daylight Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Croatia certainly the best side here, a lot of things not coming off for them. I really hope they click better in the second half, from an entertainment point of view, 2 poor games so far today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordan Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Wasn't the keeper's fault but it's the only place he could get the ball through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I hate about most people and goalkeeping comments. Goalkeepers, especially ones playing on this level, simply have the instinct and know if they can get the ball or not. He had no chances there. Trying to dive for it could've just ended in the ball hitting the bar and deflecting into goalkeeper's back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themadsheep2001 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Peter Shilton seems to agree with Neville, for what's that worth: @GNev2 right on ITV Croatia goalkeeper too far off his line for Russia goal ! If he was 2yds off his line he could have maybe got a couple of steps in and dived for it maybe saving it !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigcwwe Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I'm with Neville on this. GK was way too far off his line which meant he gave himself no chance with the shot, not hard to grasp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
git2thachoppa Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 If 2 former defenders are saying he should've been further back, I'm going to accept the keeper wasn't well positioned. Whether he could've saved it is harder to judge and more for the opinion of former goalkeepers, but ultimately irrelevant to me, it's a great goal. If he does it twice then it's time for further scrutiny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I'm with Dixon in the sense that he's probably not stopping that, but he's definitely way too far forward, so he's never even got a prayer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily the better team tonight. I hope they win as I think Croatia vs England will be a tight open affair, sick of these backs to the walls teams. England vs Russia will be all England trying to break them down while Russia try to hit on the counter, basically what we seen today With England vs Sweden.
