I’m nervous for Josip Juranovic in his World Cup quarter final this afternoon. it is an historic occasion for a Celtic player to take part in. A win for Croatia would bring them to a third World Cup semi-final in their short history. It would also cement Josip’s claim to be one of the top defenders outside of the most monied leagues – that is a metric which is followed by scouts looking for value.
He will directly face Vinicius Jr, one of the game’s top young talents, for the third time this season. If reports are correct that there is interest in Josip from Spain, he may have to stick to his task today, as the battle with Vini is one he will be expected to cope with in future. As they demonstrated against South Korea, Brazil can ease through the gears and humiliate opponents. Any nervousness is justified.
Enjoying reports that Nantes “No 1 target” has for most of this season been sitting on the Ibrox bench. French football must be hard up. There’s a fire sale coming to a dressing room near Milngavie soon.
Good luck this afternoon, Jura’!

Croatian keeper foils Neymar, Brazil labouring but showing some threat now.
And keeper again for Croats.
I think some on here would be better joining a Celtic monopoly board game league
Brazil bring on the big man up front.
SFTB
The same posters moaned about Dedryk Boyata going for nothing, and how it was Peter’s fault.
Brazil hoping Croatia bring on Barisic.
Ref was about to book Modric there before realising who it was
Livakovic is a terrific keeper . Surprised he has been at Zagreb for 7 years.
Brazil missed a few half chances, but keeper was there when needed.
If deidco can allegedly get 11m for that breest patershun and 20m for shirley that should be the opening bid for jj.

Huns will be complaining that Barisic didn’t get a chance to show his value.
Brazil hoping he does.
Goooooool. Neymar. Great goal.
And that is Neymar.
Ballix
Magnificent goal, equals Pelé as Brazil record goal scorer.
Superb goal Neymar 1-0
Jenas wanted him off, now saying that’s why you keep him on.
Bonsoir mes amis
He played two 1-2s before taking it round the keeper. Superb
Understandable, but Croatia have not exactly played flamboyant football. Great goal
I know he’s a see you next Thursday but that was just genius, btw just saw in the crowd what should be our next away strip, green and gold hoops.
Deniabhoy true. He also came very deep to get the ball 40 yards out. Some goal.
Bring him home, wrap him up in Christmas wrapping and start opening bids at 20million spondoolies.
Oh dear, looks like penalties again.
Yes Croatia. 1-1
1 1
Brazil dillydally , boom 1=1
Wonder if JJ will fancy a penalty?
Really hoping to see a Brazil Vs Argentina, might end up with Croatia Vs Holland.
Penalties
Regardless of result, let’s just look at Croatia.
A magnificent record, and a population of only 4m.
This is what can be achieved with aggressive and focused youth development.
HH.
Greenpinata. But as dull as Greece in 2004
Whooh
Brasil brown trout.
Yessssssssssss……
Well desreved croatia
JJ in the semis, Mike Nicholson getting calls from Real Madrid.
