Sanchez is like a breath of fresh air. Fast, strong, skillful... why didnt they use him more ??

It's the same coach who normally starts Carvalho over Fonte.

Bit of a bore this one, had high hopes.

William Carvalho has been poor this half with his passing.

Wasn't United linked with him plenty? On this evidence thank God we didn't go for him

Crossing is so so poor. And from a guy who takes set pieces for Barca

Mr.Nice Guy

Both teams have been poor. This fixture promised so much but it's been a bad game.

the groutch

Croatian set pieces have been woeful at times tonight.

R00ster

If you think this is bad, imagine how bad the extra time will be.

philstar

i was really looking forward to this game....what a let down

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Green Fella

This is really shocking stuff, like a pre season friendly. The standard of the games today has been atrocious, no intensity, tackles or anything. Hard to see any of the teams on this side of the draw winning it out. Expected more from Croatia, you know what your getting with Portugal an average side when Ronaldo isn't on form.

Think Portugal have played a lot more defensively. Not as gung-ho as previous games which has surprised the Croats. Modric and Rakatic have been poor at opening them up and Manzukic has been nominated existent

remoteboy

Croatia look like they'll be happy with penalties.

PeterTheEighth

Pepe laughing at him. he certainly does nothing to help his lack of popularity does he.

sReq | uTeK

The best thing about this game has been the women in the crowd

I have serious disdain for him. If ronaldo wasn't in the side I'd want them to get battered 50-0

Mr.Nice Guy

Finally he brings on Quaresma.

"Are we heading for extra time?"

God please no not another half hour of this!

Ronnie Whelan would want to be careful, Kilbane seems to be after his job.

hopefully their keeper is better than that Athletico guy who didn't try save any of the penos in the CL final.

surripere

We'll be begging for extra time tomorrow

Toobz

Worst match of the tournament.

citytillidie

Can't it go like the Copa America and go straight to pens at full time

Mec27

nooooooooooo

Mantis Toboggan

Another 30 minutes..

surripere

Make it stop.

Mr.Nice Guy

We go to extra-time. It could go either way.

Like we needed extra time.

Why couldn't someone have scored...

Green Fella

Thought Wales N Ireland was bad, this is just dire stuff. Is it fatigue , these guys look like they dont even want to be there? zero intensity, no tackles and barely any clear cut chances

Green Fella

The difference between Croatias performance vs Spain and this is ridiculous. Especialy considering they were already through in that game!

ERG89

This is worse than Ambrose vs Jericho but I doubt well see Pepe thrown on thumbtacks which is a pity.
The standard of football today has been very, very poor

Mr.Nice Guy

0 shots on target over the 90 minutes apparently.

Mec27

tv3 ''i don't know which is worse, the fact it has been a poor game or the lack of quality on display''

J. Marston

Can't remember a worse match than this in a long time. This is so bad.

PeterTheEighth

I bet they are showing this game in a prisoner of war camp somewhere.

surripere

There has been no shots on target :eek:

philstar

they should go straight to penalites

Doesn't the Geneva Convention prevent subjecting POWs to sadistic cruelty and/or torture?

Vincent Vega

wtf was that from Kalinić. absolute waste of a decent opportunity :eek:

Mr.Nice Guy

Some of the passing has been abysmal.

derm0j073

That Kalinić shot sums up this game... Dreadful.

Looks like you're correct. A day that will go down in infamy

Just tuned in. Have the Portuguese been diving like this during the whole game?

Mec27

On a day where the infamous 'Worst game of all time' contested between Ukraine Switzerland at the 2006 World Cup reared its ugly head, this game came along mere hours later to provide a worthy rival to that claim.

Biggest non Ronaldo performance ever.

Watching this, I think kurt cobain put it best:

I hate myself and i want to die.
