, Argentina, England and Russia. It took an autogoal and a penalty against Nigeria, a gift from Argentina, the total lack of mental strength from the English who disappeared for no reason whatsoever. Even Iceland pushed them to the last minute. This is the worst run to a final ever. It would be an embarassment for football to see a team this poor win the world cup. They're far from showing the qualities Greece showed in 2004 or even Portugal in 2016. Saying they've showed they were top4 contenders shows an absolutely lack of understanding of football. This world cup will give us a sad low cost star on the jersey. Wow, just wow.. your only worth win was vs Belgium and mostly because your team played like pussies whole second half and stole time wherever you could. Argentina that we destroyed scored 3 goal against you. This amount of hubris beats even English fansnewspapers... He thinks France are amazing cos they scored a set piece against Belgium and then wasted the last 40 minutes of the game pretending to be hurt taking 5 minutes over every throw in. I hope you guys destroy France and show them for the arrogant players they are. Croatia deserve the win so much more. Pretty funny considering the behavior you demonstrated during the semi with this moronic attempt to score a goal during the prolongation, you can shit as you want on mbappe but your whole team is the worst by far. (And his lack of mental fortitude after the equalization is ridiculous) Or the boderline racist comments coming from english footballers/personnalities toward the colombians or your "it's coming home" shit. Damn, and you still open your mouth after that... Btw you just over exagerate so much the "pretending to be hurt" haha. Too bad your side was so shitty they lost against another you already played two prolongation, it would have been great seeing the 3 lions getting destroyed in finals cuz u know, you're so arrogant.
Rage at me all you want, Nojok is making all French fans look bad with his awful posting, baiting and trolling. I'm happy with how England did, I don't need you to tell me our weaknesses, or that our pundits are morons, we were saying the same thing in my house before the game yesterday. Croatia deserved that win. For Nojok to start saying how its terrible that France don't get to walk all over someone better than Croatia is the absolute height of arrogance. If you take his side you are just confirming what I've been thinking, that French fans are falling into the exact same trap as English pundits, assuming they will win when they probably won't.

England should be happy with their semi-final finish. They had a relatively easy run and played well enough to get there but got outplayed by a better Croatian team. The future is looking bright for England though, by the next world cup many of these players will have more experience and be at the peak of their careers.

i think he (not me) included it because they barely got out alive from group that had S. Korea, Switzerland and Togo. I agree that Spain-Brasil-Portugal to eventual loss to Italy is rather nice run for any KO stage, even if the results were bunch of 1-0's. same goes for Dutch and arguably Argentina, even if you discount the red cards and such.
if i was him i would only joke with Germany 2002 but then it would be harder to paint the picture he wanted. a lot of people fell for it so hats off still xD
edit: i do however think he's enjoying the England defeat a little too much. i mean cmon, he's not even German xD
edit2: the sigil of Dalmatia has 3 leopards, not lions btw. the confusion stems from St.Marco the protector of Venice, whose coat of arms had a lion and was a major powerhouse in Dalmatia and Mediterranean in general at the time...

So has anyone comes up with an answer on England try to score a goal with a ball that not only wasn't in play but while the Croatia team was celebrating?

As I said earlier, it is from a (at this WC) very common misunderstanding of the kickoff rule. Most teams somehow believed this hoax, as could be seen with them telling a player to stay in the opponents half while the rest went celebrating. This happened in a large number of games in the group stages.

All those teams doing those "one lone guy must stay in the opponents half, while the rest goes to the town for party" goal celebrations were showing it. And when asked they all cited a not existing rule. And England weren't the first one either to try to 'exploit' the other team not following this stupid shit. Other teams did this before this WC. Yo, surprise.... There is no such imaginary rule and it always gets called off. In short: kickoff is allowed when the ref whistles it and all players are in their own half. The rule is not "you can kickoff as soon as no player is in your half (like them being at the stands celebrating)".

Don't pay attention at comments like Nojok's. That's you're average french football fan that has no objectivity whatsoever, arrogant and blind. The 1st one to say the other nations are trash and always with the good excuses for bad performance.
I just hope that the finals will show us a better quality of game than what the overall WC has shown us, because so far it's a real disappointement

Well Croatia is not like a top team, but this England getting the finals would have been a very big reward for a bad team, England used to have great teams but this one is far from those.
|
I think France has been quite impressive, i like their football
"Lyrical football" (as we meme here in SA) is not the only way to play it, not every team needs to do 500 passes to be considered "football", seems like Guardiola made everyone forget that yes, teams can play different and is still our beautiful game
This France is all about being effective, great defense and a midfield that controls the tempo of the game, with Pogba distributing the ball around, Kante recovering and cutting plays, being the first pass and Griezmann giving the orders and orchestrating how to attack, Hernandez and Mbappe being fast and incisive.
Deschamps has no problems whatsoever taking out the 9 and putting another defender if the game needs it and call me an asshole or something, but time wasting is part of the game and if i needed i would do it.
Defenders are as importants as forwards and they can shine too, people forget that, balon d´or being only for forwards all the time doesn't help either (not that i'm against the choices besides Messi instead of Iniesta in 2010)

Italian bookmaker has Croatia win at 4,75. Conflicted about putting 100 euro on it.

Even at 10 I wouldnt bet for Croatia, France is way too strong atm, they have top tier players at every spots and in wayyy better shape. And Croatia is exactly the type of team France is the most comfortable playing against. Croatia winning is close to zero.

Could "we"... I don't want to be include with a guy who only cares about our "reputation" when I am responding to another who constantly shits on our team while his side is not pretty either. You like being insulted, fine but not me. Btw, I didn't even talk about Croatia except their win would not bother me that much as they are outsiders with really great players, get off your high horse.

Damn, and you still open your mouth after that... Btw you just over exagerate so much the "pretending to be hurt" haha. Too bad your side was so shitty they lost against another you already played two prolongation, it would have been great seeing the 3 lions getting destroyed in finals cuz u know, you're so arrogant. First Nojok, now you, can we get a break from the hate/arrogance ? Our reputation is already not so good, could we try to be better and humble ? Could "we"... I don't want to be include with a guy who only cares about our "reputation" when I am responding to another who constantly shits on our team while his side is not pretty either. You like being insulted, fine but not me. Btw, I didn't even talk about Croatia except their win would not bother me that much as they are outsiders with really great players, get off your high horse.
I'm only shitting on your team cos of that guy. Its just a bit of banter that started because he's been dissing england since day one. Don't take it personally lulz. Also I never said England were good or would win anything, we're pretty bad but worked well as a team given our ability. I still want Croatia to win because of Nojok though (and I hope they win ugly because of a shitty refereeing decision or something cos that'll really piss him off).
sharkie dude, sorry but can't I just carry on trolling the French until this tournaments over? I know you want peace and love or something but I'm just a lonely old football fan with nothing to do except revel in my own bitterness at having exited in the sf.

Kind of odd that the press is remembering Thierry Henry and Didier Deschamps. When they were last together they won the WC. Except Henry is with Belgium so I don't think that works this time around.

And Croatia is exactly the type of team France is the most comfortable playing against. Croatia winning is close to zero. I agree tha Croatia is very comfortable to play against for France, its style just fits. Could you guys elaborate on why you think so?
