I really want to see a 2-2 Croatia-Spain draw. It'd be hilarious to see Italy go out the same way again, and then cry match fixing afterwards, just like after Denmark-Sweden.

hmmm

Yep, definitely knew when the Spanish announcers are calling a GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL

Poor Ireland. They just aren't good enough.

Why are they saying Spain and Italy advance if the results hold? Italy is being Spain and Croatia in goal differential.

Only the matches between the tied teams count for determining ties (so if Italy, Croatia and Spain all end on 5 points the matches against Ireland are ignored).

So, what breaks the tie between Spain and Croatia right now?

TvC FC: 1678-3337-8213 (TURN)

Ah, okay. So then it would go to goals scored in the relevant matches? So Italy has 2, Spain and Croatia have 1?

Is this different than in the World Cup/Champions League?

Ireland should count itself lucky that flurry earlier can't count as like, 4 goals.

Oh hi guys.

sup chris

Croatia/Spain couldve been a GREAT game if they weren't playing so scared.

These midfields are both incredible and should be putting on a show right now.

Modric is so good and so perfect for Arsenal's style of football that I don't even care that he plays for sp*rs

The fact that Spain's goal actually did nothing but change who would go out if Croatia scored is insane.

You gotta feel sorry for Modric. Not because he's out of the Euros, but because he's got to go back to Tottenham. Nobody deserves that.

lolololol

For about 80 minutes Spain were a bit like what happens if you play a game of FIFA with the shoot button off-limits. Jeez.

My best friend plays just like Spain does. Holds onto the ball, probes, lacks incisiveness. Only he gets really angry when I score on my 2-3 counter attacks per game and beat him all the time.

Wait, were people really calling a guy linked with Barca, Utd, Real and an apparent 40m bid from chelsea underrated?

--
Dr voltchball - best in the world.

Yes because there's still those who think his lack of goals matter to a significant degree.

Until that opinion is eradicated, he's underrated.

Modric is worth more than that 40m bid.

I think he's Xavi like. I really do. I think we'll be talking about him being the best midfielder in the world pretty soon. He's just surrounded by whale sp*rm on all sides.

I remember buying Modric in FM08 and watching he and Fabregas combine for like 45 assists in one season.

You know who is actually underrated?

Deschamps.


Fabregas more underrated than Modric too, only two teams wanted him, none for over 40m.

--

Fabregas is also leagues better than Modric.

Arsenal agreed to the buyout clause for Giroud btw, and M'Vila saying he's interested in us, which means he'll probably be playing for Chelsea or $ity come next season.

Kind of afraid of Croatia though after seeing them in the Euros, I thought we had a reasonable chance to top our WC qualifying group but we may have to settle for a second place...
