England never live up to (their own) expectations, they're just not very good. Great to see Wales top their group though, have to cheer for our Celtic brethren

USA is better than them now, which we should considering our population.

Except if we went by that logic, China and India would be the best at every sport in the world! When in fact, thus far China have only managed to be pretty damn good in badminton and table tennis
Also Iceland, with a population of around 330,000 would most likely beat USA I'm afraid

True but those countries don't seem to care to play soccer much. India cares more about cricket.
Iceland beat the US? Shutter to think...

Iceland is good right now. The problem is that soccer isn't popular enough in the States and their top athletes don't play. You don't think LeBron James would be the best fullback in the world if he played soccer from the time he could run and with the technical training found in European academies?

Croatian fans are a fucking disgrace. Bunch of fucking animals.
I'm a Croat and I agree, born in the states
Great people there, but a large amount of brain dead people too
Not too bright
These people are so not evolved, they are living 25 years in the past
On a side note ( crazy...wish weren't true story)
My brother Met a Croatian girl online a few years back After 2 weeks of talking, he went there and they were engaged She comes here USA, that whole fiancée Visa thing She realizes you have to bust your ass in the States to haven$$ ( thought $ grows on trees here) My brother was not rich but not poor either She sold herself as religious and a good women After she no get what she wants She convinces him to leave everything to move to Croatia with her Told my family they would be out in matter of weeks They leave... My mother & me, and some other family were defrauded over $ 160,000.00 due to my asshole brother working at a bank and using info he had from us to open loans, cash out and bounce
I don't blame her solely ( don't speak to my asshole brother anymore) but she was a WITCH. And worse of all this has happened to a few people I know from Croatian people.
Not trying to paint all in the same light since I go there every few years and love so many of them......but I know what a lot of them are about as I'm sure a lot of poor Eastern European countries have scammers like this
I met her family for a few days during her brief time stateside, they are houligans and lowlife scammers. No shame asking for dough and such
This whole thing has caused a huge rift in my family.... My Mom begged me not to press charges(even though it probably wouldn't matter since they flew the coupe and there is no extradition here) so me and my Mom also don't really speak
She was worried bought their newborn child, which I get but this is FRAUD and I lost $20,000.00
A real shitty situation But one I've seen play out over the years with other people I know getting scammed
This thing has torn me up.... This brother I even brought to PJ20 (and many other shows)on my dime and took him to his beloved Packers home opener during that trip and countless things over the years
God forbid if I ever run into this chick one day or him.... My mom fell for this shit cause she was hellbent my brother marries his own nationality
Sickening
That felt good to let out.... I feel I should press charges but it's not easy, my family making it harder too
Hey there fellow Croat. Sorry to read about your situation. I completely understand what you're saying. I hear stories too. Sent you a PM.

If somehow Portugal gets its shit together from now on (which i hope it will happen!) and eliminates Croatia , i think we can go all the way and win the final (hopefully against France...we have some shit to avenge from other tournments)
Usually Portugal against "smaller" teams has a tendecy to play really bad so maybe against Croatia we can finally play a little better.
Also about today´s game we got a lot of bad luck , 2 of their goals the ball touched on one of your players , one even fouled Patricio.
So so proud of the Croatian team! They have ended the Spanish series of undefeated games. Yes!
Like the profile pic, big fan of Srna Hope they can go all the way!
Thank you, jnimhaoileoin! I hope they can go all the way too, they're really a great generation who deserve a good result. I love Srna for a long time, and I must admit the first reason for this was that he comes from Metković, like my husband. Congratulations for having the best fans of the tournament! I hear only good stories about Irish. I have a coworker from Ireland, she says Irish fans are always the best. haha

Oh thank you, we figure we usually don't go very far so we may as well have fun while we're there!
I will be cheering Croatia on this Saturday I think they've always appealed to me because they're a real team, who work for each other, rather than just a collection of individuals

They make me feel ashamed to be Croatian.
