Yet buses are there to prevent players from scoring or passing. That's why those tactics works well vs. Messi. If Ronaldo's in the box marked by a few, you can either try to pass him the ball or to cross him the ball. With Messi crossing doesn't work. It's easier to break the bus with Ronaldo.

Madrid is a force so most teams will sit deep. No doubt. But it's very hard to park the bus and not concede vs. Madrid. But it's easier for Ronaldo because he's better at breaking buses than Messi.

Not really. Yes, Croatia attacks better but it's not that much of a difference. And, you wouldn't tell it when you see names, but don't have a functioning midfield. Our coach, Dalić, wants Modrić to play as a 10. Doesn't work well, yet he won't give up. Also, the pivot pairing (Brozović and...

You just can't park the bus well vs. Real or Portugal. They are crossing first teams. For Real we all know, with Portugal it's the same. They've scored most of their goals via crosses to Ronaldo and Andre Silva. Parking the bus is, on the other hand, good tactics to stop teams built around...

To be honest, it's been like this for a while. We often get bad news lately.

Ok, enough about Argentina. But speaking of Croatia, I am from Croatia and over the years feels like I've lost some if not all passion for the team. Even disgusts me at times. Reading stuff on the Internet it's a widespread view here. Strange that happened.

They could've used Higuain today, to be honest.

Everything's up to them. Believe they'll go out of the group.

Happens to me all the time. Usually have to go through the list to find the right thread.

Marca says we contacted Bayern. Saw it on reddit.

Meltdown here lol

Don't get one thing... Why did this idiot tell his starting lineup yesterday?

Biglia? Rojo? Meza?

True cf in the box gives you too much to be ignored. If he's capable of linkup play like Benzema, Costa or even Giroud... that's great.

Busquets was good.

True. Probably the best performance by non European team so far. Uruguay wasn't good.

Maybe didn't score but assisted Ronaldo against us after winning the ball in the air. After all, they have Ronaldo who's strong and good in the air. Benzema wins tons of balls.

Wanted Australia to win. Shame.

Then he's having a solid game.

I don't watch Huddersfield but Mooy looks good. Solid at the back, destructor.
