R16 July 1 Croatia v. Denmark [R]

Told you.

 

Man, I want Barca to sign Mbappe but we all know those oil rich merchants wouldn’t do any business with us.

 

Man - I hope Croatia wins this... please not another bunker ball team in the quarters....

 

Here is to a good match with no injuries, own goals or PKs.

Temperature at kickoff will be about 25 degrees with 50% humidity, so manageable.

 

I love Croatia’s away jersey.

 

Mourinho taught them well.

 

Sisto is out and not playing for Denmark vs. Croatia ... and he is not injured but has simply been benched, because he so far has been running circles around himself and slowing down the Danish attack, just as he has been losing the ball too often in dangerous positions ... and Chelsea CB Andreas Christensen is going to play as DM, while Huddersfield CB Mathias "Zanka" Jørgensen will take his place in CB position ... so Denmark is fielding 3 CB's which should make long passes more difficult for Croatia ...

 

I am tempted to get theirs after Nigeria's home kit comes on sale again.

 

Hmmm... The Croatian bandwagon seems to be full... Time to bet on Denmark

 

I got Croatia in this one.

 

Too bad there's no website on the US that lets you bet on this sport.

 

Who wants Lars Von Trier’s country to get knocked out?

 

I'm sorry but Denmark were outplayed in all 3 matches. What you just showed me is that Peru had more possession and more attempts on target. But I don't need to look at the statistics. I watched the game. i also watched the Australia game, and while that game was fairly even, Australia were slightly better in both halves.
None of this matters now, however, as Denmark are about to get a football lesson from the greatest midfield in the world today. Now the Norwegian coach can go home and rest and eat his lutefisk.

 

Luka Modric looks like mini Cruyff.

 

I'm supporting Denmark in this one. I don't fancy England's chances against Croatia if we get through the next round. Mind you I don't fancy us getting through the next round.

 

Funny thing: Croatia and Denmark finished second in their qualifying groups and had to qualify through the playoffs.

The winners of both groups, Poland and Iceland, are already home.

Same is true of the Swiss, second in their group and Portugal, the group winner, already home. If Sweden lasts longer than France in the tournament, it'll be a poker of playoff teams doing better than their group winners.

 

LOL WTF

 

Get in there the Danes!!!

 

Wow, Denmark goal...!!!!!!!!!!!!

0-1.

 

Shocking lead....Denmark 1-0

 

Oh that was just bad luck! Will Denmark take advantage and use it to advance?

 

Knudsen is also new in the Danish line-up for this match, due to his long throw-in's ...and that seemed to work rater well

 

Wow, terrible start for Croatia.
Time for Denmark park the bus?

 

Still a lot of time left...

 

The bunkering's gonna be epic now.

Wow that was terrible defending.
