Juranovic and scouts looking for value

239

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’!

    BDO, who’s dem?

    Everyone mesmerised with Messi, but I really do not like Argentina.

     

     

    Something Hunnish about them.

    Strange how the pundits have their favourites.

     

     

    They’re supposed to be impartial/objective.

     

     

    They were cheering Brazil a few hours ago, now it’s Argentina

  4. Croatia has a good chance of making the final. They can beat the Argies.

     

    Would be great to see!

    Justice for the GOAT after those 2 magical reverse passes and the penalty adding to the 788 goals he had last time I looked.

     

     

    Don’t know about there being ‘something hunnish’ in either team, but the Dutch certainly played like a 70s Jock Wallace team in the second half.

     

     

    Argentina stopped it from being a great night for England.

  6. Hello again all you young rebels

    the red and white are the traditional colours of Croatia. I think it is to do with the joining of eastern and western regions into one country.

     

    The 5 shields of modern Croatia represent the first shield of the country and the shields of the main regions Slavonia, Dubrovnik region, Dalmatia and Istria.

     

     

    I think that the checkerboard background and the 5 shields make one of the most iconic flags in the world.

    Rio Ferdinand on Messi:

     

     

    ” He sees things that no one else on the pitch sees”.

     

     

    Obviously never heard of Willie Collum.

  9. I suspect that Van Gaal will come in for a lot of criticism tomorrow. Had he won the shoot out, he’d be a genius. Now he’s the man that took a giant dump on total football in front of the world and has nothing to show for it.

    G.O.A.T. Pele, who was doing Cruyff turns before Johann was in long trousers.

     

     

    No one else comes near, and certainly not the doped up cheat from Argentina, the Lance Armstrong of football.

  14. Go tell the Spartim on

    Stolen from else where, unashamedly

     

     

    Don’t cry 4-3 Argentina

     

     

    If anyone bothered to investigate the nature of the GOAT, Maradona, then maybe you’d understand, the drug use, though I doubt it. Undoubtedly Pele had the more imaginative mind out of any player there’s been Maradona had more skill and if you get that from taking cocaine then Gary O’Connor would’ve won us a World Cup.
