Mandzukic sucks and I don't know why the English commentators were jerking him off throughout the game.

Vrsaljko will hopefully replace Srna, yes. It would be good for Srna to rest and for Cacic to try playing with a different RB against an opponent that's not so formidable (Czechia). Srna being Srna though I can see him getting off the plane half an hour before the game and emotionally proclaiming that he will give 120% for his father, for Croatia, etc.

I'd be happy with your team doing well, I enjoyed the game yesterday and would quite like Modric, Rakitic and Kovacic to tear poo poo up. Pity about Lovren though.

He did produce a great cross that should've resulted in a goal

What are the odds that Mandzukic gets subbed? I don't rate him anymore and even with the crosses we've been putting into the box, he doesn't seem to be getting on the end of them. He reminds me of a Croatian Giroud

What a loving disgrace... After the first 60 minutes or so we were two goals up and Czechs looked completely harmless. Their first attempt at goal was... beginning of second half? I don't think that any other team on this tournament was so dominant in both games so far. For a moment I thought we could be European champions. Then Modric's injury and hooligans. Now I don't know any more. We'll lose to Spain, that's for sure... and I don't know whether our players will be able to pick up their spirits sufficiently to defeat the big names in knock-out phase. edit: Can we lose a point because of the hooligans? Like Serbs did in qualifying? Doctor Malaver fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Jun 17, 2016 |

Is ti true that it wasn't "ultras being dumb" but "ultras being dumb to protest against the FA and their corrupt president"?

Yes, absolutely. It's more than that though. The infamous Zdravko Mamic is the boss of Dinamo Zagreb, the First Vice President of Croatian FA and the most influential person in Croatian football. He is a corrupt, aggressive, histrionic thug who repelled many attempts of Dinamo's supporters and ultras to remove him from the club. It's the rival ultras however who probably performed this attack. Under Mamic Croatian football (both the league and the national team) became overly dominated by Dinamo Zagreb, to the detriment of Hajduk Split. Dinamo has like 10 times Hajduk's budget, help of referees when needed, spots in national team to promote players, NT played all the major games in Zagreb although Split has a much nicer field... So Hajduk's ultras metaphorically speaking act like IRA or ETA terrorists -- unable to make a change through legal means they attack the institutions with destruction and terror. Their narrative is that they are sticking it to the man, fighting for their club and city, against corruption, etc. Of course, it's bullshit. Whatever happens it won't affect Mamic and his cronies. If anything it makes them stronger. It's a lose-lose situation for everyone except other teams in group D. edit: Based on currently available information, the ultras weren't from Split, at least not predominantly. Some Facebook posts about planning the interruption leaked to the public and they seem to be Dinamo's ultras. In any case, it was carefully planned. There were rumors about the attack days before the game. Croatian police warned French police in advance. Doctor Malaver fucked around with this message at 09:24 on Jun 18, 2016 |

Dinamo ultras' posts are obvious jokes, especially the ones about flares being already planted at the stadium and stuff. We won't really know anything until the cops publish their names.

It's a conspiracy designed to remove the best teams from this tournament so France can win.

Croatia continues the tournament with only a €100.000 fine for the FA. Whew. The reactions to the hooliganism have been insane for the last couple of days. The running joke is seeing ORJUNA in everything and everyone. You see, the Croatian president (not the president of FA, the President of the Republic of Croatia) accused the hooligans of belonging to an organisation that existed literally a hundred years ago. It was a political/terrorist organization of Yugoslavian nationalists. It wasn't even the recent communist Yugoslavia but the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Are we now the craziest EU state or is Poland still at the top? I was disgusted by the whole situation and afraid that we'll be kicked out of the tournament so I didn't watch any games or follow the media much. Not sure what to expect from tomorrow's game. We are definitely advancing to the next stage. If we're third we're probably going against England, if we're second, we're going against Italy. It would probably be better to be third because after England we'd have a team from group F (Hungary?  ). After Italy we'd have Germany. Modric is injured and won't start so no chance to defeat Spain and end the first in the group.Also the hooligans could attack again - in any of our matches. I hope the players stay mentally strong.

I love cats posted:I guess you were wrong. Haha! Yeah!  Note that we didn't only lack Modrić... The first eleven included Rog and Jedvaj. They are both 20 and they played three games each for the national team. Pjaca is also not the first choice. It's our B team! Our B team with two Dinamo Zagreb players beat Spain, lol. I don't know what's going on! Turns out that our wacky and predominantly despised manager might know a thing or two.

Rog and Jedvaj are also very good. Jedvaj is at the very least better than Vida. How much do all Croatians love Perisic right now?

We love Perišić a lot! He's not a surprise, many expected him to be our most dangerous player. Not sure about Jedvaj, though. Spain's goal is mostly his fault, he left open space for David Silva. But he's young and didn't have much practice with the national team. It's great to have a promising young defender - that's this generation's weak spot.

Bookies are giving only slightly better odds that we will defeat Portugal. I'm surprised - they managed 0 wins in the easiest group of the tournament. Catching up to Hungary for gods sake. I didn't watch them play much though so maybe I missed some dormant strength...
