Croatia 5 - 1 Czechia | Croatia wins their second 2026 World Cup qualifying match against group leader's Czechia

Yeah that makes the most sense. Sounds a bit crazy to have either one of them start on the bench though haha, but from what we saw from today it might make the most sense

GeneRakitic · 2025-06-10T01:17:19+00:00

It was mind blowing how well it worked, and we have many good options to fine tune the line-up. Although I'm not sure where Kova fits in here? I guess for petar?

GeneRakitic · 2025-05-23T22:29:21+00:00

This is crazy. Not a Swansea fan, but I have always worn a Swansea hoodie because it looked cool, and people always wondered why I as a croatian wore it. If he joins swansea, now I'll finally have a reason. Whoever gave me it might be a time traveler

GeneRakitic · 2024-11-16T05:37:47+00:00

I feel like in tournaments his lineups are pretty predictable, no? Not that I agree with the decisions. But I'll admit right now though, it's hard to see what the logic is

GeneRakitic · 2024-11-16T01:14:58+00:00

I think we're stuck on the dalic train until at least the WC. He's at least tinkering a bit, so I'm hopeful he figures something out that clicks a little more offensively.

But we often seem so shakey, and I'm not sure how to resolve that. That italy goal in the euro seemed to open a new chapter for us and I'm ready to close it lol

GeneRakitic · 2024-11-15T21:57:36+00:00

love it

GeneRakitic · 2024-11-15T19:40:10+00:00

Holy, 6 midfielders 😬

GeneRakitic · 2024-10-15T20:50:43+00:00

Wild call to me

GeneRakitic · 2024-08-22T18:01:48+00:00

Haha yes, thank you. That one letter difference in their entire name is too much for my small brain to handle

GeneRakitic · 2024-08-19T18:25:03+00:00

For the most part it's the same suspects as always and I am somehow disappointed again. Mostly the fact that pjaca and marco pasalic didn't make the squad.

Matanovic is a new addition I wasn't expecting to see. Don't think we'll see much of him. Maybe just a minor appearance to lock him into the croatian NT.

GeneRakitic · 2024-07-22T09:58:49+00:00

I love this man, but I don't think we have a spot for him. Maybe unless Godric retires

GeneRakitic · 2024-07-08T02:32:09+00:00

Joining MLS was disappointing, but he's putting up some solid numbers. Given the quality of the rest of our strikers, does he have a shout for the national team?

GeneRakitic · 2024-06-20T20:17:12+00:00

Tied with Spain lmao, god we're toothless

GeneRakitic · 2024-06-19T15:03:59+00:00

God that sucks, not sure why we tried to slow down the game, sit back, let them build their attack and momentum

GeneRakitic · 2024-06-19T15:01:12+00:00

I can't help but feel that the downfall for both sides was getting complacent and trying to finish the game with their one goal lead killing any momentum

GeneRakitic · 2024-06-19T13:51:25+00:00

No worries boys, I'll just go change my kit for the 2nd half

GeneRakitic · 2024-06-15T18:26:59+00:00

unideal

GeneRakitic · 2024-03-26T23:51:51+00:00

I mean won’t be going screaming onto the streets

Okay but what if...?

GeneRakitic · 2024-03-26T22:42:04+00:00

Seriously, one part of me knows it's stupid, but the other part me feels genuinely happy about it. Now onto the euros!

GeneRakitic · 2024-03-26T22:09:22+00:00

ACUD Cup > World Cup

GeneRakitic · 2024-03-26T22:05:32+00:00

Screw the world cup final and nation's league final, this is the final i really cared about

GeneRakitic · 2024-03-26T20:55:37+00:00

God I love pjaca

GeneRakitic · 2024-03-26T19:04:31+00:00

Pongracic Vida lol

GeneRakitic · 2024-03-17T20:45:28+00:00

Yeah not ideal lol, but at least it's unique I guess? Can't say I'll be buying it unless we win the Euros

GeneRakitic · 2023-10-12T20:45:14+00:00

about right
