Great response that replies to nothing in my comment, possibly because nothing i said in it is wrong. Seems like i was right and hit a nerve to provoke a "cope" response. You won, be happy.
1 0 ReplyWhat a shit rendition of our anthem
1 0 ReplyJust sing it like a normal human being instead of doing.. that
1 0 ReplyWhat happened to Maksimir?
1 0 ReplyTurkey... we meet again.
1 0 ReplyDid I mention I hate Hakan with every single fiber in my body?
1 0 ReplyWe’re totally gassed. Will be difficult 15 minutes.
1 0 ReplyThis whistling is pathetic just like the stupid Laserpointers at the africa cup.
1 0 ReplyNever a penalty
1 0 ReplyWe're not perfect but still there is a lot of things that are working good today. Think positive my friend
1 0 ReplyLooks like it was just offside
1 0 ReplyTurkey absolutely deserves this win. Croatia abysmal.
1 0 ReplyFair enough but I've been disappointed too often so I'm generally pessimistic when it comes to thw national team
1 0 ReplyCakir wants the red card doesn't he
1 0 ReplyNah, we have a negative number of players who can actually finish a chance...
1 0 ReplyCroatia stepping up now, let's see how this ends
1 0 ReplyFuck me
1 0 ReplyActually I was trying to say that Croatia is the lucky one
1 0 ReplyLol you sent bad energy
1 0 ReplyMajer suck my dick, fuckin finish that! Gvardiol is a god...
1 0 ReplyThis Bijelo Dugme kid they subbed in scares me. Mf already almost scored damn.
1 0 ReplyBro I'm sorry but vrigin Mary doesn't want us to score tonight
1 0 ReplyBro if Ferdi is injured I'm gonna burn this shitty ass worthless team down.
1 0 ReplyI know in the past few years we needed so many chances to score that i lost confidence that they will score even with big chances
1 0 ReplyGood use of VAR
1 0 ReplyBecause there are still a lot of problems that the team has. I liked the centerbacks and kardioglu a lot today but the rest wasnt really qualifying for praise imo
1 0 ReplyNo way that is a pen
1 0 ReplyIm glad it wasn't a penalty. We need to win or get a draw fair and square.
1 0 Replywatch us concede in overtime 😬
1 0 ReplyHe is shit for us. Always
1 0 ReplyThat time wasting is so fucking unnecessary do they all want to get banned for the next match
1 0 ReplyWatch the ref blow the whistle at exactly 5 mins
1 0 ReplyThanks, I missed that it was originally called a penalty.
1 0 ReplyImagine if Modric scored that, upper right hand corner or something lol
1 0 ReplyNever a pen
1 0 Replyno way should that be a penalty
1 0 ReplyIs that really a penalty???
1 0 ReplyNot a pen, but such a shitty angle for var review that they gave him
1 0 ReplyAnd THAT’S what VAR is for. Quick check, Penalty or play on
1 0 ReplyIs there a lore reason as to why Croatia simply doesn't score ?
1 0 ReplyYesss Croatia
1 0 ReplyBertuğ has talent but he is already a little bit too cocky, hope he grows up because we don't need another "manliest man" after the likes of Arda Turan or Burak Yılmaz really
1 0 ReplyShocking decision
1 0 Replythe handball rule really needs some serious reform. Nobody can tell what is and isn't a handball anymore
1 0 ReplyOf fucking course gtfo
1 0 ReplyI don't know about the rules, but it definitely shouldn't be a pen
1 0 ReplyThats not a penalty
1 0 ReplyIma boga
1 0 ReplyI agree with that but at the same time we should start giving more chances to younger players. He also lost his starting position in Real which is normal since he is already 38.
1 0 ReplyBut honestly, that's a shoulder either way.
1 0 Replynice
1 0 Replyinsane bottling lol
1 0 ReplyThe issue with Croatia is that we have no killer instinct, no attack... I miss Mandzukic
1 0 ReplyAnd we are back to before 2018 Croatia
1 0 ReplyThanks for VAR technology. Imagine if that was penalty lmfao
1 0 ReplyNema boga
1 0 ReplyShowing him the angle where his arm and chest are in line with camera is hilarious, fuck off
1 0 ReplyAny young and upcomming strikers / CFs worth their salt in your nation's ranks ? If yes, then one day 4-3-3 is doable.
1 0 ReplyThats not a fucking penalty if that stands just stop football
1 0 ReplyInsane and worrying that he was even sent to look at that. Glad common sense prevailed.
1 0 ReplyTerrible call, if it stands after VAR I will lose it
1 0 ReplyBreaking news, VAR helped Taylor overturn a call 😱😱😱😱
1 0 ReplyLmao if we get bailed out by a last minute penalty
1 0 ReplyNot a penalty
1 0 ReplyNow we are playing hoofball fucking embarrassing
1 0 ReplyIf you get a red card it doesn't really help
1 0 ReplyBetter team won
1 0 ReplyYeah, var did its job and bailed taylor out of a wrong (understandable but still) decision.
1 0 ReplyBit he wasn’t really good today and honestly he hasn’t been our best player for a while now.
1 0 ReplyGood shit, props to Montella and nearly all of the guys. Not easy to win against Croatia, never mind an away game.
1 0 Replyfucking legit respect
1 0 ReplyRespect to Modric for playing 90 minutes at 38 years. One of the most likable and honorable players of his generation.
1 0 ReplyGotta say, we should learn to score. We're lucky the final score was 1-0 given how shit we played. Most croats in this sub are not making excuses for this loss though
1 0 ReplyCakir got a yellow for time-wasting in 68th minute and just continued to timewaste because he knew nothing would happen lol
1 0 ReplyNo offense for Croats. Just this guy cried whole match about ref, I saw him multiple times. Im saying same when Turks are saying "we lost because of ref". Love to hrvatska :)
1 0 ReplyAbsolute moron lmao, got yellow in 12th min for literally no reason
1 0 ReplyLose? He didn't lose it, he gave it away for free lol
1 0 Replywtf is Livakovic doin here
1 0 ReplyWhy is Cenk Tosun not starting?
1 0 ReplyAwesome looking stadium....
1 0 ReplyWe've played Croatia so many times that I've seen Modric more than most of my relatives in the last 15 years
I love him tho
1 0 ReplyLethargic
1 0 ReplyDo we still have gospa with us tho
1 0 ReplyNo O'Fence, but why would they build such a small new stadium?
1 0 ReplyThey (NK Osijek) won't fill this most of the time!
1 0 Reply
Nah someone look into Livaković I am sure he has some kind of money on this game
1 0 ReplyLivakovic has conceded every time he went from the goal line.
1 0 ReplyLol why games between these 2 teams always feel extra. Id call it a derby
1 0 ReplyImpressed by turkey how much they are running but I’m wondering how long will they be able to keep this up
1 0 ReplyHe is shit. He has been shit for some time now.
1 0 ReplyI feel crazy saying this but ... we deserve this.
1 0 ReplyOoof Livakovic, great pass and finish though
1 0 ReplyNo Kokcu?
1 0 ReplyThe rendition of the anthem is... strange.
1 0 ReplyBadly? Haven’t seen any news updates
1 0 ReplyMinor injury.
1 0 Reply
Yes we are
1 0 ReplyAwful
1 0 ReplyThey (NK Osijek) won't fill this most of the time!
1 0 ReplyAway to Türkiye he was good…
1 0 ReplyBozovic why brother
1 0 ReplyAbsolute moron lmao, got yellow in 12th min for literally no reason
1 0 ReplySadly he is not his old self. And even when he was good, he never performed good in the NT
1 0 Reply
Minor injury.
1 0 ReplyPromising start but I will still be very surprised if we end up with a point with this roster here.
1 0 ReplyHonestly apart from that one game against France where he kept mbappe quiet, stanisic hasn’t been really great
1 0 ReplyAway to Türkiye he was good…
1 0 Reply
Samet has played 45 minutes total this season
1 0 ReplyWe are playing horribly again. Croatia back to being itself.
1 0 Replyc'mon kerem you are better than that
1 0 ReplyShocking start
1 0 ReplyA point would be great for us but I don't like the lineup, especially the defence + gk
1 0 ReplyIt's like I'm watching first game again
1 0 ReplyWe are playing so bad I'm actually surprised, and I expected us to play bad
1 0 ReplyIt has been 15 mins yet we are still not looking terrible, what sorcery is this?
1 0 Replyit's coming. it's inevitable.
1 0 ReplyYeah first match was like this too
1 0 Reply
Man, I love Gvardiol
1 0 ReplyDecent start for Turkey
1 0 ReplyDeserved
1 0 ReplyWe aren't finished. Some of our key players are missing like Perisic, Kramaric and Ivanusec.
1 0 ReplyBoth.
1 0 Reply
We need to score soon while we are still able keep up this pace. Really can't afford to miss those chances.
1 0 ReplyInjured
1 0 ReplyAnnual Crotia-turkey match
1 0 ReplyHe's been conceding so many easy goals for the past 12 months (Hatay game as the most recent example), if he was the Croatia gk we would be 0-1 up right now
1 0 ReplyIdemo vatreniiiii
1 0 ReplyInjured
1 0 ReplyBadly? Haven’t seen any news updates
1 0 ReplyMinor injury.
1 0 Reply
Can Turkey keep up this pace for the entire match?
1 0 Replywe have a tendency to fall off after 30 min, start bad into the 2nd half and then a decent final 10-15 minutes
1 0 ReplyTrue I forgot about that since pretty much our entire team was terrible in that game
1 0 Reply

1 0 Replyit's coming. it's inevitable.
1 0 ReplyYeah first match was like this too
1 0 Reply
Livaković should be forbidden from running out for the ball.
1 0 ReplyFor real man guy sucks offensively and defensively
1 0 ReplyJust give them the goal, idc maybe it fires us up.
1 0 ReplyHe literally creates his own chances with his explosive natural athletic talent and you're whining about it. He's off the ball play very good too. If he also capitilazed every chance he had we would've watching him at Real Madrid lmao. There's reason why he has a transfermarkt value of 17 million. Kerem is good.
1 0 ReplyKidding right? Not saying he is an overly talented fella but he is confident and making a difference plus same goes for Yilmaz. Credits to Icardi for the confidence boost
1 0 ReplyHes wasting so many chances even against manU and in general
1 0 Reply
We love to score once the other team has scored first 😂
1 0 Reply
We are very sloppy so far
1 0 ReplyYes we are
1 0 ReplyThere is a nice energy to it every time. The fact that we happen to play them regularly for some reason definitely adds to it.
1 0 Reply
Yeah first match was like this too
1 0 ReplyOur counters are so ass because we have no players that can actually run lmao
1 0 ReplyLet's trade. Run is all some of ours can do :)
1 0 Reply
Where is Kramarić?
1 0 ReplyInjured
1 0 ReplyInjured
1 0 ReplyBadly? Haven’t seen any news updates
1 0 Reply
lmao wasn't that a red?
1 0 ReplyI have no hope of us scoring, all our main forwards are injured
1 0 ReplyPathetic display so far from us
1 0 ReplyBarisic 😭
1 0 ReplyAs an Ajax fan, I will be focussing entirely on Sutalo.
1 0 ReplyBarišić and Brekalo have no business being here.
1 0 ReplyYeah this is on Brekalo. Can't lose ball like that against a team which plays on counter offensive.
1 0 ReplyLose? He didn't lose it, he gave it away for free lol
1 0 Reply
Let's trade. Run is all some of ours can do :)
1 0 ReplyNot one player playing well.
1 0 ReplyL fucking Mao. But yeah, Turkish counters are from another dimension compared to ours
1 0 ReplyLol Livakovic was nowhere near
1 0 Replylmfaaaaao
1 0 ReplyFucking braindead keeper
1 0 ReplyGuys like Melnjak or Goda are much better than current Barišić
1 0 ReplyWe love to score once the other team has scored first 😂
1 0 ReplyHow’s it looking? Missed the first half?
1 0 ReplyModric, magician
1 0 ReplyFerdi is solid and Bardakci is fine, he's been decent for Gala in the CL and league this season, but S. Akaydin is like our 4th choice CB, Cenk Ozkacar was also really poor the last time he was picked
1 0 ReplyOur attack is even more dire than usual
1 0 Replywhat are these overreactions in the comments bruh have you people never watched Croatia in qualis
1 0 Replyyees daliban only atacking threat off nice
1 0 ReplyYeah I saw that coming, well deserved goal if not offsides. Turkey are playing like they actually want to be there.
1 0 ReplyWtf is livakovic doing???
1 0 ReplyIs Brekalo ever onside?
1 0 ReplyWe're also a country of 4 million football managers.
1 0 Replythese boys better wake the fuck up at half time
1 0 ReplyAlmost forgot this was on! What I miss
1 0 Reply"Best midfield in the world" playing like ass again
1 0 ReplyBro thought he is a sweeper keeper
1 0 ReplyZašto? Why ve lozing?
1 0 Reply
And we all knew then and there that we used up valuable karma by having such a flawless performance.
1 0 ReplyMontella put Dalić in his little pocket today
1 0 ReplyHis worst
1 0 ReplySometimes I wonder if I'll ever get to watch a Croatia game and be satisfied with how we play
1 0 ReplyThe combination of the Turkish high press and having 5 rotation players playing really has a horrible effect on our productivity so far, even tho the goal came from a clear mistake they've been better in every regard.
1 0 ReplySubstitutions are needed. At least 2
1 0 ReplyI can't believe I'm saying this, but bring on Vida. Man's in the goalscoring form of his career.
1 0 ReplyVery messy 5 mins from Turkiye
1 0 ReplyProbably offside but either way Liva's casual stroll and "save attempt" was hilarious lol
1 0 ReplyBarišić is so bad lmao Sosa should have played from the beginning
1 0 ReplyThat was a classic Turkish goalkeeper timing right there. Livakovic adapted us fast.
1 0 Replydalic should've known better not to play a fenerbahçe gk against barış alper
1 0 ReplyNe znam ni tko je onaj do Jarnija.
1 0 ReplyThe coaching change seems justified even if they dont win today they look much better
1 0 ReplyLiva had watched way too many Muslera games.
1 0 ReplyI don’t know whats worse, our performance or the Nova studio show
1 0 Replythe ghost of Rüstü still haunts Feners goal and maybe it has rubbed off on him
1 0 ReplyWho is Goda?
1 0 ReplyAkturkoglu is straight up trash for the national team. Even as a gala fan
1 0 ReplyOnce the power of obitelj™️ and friendship runs out this is what you get
1 0 ReplyMaybe I'm just looking for things to be negative about, but the atmosphere at Opus seems pretty meh? Even before the goal.
1 0 ReplyLuka, I love you, but what was that
1 0 ReplyWhy is Juranovic not on the field?
1 0 ReplyCroatia are shit Turkey much better.
1 0 ReplyDefinitely Dalić instructions! He tactical abilities are non existent.
1 0 ReplyDefensively our team is not existent
1 0 ReplyBaris Yilmaz having quite the two weeks
1 0 ReplySo we just need a coaching change every month and we'll be unbearable 🤔😂
1 0 ReplyHalf the team playing like they don’t want to be there and half is just shit
1 0 ReplyCome on, he must lead the team prayer before they walk out as well
1 0 ReplyPrime Kerem Aktürkoglu is back!!
1 0 ReplyYou just know youre gonna lose possesion when Uğurcan gets the ball
1 0 ReplyI'm not really sure if we're playing really well or Hırvats are just finished as a team.
1 0 ReplyTurkey's front line missing all the chances, but at least they're creating them.
1 0 ReplyGvardiol was probably a bit better than the rest but ye...
1 0 ReplyCroatia is abysmal
1 0 ReplyHes wasting so many chances even against manU and in general
1 0 ReplyMy thoughts exactly
1 0 ReplyAnother clear foul not called. I guess you can hold Modric with both hands because he's so young and strong so it's fair
1 0 ReplyKovacic having a stinker
1 0 ReplyHow are there so many Croations here? You guys have 4 million population and most of them use Reddit???
1 0 ReplyPasalic is the only player to get the ball in space and turn backwards with it
1 0 ReplyWas it Brozo who launched a missile at Samet? Poor guy is rekt.
1 0 ReplyIs Stanisic aware his job is also to defend?
1 0 ReplyNO ERA PENAL, come on
1 0 ReplyDidnt expect Turkey to play this well, fair play
1 0 ReplyOnly thing I want to know if we are so static in attacking possession by design / dalic instruction or because our players just can't be arsed
1 0 ReplyWell Ivanusec is a good replacement and he is 24 so...
1 0 ReplyTbh I don't think Dalic ever in his life gave tactical instructions beyond reading the starting line up
1 0 ReplyWhere are the akturoglu fans hes trash. How are you guys so blind and actually defending this bum he always plays like trash for the national team
1 0 ReplyBrekalo is everywhere
1 0 ReplyModric cannot be fouled by the rules apparently
1 0 Replyok we seriously need to take the chances we get
1 0 ReplyDid DALIC just change the whole attack in the 60th minute? This js a weird game
1 0 ReplyKovač put that dawg in Majer.
1 0 Replysubstituting hakan with orkun should be next
1 0 ReplyRegardless of how this ends, I actually enjoyed watching a match of our NT. I can't believe it.
1 0 ReplyStanisic is so bad fuck off
1 0 ReplyIs Kerem playing for Croatia or what? What is he doing?
1 0 ReplyPasalic with a shot of a Sunday league bench warmer
1 0 ReplyWTF is this ping pong stuff from both teams lol
1 0 Replyplease just score another
1 0 ReplyDoes it look like Croatia will score?
1 0 ReplyCroatia getting absolutely torn apart on defense here.
1 0 ReplyIf Turkiye doesn't score this match will be a draw.
1 0 ReplyThats not a penalty
1 0 ReplyCroatia had a good 20 min but seem to have lost steam a bit again
1 0 ReplyI've never seen him play for any club, if I had to guess off his NT performance I'd say it was Slaven Belupo
1 0 ReplyWtf was that attack 🙈
1 0 ReplyUnironically emre akbaba for hakan could be a good sub right now, croatia leaving a lot of space behind.
1 0 ReplyMusa is a beast for Benfica, and then not for NT - woe is me.
1 0 ReplyNot offside but still foul after Ferdi cleared goal line
1 0 ReplyJust let Gvardiol do whatever he wants.
1 0 ReplyYes thats the correct decision. Nothing he could do and not even the hand
1 0 ReplyYou're not wrong but it's also Latvia
1 0 ReplyAt this point it must be something personal, what has modric done to the ref 😂
1 0 Replyand he is doing absolutely nothing.
1 0 ReplyThat's not a foul?
1 0 ReplyYeah really annoying
1 0 ReplyPlease get Stanisic off I can’t watch this anymore
1 0 ReplyAlso Türkiye missed two clear chances
1 0 ReplyHow's that not a card??
1 0 Replyhow did that guy make it out of bayern academy
1 0 ReplyThis period is great. No fouls, no free kicks or other interruptions.
1 0 ReplyWonder if Barisic is still playing because of his father
1 0 ReplyWithout any türkü though
1 0 ReplyOnce baris alper learns how to think while running he’ll be a great player lol
1 0 ReplyEvery player on both sides holds onto the ball for too long and over dribbling etc
1 0 ReplyApokerim Bardakci is such a freaking tank, I love him. He's like Servet Cetin with a brain.
1 0 ReplyCakir is far too overconfident for his shitty long passes dude should be afraid everytime he gets ta pass
1 0 ReplyI'm a bit in awe how significantly better we are playing compared to when Kuntz was around. This is literally the same team but the discipline and cohesion is like night and day.
1 0 ReplyI can see Croatia scoring two in quick succession after all these comments from Croats lol
1 0 ReplyAm I dreaming or is dalic making early decisive subs?
1 0 ReplyDon't forget, after all that, just passing it to the opponent.
1 0 ReplyMajer fuckin pass just selfish fuck, you don't have to keep shooting
1 0 ReplyTürkiyes defenders are slacking badly on that left side. For the second time nobody is running or attempting to defend a 2 vs 1
1 0 ReplyWtf calhanoglu 👀
1 0 Replycan't remember the last time we were this wasteful
1 0 ReplyBertug entering the game.
1 0 Replywhistling football fans is our greatest export. very proud 👍
1 0 ReplyGood call by taylor imo
1 0 ReplyDoesn't excuse that we're playing like shit.
1 0 ReplyOHA
1 0 ReplyBruv fucking WHAT was that
1 0 ReplyNo
1 0 ReplyLmao Croatia wins the ball back and it's a foul every time, Turkey wins it back the same way and he never calls a foul
1 0 ReplyIf Türkiye continues like that they'll be lucky to escape with a draw
1 0 ReplyCroatia giving 8.75x
It's over.
Just saying.
1 0 Replyİsmail MOTM
1 0 ReplyStanisic you fucking moron
1 0 Replyok, we need to score or we'll concede.
1 0 ReplyWhy do all Dinamo players have bad ball anticipation? Livakovic and Petkovic both can't dealt with crosses
1 0 ReplyThat's what I thought, would've been unfair to give that
1 0 ReplyMajer goal or assist incoming.
1 0 ReplyHow the hell did the referee even consider that a handball in the first place.
VAR saved the day.
1 0 ReplyUgurcan might have the worst feet I have seen on a keeper. Dude straight up gives the ball back everytime he attempts a pass.
1 0 Reply
