Day 26: England vs Croatia Waist Coat Semi-Final
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Those two incidents at 1-1 with the ball going out twice was piss poor. He was inconsistent and Lovren should have had a booking or three!
SF is a good tournament for this team, but it has to be said, they buckled at the first good team so its difficult to be too giddy about it.
Ćorluka is from Doboj I think, Lovren from Zenica. I don't know about others. I'm Croat too.
kane is not fit to lace the boots of proper forward..lucky twat.
Congrats. Well deserved.
Delusional.

2 things for me.
Why bother passing it around the back taking risks just for Henderson to hoof it up front every other ball
Why since the knockouts has Kane been playing in midfield. Drops to deep

Just fell a bit short in the end. Proud of how we did, and honestly we could have finished the game off in the first half.
Disappointed by Kane, even though it's not the time to point fingers, think he went missing a bit, drifted back into the midfield and didn't do his job.
But honestly, bravely losing in the semifinal, I'll fecking take that. Never thought we'd get this far, just hope we can match or better it in my lifetime.

If only.
If only Kane had scored at 1-0.
These are the margins.
Never looked likely to score when they equalised, but a great tournament as a whole, unexpected by all but the most deluded.

So fecking annoying, Croatia played the most minutes whole tournament and we become the ones getting tired.
Dejan Lovren is about to start a World Cup final.
Shame, gave Croatia the ball and then shit ourselves. Bad tactic. Thought Stones was weak spot, rather than Henderson. As the game went on his decision making became worse. Young was poor today, Rashford did nothing when he came on. Do not understand playing Alli and Lingard and not attacking. Got walked over in midfield.
It’s what you put in to those minutes, not the minutes themselves.
If he plays like tonight, he might not finish it.
They should have scored another in the first half. Were forced to adopt a 5-3-2 set up in the second half because Croatia were forcing the wing backs far too deep to be a threat. Can't do much in that case.
Think this will be the end for Young. He has to bring Rose back in.
What's really puzzling is that after a bright start a younger and supposedly fresher England team got completely outplayed and outfought in the second half and extra time by the side that was supposed to have been completely knackered.
oh and Mandzukic is a cnut. that cramp sorted itself quick enough.
Played well but again from open play we simply werent clinical enough. we look grand from set pieces but at 1-0 Kane needed to score that chance.

The only positive. That can only lift him for us.
Gutted absolutely gutted.
Croatia deserved that though they were better on the night. If we could have converted those 1st half chances then who knows.
Credit to the boys though for at least getting us back on board with them this tournament.
As an aside, any non-Croatian posters on here actively celebrating this result and enjoying this result; you are definatly not United fans even if you think you are.

The boys should be proud with what they've achieved, no one expected this, just a step too far. Most of this bunch will come again, there's some talented youth players coming through who could be ready for next Euro's.
Dirty cnuts are in WC final i heard @Ban
Actually completely forgot about the Kane chance first half, massive moment. Up there with the Gazza miss in euro 96.
Croatia wouldn't have come back from 2-0 down imo.

Rakitic's mothers family from zepce, think Subasic has some connection as he was on a youth teamsheet for bosnia (no idea if he played)... not sure on the others. But a lot of roots in both countries though obviously they play for what their heart feels they are.
No, no. Croatia won.
How surprising. So the oiks haven't changed much then
What happened at half time?
Well done @Ban fully deserved mate.
Not sure that will be a good thing, possibly negative impact on his time here.
Congrats! I honestly thought, first half aside, Croatia played better tonight than they did against Argentina. As I said yesterday Modric will turn his screws on and there was only one winner when he did. And again, personally, Croatia of course didn't let me down as I put some money on them at half-time!
I don't dislike Croatia at all, but I am now wanting France to win for Pogba. I support the United players.
To be fair, Kane was awful, and Alli wasn't much better. Trippier was England's best player (after Pickford) though.
What about the SNP? All the anti-English comments from the Scottish? Sort out your own nationalism before you talk about England.
Congrats! *hugs*
Don't really care what the stats say.
England dominated for large periods of the game and should have had it sewn up before the half-time whistle went. The second half was fairly even before Croatia equalized, after which they went on to control the game and ultimately win it in the end. They deserve credit for that.
But so do the England lads. Can't remember the last time I was this proud of my national team.
Well done Croatia, better team won.
When Modric, the most talented player on the pitch, is running around like a maniac, it sends a message to the rest of the players.

At least with the introduction of this new "Winter Break" from next season, the tiredness of an EPL campaign hopefully is not used as an excuse in future tournaments. Not that I am saying England used it this time around, but they did seem to tire out a lot towards the end. Good tournament for England in hindsight though. Disappointing not to make the finals, but... We go again!
Good post. Exactly what I meant except these idiots can't look past their middle class bias
come on. People can feel bad for the individual united players but they arent playing for United right now, and this has nothing to do with United. If you do want to look at it that way, theres only 2 united players playing regularly while there are more players from our rivals in the squad.Keane laying into Stones LOL.
Your post was not changed, last time I saw it.
