wow I didn’t expect this result and it means so much to us tbh after 2008 they beat us every single game until this groups two wins in a row against very solid Croatia.
This win is really so special
Yeah I agree, the fact that we are still so dependent on perisic in attack is concerning
Our sexennial 1-0 win against Croatia, thank you very much.
It is time for Hakan to fuck off from the NT and Kerem shouldn’t be starting for the NT either atm
Krovinovic >> Modric
Fuck
Damn
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.
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.
Yes me too and then he got injured and the move to atalanta was also probably not the best
In my opinion, Unal fits in perfectly. He was our target to replace Ramos, Schmidt definitely wanted that Kokcu-Unal link.
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
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.
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.
Wait Modric was born in a town called Modrici?
Not true though. Beşiktaş beat Chelsea 0-2 in 2003. Galatasaray got their first win ever in England.
