Ramos , carvajal, nacho and isco are all over the age of 26 which is not young at all. The only young players are asensio and ceballos under age of 23

He was going to do that ronaldo celebration. Then, when he jumped, he realised that it would be embarrassing to copy it. So he made an improvisation.

I still laugh at the Barca fans who were saying that Madridistas will have it very tough with Enrique, and look at the lineup 6 players from Madrid, 1 from Barca, lol

Gaya is actually good. I was wondering why Enrique doesn't play Alba but apparently he didn't play Alba much in barca too. Drama?

If Spain had stayed in WC and scandal didn't happen with their manager then we would have seen a different final.

Didn't see this one coming. I expected Spain to compete well after their confidence builder win in England but Croatia were a no-show today. One thing for sure, Lucho got them turned around pretty quickly since the apathetic displays in the World Cup.

Dinamo Zagreb, Croatia 0 3

This is not the same team that came 2nd in the world cup. Mandzukic doesn't play for country anymore and neither does Subasic. Lovren is missing as the key defender and we don't have a good solution for RB and LB positions following the Vrsaljko injury.

Not really. Croatia only go the the final cos they were on the weak side of the WC knockout stage.

Can't believe people still go with weak side of draw like it's our fault lmao. You play with what you get, you are happy when your team gets easier matches. Plus it's WC, you have to be on the level every game, and we were.

So what was the 3-0 game? A friendly?

Barraca 8 years ago

Barcelona, France 0 245

Croatia were quite lucky to get to the WC final. 1st match vs Nigeria was actually very bad, they won thanks to an own goal and a penalty but failed to shoot on target in open play during 92 minutes. Against Argentina, 2 of 3 goals came from huge mistakes by Argentinian goalie, which literally ended his international career. In the knockout stage, they won twice on penalty shootouts vs average teams. Against France, after N'Zonzi came in, if not for Lloris' blunder the final could have ended 5-1 or 6-1 since they had entered the same dynamic as yesterday vs Spain .
To me, Croatia and Modric (didn't see him in the WC final, didn't see him yesterday) are totally overrated.

tawqir 8 years ago

Arsenal, Jamaica 4 548

Obviously you would say modric is overrated as a Barca fan. a true fan of the sport would know modric has been class since his Tottenham days. Also you act like France should have won 5-1 when the referee was on their side giving them 2 cheap goals and not giving Croatia a penalty

Barraca 8 years ago

Barcelona, France 0 245

Any excuses for yesterday too? 29% ball possession and 6 goals received mean Croatian midfield was nowhere to be seen. And you still think Modric is Ballon d'Or quality! Wake up...

@Croatian Everyone was saying that about England though and it's true but when people say it about Croatia it's not true? It's a fact that all the best teams knocked each other out on the other side of the draw. Croatia and England wouldn't have got as far as they did if it wasn't for that draw.

I don't cry about Spain robbing us in 2012, Nishimura fucking us over in 2014, losing to Portugal in 117', or fact that France got two very favourable decisions in final after we dominated them.

No one fucking cares lol. You just look like crybaby We beat Spain in 2016 with our B team, now they beat us with our C defence. Fair to me, happened to every team.

@Barraca, please don't make yourself look like an idiot. We won our group with ease, routinely beating Nigeria, crushing Argentina, beating Iceland with B team. Beating Denmark deservedly - Denmark isn't average team at all, wtf? Beating Russia in front of their crowd. Beating England, again deservedly.

Caballero made one mistake, not two, and also, that same Argentina scored 3 goals against you. Denmark is average? They were on 20 unbeaten in a row, with one of most in-form IN players in the world. Not to mention you went like pussies against Denmark.

and for the last, LMFAOOO. You didn't mention Griezmann's dive or questionable penalty? Or Croatia's dominance up to that point?

Just shut up please. Guess Modric was overrated in 4 of RM's CL wins too?
