Euro: Group D: Croatia vs. Czech Republic, 6/18/2021

[PanniniClaus]

Lovren is prone to these types of things... Rebic could have cushioned that 5 hole.

 

[Czechboy]

Can a Czech fan educate me please?

Who is our starting goalie? Is he in the tourney or home injured and we are playing the 'backup'?

 

[HajdukSplit]

I would fire Dalic at HT but no hope for that happening

 

[hatterson]

Clear foul on the bit of a check there, but absurd acting.

Dude just makes moronic decisions. After the WC he fell in love with his tactical abilities and basically outsmarts himself every other game.

Vaclík is the number 1. Pavlenka was supposed to maybe take over depending on performance but got injured right before the tournament started.

 

[Czechboy]

As a hockey fan, it's always hard to watch the soccer 'injuries'....

I'd like to say Jankto is a big drama queen, however, this happens in every match.... it's clearly a part of culture.

Main reason I only watch when Czechs play.

 

[ScottishCanuck]

Thought that was a good tackle on first glance but he took the man first. Ref is having a decent game.

Is it fair to say

a: neither is Petr Cech quality
b: the difference between the 2 is marginal

Or is the Pavlenka injury a big loss?

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

There's a distinct "yesterday's team" vibe about Croatia. My friends from Hrvatska, don't go gentle into that good night, rage against the dying of the light.

 

[StevenF1919]

Nice to see Schick having himself a tournament. After his time at Sampdoria I was convinced he was going to be a star.

 

[Aladyyn]

Is it fair to say

a: neither is Petr Cech quality
b: the difference between the 2 is marginal

Or is the Pavlenka injury a big loss?

Yes to both. The big question mark and worry was that Vaclík lost his starting spot at Sevilla this season but he's always been high quality for the NT and that hasn't changed.

Thank you!

What about Slavia's keeper? He's been absolutely lights out every time I've seen him.

 

[GKJ]

That was made to look easy

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Lol out of no where.

 

[Czechboy]

There is that Czech defending a lead thing that worries me...

The one Czech defender slipped
The goalie 'maybe' could've touched it a bit

Gorgeous goal by Perisic!

I'm actually happy it's tied after 50 minutes! Curious if Croatia tilts the field?

 

[Albatros]

Coufal not very impressive there.

 

[Aladyyn]

What about Slavia's keeper? He's been absolutely lights out every time I've seen him.

Decided not to go as he's focused on getting back to 100% after Roofe's murder attempt.

 

[robertmac43]

Croatia simply doesn't look good enough.

 

[Czechboy]

what's the report on Jankto? What kind of player is he?

He's driving me a bit crazy but maybe I just don't see the brilliance in him?

 

[Czechboy]

Croatia simply doesn't look good enough.

I feel the Crotian attack is much crisper and organized than the Czech one.

 

[Islay1989]

Croatia simply doesn't look good enough.

If they don't look good enough in the 2nd half how do the Czech's look like?

 

[Czechboy]

Schick is out?

I assume we're going for a tie?lol

 

[Incubajerks]

If they don't look good enough in the 2nd half how do the Czech's look like?

True, but right now they are happy with a point, i don't think Croatia can be happy with a draw today.
