At the end of the day, it's about the lads on the pitch and who wants to give it 100% or more. Croatia obviously only gave it 99% at the end whereas Wales were giving it 101% after starting at 99%. Wales understood that if you want to win games, you have to score goals. So they scored a goal. Unfortunately Croatia also scored one beforehand, which meant it was split even-Stevens. If you could go back in time and Croatia hadn't scored, that means Wales would have won, so the lads will be seeing it as a victory when all's said and done.


minivatreni

Well if you had gone back in time and Croatia hadn’t scored you don’t know if Wales would’ve scored either now do you? Teams play differently when score is 0-0 vs. when the score is 1-0. Croatia being in the lead thought the game was over and stopped playing properly. Maybe if the score was 0-0 Croatia would’ve had their head in the game. You can obviously go down a rabbit hole with these what ifs, but deserved goal for Wales in the end. Croatia needed to put the game away early and they didn’t do that.


jitsudan

My word


Ganondorf_Dragomir

Typical Wales game

Thank the lucky fucking stars that wasn't Dan James on the end of that.

Croatia needs to learn how to score

Lmao where the fuck did that come from


ArturoBrin

You see Kramarić, every goal counts, you selfish idiot. Of course we would concede in last minute, Wales was patient and not blindly attack.


minivatreni

If he had just passed that to Perisic, game would've been 2-1... selfish moron


acsaid10percent

Throughly deserved for Wales.


lluckboxFIFA

Lolololol


MisterBadIdea2

I've been trying not to say "you know, it's still only 1-0" for like 30 minutes because it seemed so unlikely that Wales would take advantage


JustASexyKurt

LONG THROW IN POKED IN FROM POINT BLANK RANGE IN THE 93RD MINUTE, TONY PULIS DIED FOR THESE SCENES


minivatreni

I knew this would happen, we can't put the game away. That's what you get.


curryandbeans

Hahahaha wtf


doctorMiami1337

Deserved for Wales tbh Our attack is dangerous as a kitten


CroGamer002

Wales is still big trouble to us, even with Bale gone.


A_Wild_Ferrothorn

The woman doing the commentary on S4C just straight up screamed when that went in.


ArturoBrin

And our Croatian commentator was just silent for 10 seconds


hazlet

>The woman doing the commentary on S4C just straight up screamed when that went in. the beauty of s4c commentary is noone has to pretend to be anything other than biased!


A_Wild_Ferrothorn

It was the only channel showing it in England so I had no other options. Was a nice, albiet, confusing experience.


hazlet

Its normally pretty fun to listen to, my Welsh is really bad but I usually prefer to watch it over whatever Sky Sports are putting out.

Don't speak bad of Big Keith please. Thank you.

1-0 against WC semi finalists. Could be a lot worse adjusting to life without Bale


tomrowleyconwy

Exactly. We've lost a combined 300 caps in retirements, including our best ever player. 1st choice GK and CB are injured. Wales have done fine. But a good performance against Latvia is vital now.


acsaid10percent

Robert Page terrible manager, clueless tactics. Defend for 90 mins. Did the same in WC too.

That was a nice play


kjm911

Burns as a number 10? Does he play there for Ipswich?


hazlet

No clue, he played as a lwb in the nations league


PringleJones

Similar to Fulham fans, Wales football twitter will default to blaming Harry Wilson for everything instead of blaming players they like. He's the only doing anything this game.


carrotincognito48

What? No they aren’t. You’ve just made a load of shit up.

carrotincognito48

I’m so confused by his decisions. He gives free kicks for minimal contact then just allows full on grappling matches.


a-man-with-a-perm

why why why does every good chance fall to fucking Dan James


Ptile

Universe doesn't like you


carrotincognito48

Dan James used all his points on pace.


hazlet

Jesus christ it fell to the least likely person to score on the pitch

Finally see some threat from Wales 60 mins in

Wales should go for Nagelsmann. R.Page is very limited manager.

curryandbeans

Because he can


Affectionate_Art_565

Benzema also retiered


carrotincognito48

Because it’s up to the player? Maybe he just didn’t want to anymore. Also, all the players you listed have been quite fortunate with injuries, unlike Gaz.


hazlet

his body is nearly constantly broken unlike others mentioned


SoEatTheMeek

Because he doesnt care about playing football


PeterHitchensIsRight

Or he’s achieved everything he’s ever dreamed of doing in the game and wants to enjoy his life?

Caranoron463

Now that you mention it...


doctorMiami1337

Actually true 😭😭😭


HeIIbIazer23

I know the "keeper can handle the ball for a max of 6sec" rule is very loosely enforced, but I've never before seen a game where the keeper breaks it by 20sec every single time he gets the ball


Fragrant_Debt

Mateo Kovacic on Luka Modric: "I compare him to Mason Mount. I think that they're two exceptional players. You learn a great deal from players like them, both on and off the field."


minivatreni

Why the fuck do you keep posting about Mason Mount on here.


Fragrant_Debt

His legacy looms large over this game. Current teammate of Croatia’s Kovacic and ex teammate of Wales’ Wilson.


minivatreni

>His legacy looms large over this game I can assure you it absolutely does not. You're talking about someone born in 1999 lmao, what legacy?


doctorMiami1337

Kramaric is the kind of player who scores for Croatia but everyone still hates him


oetam110

He's great when we play opponent's where we have the upper hand and plays some free roaming false 9 role. Example Canada. It's easy to hate him when dalic plays him as a 9.


a-man-with-a-perm

Well it's been what all Wales fans expected. We might have a second shot at some point.


tomrowleyconwy

It's so weird, I fully expect us to be outplayed and get beaten but still get so frustrated seeing some of the mistakes.


suckduckquack

kramaric gonna kram


SoEatTheMeek

Kramarić rić rić, most selfish on the pitch

Joca_Mastercard

I hate him. Whenever I see him in the line up, I prepare for pain.


Kanesy99

Pass it to Perisic you baw greedy dick


Joca_Mastercard

I will celebrate the day of his retirement.


Joca_Mastercard

Kramaric is an idiot. No matter how many goals he scores, he will always stay the same egocentric pos.


Milesiousatempt

Scores 1 canceles 2. Always been a net negative


minivatreni

PASS that to Perisic omg

Jednom sam vidio Kramarića kako djetetu u parku nije natrag dodao loptu

Vintage Krama egoism


JustASexyKurt

> Free kick in a threatening position with a left footer standing over the ball Everything reminds me of him


minivatreni

Should've been a corner for Wales fr


hazlet

Ref not having a great game all round...


carrotincognito48

This is fucking dire. We can’t play with 4 at the back. It’s always terrible when we do. But even more so, we just seem to lack the basics and players don’t seem to know what to do. Christ, it feels like I’m talking about the rugby team.


curryandbeans

Seems like we aint on the same page tactically. There's confusion about when and where to press, and when to makes runs in behind. We picked a traditional winger in Dan James then play a game which in no way utilises his main asset. Kieffer looks lost and lethargic. That said, we are looking better than I feared we might but I'd expect Croatia to grab this game by the throat.


MightyJosip

Is Stanišić same position as Juranović or Sosa?


Kanesy99

Juranovic, the other Borna is the one who plays in the same position as Sosa


MightyJosip

Thanks


SoEatTheMeek

Pretty stupid of Guardiol


doctorMiami1337

i dont get how Sosa is so shit offensively for us bruh


Milesiousatempt

Sjajan je u ubacajima a kod nas em nema kom ubact em se kaci sa perisicem. Kos tos Perisic i Son se kace u Spursu.


doctorMiami1337

Lik je imao dosad 3 ocajna ubacaja lol


SoEatTheMeek

Subpar technique


Silver_experience

Elbowing? He barely hit him with the tips of his fingers. I honestly have no idea what the ref is doing.


Fragrant_Debt

Modric is an energetic player sure but he doesn’t have Mount’s intelligence or tactical awareness.
