​@@macaque9612 sexy ladies and money

@@macaque9612 I guess the overall festive mood around these matches and my country, Portugal, rallying around our national team.

Matches like England-Slovenia and France-Poland are the reason why I hate the Euros 🤣

That's what you get when you fail to beat the easiest team of the group. Had they beat albania a draw would have seen both teams go trough

Gleicht dem CL Finale 98/99 von Bayern gegen ManU, oder?

Now they are out after England's mediocre result vs Slovenia. What a shame!

@@ezraezra2928 why should slovenia give up on their chances to make it through for croatia 😂😂

Nothing compared to Italy beating them in 2002, only to see the win snatched from them by Graham Poll

He is a variant to pirlo good eyes to see ppen players

Yeah yeah more compliments to my player

He avenged his sin by putting in a sensational performance. No wonder Thaigo Motta trusted him so much

He made up for giving Spain the win

He should play as midfielder

Not every knight on shining armor overcomes the odds

I don't 😁

I wouldn't feel too bad for him... Pretty sure he won his 6th UCL title this year and he's reached heights with Croatia I bet he never imagined.

I don't

Why?? Forza Italia 🙂

Yeah i remember that penalty kick totti made, the beginning of success....

ya the dive is infamous in Australia

Classic Italy

Well, if they didn‘t score that goal, we would probably play them in the Round of 16, so I‘m pretty happy with it.

@@junaidmohammed280 The "dive" was dissected in slow-mo only to prove it was a penalty. Australians are just butt hurt. Some people just can't accept losing.

I would say that about anyone. The Swiss look good.

No Swiss are not a great team. Swiss against Scotland or Swiss against Germany you never know. They play into Italys hands they will let them have the ball.

Will see 🤫

Imagine talking shit and then your team can't even score 1 against Slovenia. Disgusting League, disband so their fanbase no longer have to suffer please

Of course, and the last 2 matches between them have been draws too. Switzerland is rarely an easy opponent for Italy.

Yeah, the system doesn’t work anymore since the legs aren’t there. New manager & also new selection of players needed. Mostly on the attack. No pace or creativity at all this tournament.

Brother we come back stronger trust me

As an Italian, i think both had historically weak teams. I predicted Italy wouldn't even make it out of the group stage, and I was almost right. Italy doesn't have any notable strikers. Based on the top scorers in Serie A, there is no threat up front for Italy. Of their 3 goals scored in the tournament - none from a striker.

​@@mickfoley1413as in 2021

If your players stop acting like in a drama as they touch one hair of theirs, maybe the match would last 90+ 2/3. Every hair that falls then they start crying. Modric took time at 83' just to be applauded and lost time. Thats what u deserved. Here you go

And you're not even Croatian, that's affection to the sport right there

@@GioCTRL I only care about Croatia because of Luka Modric

He should apologise for having an opinion?

@@Diogo85 For a stupid opinion... YES! 😄

That is absolutely stupid. You don’t apologize for predictions. I don’t understand how people take this personally. Do you make an apology post when you predict matches wrong?

@@Bcurious4eva Nobody should have to apoligize for having tastes different than yours.

Oh god. You are true party pooper.

Who the fuck got it then?

@@dislexyc Modric and Nico Williams

Where did the referee come out with extra 8 minutes?

'no one to blame but themselves' this just isn't true. Yeah they didn't play great but that ref was anything but fair. Giving out yellows to Croatia like Christmas presents and 8 (??????????????) minutes of extra time

@@ivans2404 They committed 18 fouls so 6 yellow cards isn’t that harsh. Maybe 1 or 2 were a cointoss but on the whole I felt the ref got it right. As for the 8 additional minutes I didn’t feel it was particularly egregious. I was expecting at least 6-7 given how many fouls were committed and how often the ball was put out of play. So 8 mins wasn’t too bad imo.

⁠@@bigbadlust4403modric alone took out 2/3 minutes just to walk off the pitch add to it the penalty that needed var, all the faults and bottle thrown at players, what were you expecting if not an enormous quantity of extra time

@@giorgiamoretti6642 🤣🤣🤣

What will be will be, if italy goes far it's thanks to donnarumma being an absolute unit in the goal and players like calafiori giving their all on the field. Though calafiori is out against Swiss

I agree. Qualifying for the next round is just prolonging our agony. And winning the last Euros was just painting over the cracks. Now that paint is cracking and peeling off again

@@boscho5033 I never compare past teams/competitions to the new ones. That's what people don't get, every competition is a brand-new team with its own pros/cons. When people try to draw conclusions about the Italian team/style of play, they are retarded because there is a huge difference between pre-2006 Italian squads and post.

@@boscho5033the past team was strong now many left that's why they suck. they're left with nobodies

Very true, when 16 out of 24 qualify for the knockout stages, you have to be exceptionally bad.

@@zakwan10 fortunately for you, us (Poland) are always exceptionally bad! Not even as bad as usual this time around, but still bad lol. Tbh tough group as well

Also the final table of group b, shows as group a

Spain barely beat Albania and never scored a real goal with Italy, i dont see spain winning this tournament, they are too cute.

@@9jfd1they outplayed Italy though

​@@9jfd1They played with the B-eleven against Albania to rest their starters...

It's true that goal scoring is their potential weakness, but they do look the best going forward to me

@@9jfd1 I have to underline the same comment. They were already finished top of the group with 2 wins. They played their B-team with no stake in the game and still won.

I get you ❤

Bro I swear questa partita mi ha fatto invecchiare 13 anni

@@antoniopuccia8684anch’io 😂

This Italian team stinks. I told my brother I'd rather we didn't qualify as I believe they are that bad. We didn't finish top of the group to qualify and have ZERO reliable strikers. I will happily bow out against switzerland than face portugal. This team is a far cry from 2006 where I was 100% positive they would win the whole thing before the tournament started.

It’s because of their sexual orientation (gay)

They won the Euros with blue shorts. They won 06 World Cup with blue shorts 😂😂

@@EliasRoy that's a good point. I'm gonna reconsider, it just look off tho haha

Yes

They also need Serbia to lose (or Denmark to lose 3-0) and Georgia to lose. It's Hail Mary territory, but Hungary have a chance

England is not beating Slovenia 3:0, the other things are plausible 😅

Hungary has 3 points….

Huge upset, they beat Scotland.

@@jamesberkeley390 Where did the referee come out with 8 extra minutes?

lo, germany basically got 3 goals taken away by that ref. Germany was in control most of the game. Their posession and goal attempts speak a clear language. Switzerland was good in the pressing, but they really didnt have any control of the game, they had resilience assisted by the worst refereeing ive seen in this tournament. Other than that it was the typical one team has to play football, the other is sitting deep and longballing to their fastest players. With a different ref switzerland wouldve been mudded 3:1 or even 4:1, if not clearer, since a goal gives momentum and the ref took any momentum of germany he could.

U sound more butthurt 🤣

@@k4yser Yeah now watch the game again without your bias glasses. Watch what they do with Embolo and then come again crying for penalties and how unfair everything is. Go watch!

@@k4yser When you're up after 30 min and are fine with a draw anyway. What do you think how that influences stats? Huh? Shit, you don't even know the basics of football. Hunting the goal for 60 min. You got to put stats in relations. Switzerland had the better chances and were never in danger until the 90min. Learn some ball.

​@@captainsmoke1612 Wtach the game again without biased glasses towards Switzerland and you will see that you're talking nonsense

Pretenders?! Croatia has a fraction of Italy's population, and has only been allowed to compete since '96 (and since then you've only won the world cup once). Funny how you have never managed to beat these supposed pretenders before, the best you can do is a draw. Since Croatia's independence then have 3 world cup medals (3/7 possible world cups) with barely any resources and a lot smaller talent pool then Italy.

Shame on player to waste time, to fans to throw bottle at players, shame modric for taking 2/3 minutes to walk out of the pitch

all the substitutions (there were sooo many, and dragged out like when Modric handed over the captains arm band, and then walking slowly all the way off), the timewasting from Croatia (at least 1 yellow card was given), the penalty check, people might forget but there were a LOT of stoppages in the second half.

If you count the time wasting, the penalty and other things, 8 min do adds up, if anything, it is strange than in the other matches we didn't see more stoppage time that is how it should be done in big matches like this....also, let me remind you that in the first half there was not time added, and that also made complete sense by looking at how the game went.

​@@aldobonaso3481ok, but why did he then end it at +7min20sec? Fix was in

Go watch the whole game instead of saying “fucking”

@@aldobonaso3481 No there wasn't a lot of stoppages. Havin substitutions take longer when wining isn't a new thing. All the winning sides did it this Euro and Croatia was not any worse. Croatia didn't waste that much time, there was one time a player fell and needed some medical attention and that was mostly it. The VAR check was also about a minute long (quite quick for a VAR check). The Hungary Scotland match had a much longer VAR check and a man almost died on the pitch, yet that was only 10 minutes. But the most important thing to point out which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the ref was routing for Italy, and something which no one who defends him has been able to answer me, is why did he end the game the second Italy scored? If he was truly counting every second so that the match was played for a fair amount of time why not do so after Italy equalized. Italy scored in the 7th minute and 15 to 20 second of injury time. Given that there was some time wasting (besides just goal celebrations) in the injury time itself, it would be fair to say that a minute of actual play should have been allowed, right? But no, instead he just ended the game. So much for being fair to both sides.

I am sure you never complained about the free penalties and free Ballon D'Or that Messi received.

yes, of course, everyone is part of this conspiracy, the whole UEFA, all referees, they want to be nice to Ronaldo (and not to Portugal, they just want to be nice to Ronaldo), not to anyone else of the other 575 players, but Ronaldo :DD Are Klopp and Mourinho and the pundits also parts of this conspiracy, or maybe Biden? :DDD

Jesus Christ some people are so delusional it makes me angry

Rigged? I find that hard to believe.

​@@jamesberkeley390 Exactly. First it was "2022 World Cup was rigged for Argentina", now they think Euro 2024 is Rigged for Portugal? What's next, The 2026 World Cup is rigged for France? Ridiculous.

Get used to it. The new era is beginning with the opportunities at hand Italy was bound to find the back of the net eventually. Croatia is a decent team and love modric but the new era is here for soccer ⚽️.

and what style of play would that be exactly?

What style of football? are we stil here thinking this is Italy style of football? it is not, this is not the 80s anymore, get over it people, they just played poorly because they are not mentally there, and because Spalletti doesn't know what he is doing, but none of the players called up nor the coach play defensively at all at club level.

Di dove sei?

Is there a rulebook on what style of football a team should play?
