    Euro 2024

    Ok I wrote the same during WC 2022, where I have said that in key matches, or when it matters, 90% of 50:50 decisions will go in favor of big 5-6 nations. Just for fun, let's follow all matches from now and see how many 50:50 decisions (like soft fouls in a box, or handballs after corners)...

    Euro 2024

    Bro, in 30 years of watching Croatia vs big teams, we had 1 decision in our favor in 20 key matches. Red card for Germany in 1998'. And like 10-15 decisions against us. When you play against Germany, France, England, Spain, Argentina, Brasil, you can win only: 1. if you win 3:0 2. if you reach...

    Euro 2024

    They had Koke and Busi. The current team is good only if you rate 17 year old Yamal. And I have explained that a huge part of playing youngsters lately is a hype job for fans, selling shirts, giving hope and buzz to fans. So, remove 50-80% of perceived level from a youngster to get their real...

    Euro 2024

    No Real's players. Barca players have been abysmal against continental opponents in the last few years. These other players, I have no idea who are they. On the other hand, you have: Modric, who won more CLs than the whole Spanish team. Kovacic, won CLs for 3 teams. Gvardiol from Man. City...

    Euro 2024

    Lol I am not trolling. This Spanish team looks horrible once you remove Barca-fan glasses.

    Euro 2024

    Yeah. New guys Gvardiol and Stanisic in defense are awesome. In midfield also, Majer and Sucic are very good. Attack is the weakest link. I have some faith in lucky-subs Pjaca and Sucic.

    Euro 2024

    No I am not afraid of Italy and Spain. This is the weakest Spain in the last 20 years.

    Champions League 23/24

    Real bought Hazard for 120, James for 80, Jovic for 66, then a weird guy Bale. Still won 6 CLs in the last 11 years. But as said before, that's Barca vs Real. We can win only when we have the best generation ever. They can win with average squads. We can win only when we have 2-3 seasons of...

    Champions League 23/24

    With that logic, we are the same as Real since we changed our philosophy two times. In the 70s when Rinus Michels came, we started to adopt Dutch style of football. And in the 1990 under Cruijff, we went full on Dutch football. Tldr: 1. Real change their philosophy when needed (to improve...

    Champions League 23/24

    Someone else might disagree and say: that's not a definition of being plastic but being smart and living in the real world. On the other hand, what Barca is doing with sticking to some romantic principles (which obviously aren't working too well) might be called as being young and naive. One...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    I am from Croatia, so in theory, I should defend competitions as WC and Euros, but majority of people have probably figured out till now that the quality of football is way lower on the NT tournaments. Here are some reasons: 1. players play in their clubs for 9-10 months per season and build a...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Just another point on Yamal. As we have learned over the years following Barca, we know that in Barca's offices and among fans we value the most flair, technique and nice-football. While in Real they value mental traits. In Germany or England, they value physical traits etc. So, here, among...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Just logged in to say: my boy Serghei is getting more and more wise as he is getting older :sherlock: On a serious note: when you look at the history and stats, 90% of young players won't reach their hyped potential. As this Blanco user said, majority of kids are "just kids" who are 16-17 and...

    8 - Pedri

    He didn't have stamina issues 2-3 years ago because he was the master of hide and seek. He would pass the ball and disappear for 10 minutes from the field. During those 10 minutes he would go to take a nap at Camp Nou locker rooms. Then he would return to the field, make one fancy pass and...

    Vitor Roque

    On Youtube videos, he reminds of Hulk, Julio Baptista, maybe Adriano. But comparing anyone with Adriano is a blasphemy. About his highlights, it s hard to tell much until he comes and play in La Liga. He could be good or a total disaster. Since, even Malcom looked awesome and like a crazy...

    8 - Pedri

    I have warned about that several years ago. Pedri is similar to Arthur and have some similar issues. My opinion is that as kids, they grew up as Barca's fans and they grew up watching Pep's football and Spanish NT from 2008-2012. Before Pep's era, midfielders were different. Majority of teams...

    I miss the good old days when our players weren't these snowflakes with the bodyweight of Keira Knightley and the mental strength of a 13 year old teen-girl.
