the albania coach is a familiar face for many PL fans


Sylvinho, whom played for Arsenal and Manchester City in england, but also in spain for Celta de Vigo and Barcelona


one of his assistents is argentinian Pablo Zabaleta (ex Man City, West Ham) and fellow brazilian Doriva (ex-Middlesbrough) whom is a quite experienced coach in brazilian league

lets bump this one a little upwards as well

for the 17:00 game of Spain - Croatia, could on paper be a interesting match

probable line ups

Spain: Simón, Carvajal, Le Normand, Nacho, Grimaldo, Merino, Rodri, Pedri, Yamal, Morata, Williams

Croatia: Livakovic, Stanisic, Sutalo, Pongracic, Gvardiol, Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic, Majer, Budimir, Kramaric



and the late night game of 20:00 Italy - Albania

Good first half for Spain and Yamal got an assist for the third goal. Unbelievable and he’s only 16 years old.

It’s amazing to see. I don’t follow La Liga so I haven’t actually heard his name ring out but I’ve looked at Yamal’s stats and he’s started nearly all the games and scored 5 goals for Barcelona last season.

It’s a huge gamble to take someone so young and we only have this game to go by so far but it already looks like it could be a good decision.

Made his Barcelona first team debut at 15 years, 9 months, and 16 days



He kinda reminds me of Chris Waddle and Cole Palmer

I think the English ref Michael Oliver was very poor in that first half - he fell for three clear dives from Croatia ,incorrect throw in decision , incorrect corner decision and missed a possible penalty when onwards of the Spanish guys was clearly pulled back in the penalty box

That shouldn’t have been a penalty or a yellow card and I didn’t get the impression that VAR wanted to check it either.

Absolute joke.

Spain should be able to get that yellow card deleted



The guy tripped himself up intentionally like comedians do ..

That is such a worry that things like that are being missed ..

Lee Dixon spotted it to his credit

Im more annoyed at the fact that VAR hasn’t corrected the decision there and then. That’s what it’s supposed to be there for and if it can’t get things like that right (which seemed clearly obvious even for me ) then what’s the point in having VAR in the first place?
