Should be if it's intentional and that's it.

Loved Southgates wry smile at that statement haha

Where are England in the goals scored table after the first 4 games?

I think there is something to be said for arm being in an unnatural position regardless of intention - defenders shouldn't be encouraged to adopt star fish poses.

There was a rumour that he did it so Bolsanaro would write off his tax debt in exchange - Neymar is very public Christian as well so no knowing the real reason. Whatever the reason its a no from me.

 

Yeah, grim. 

[Col city fan]

Can’t work out whether Neymar has bulked up a bit, or if he’s a tad carrying?

Croatia really controlling the midfield well but so need a top striker.

Gvardiol is everything he’s being made out to be. Looks to be a future world class CB.

I'd imagine pretty high considering the conversion rate has been unbelievable. Scoring a lot of goals doesn't necessarily mean a team has been attacking and scoring doesn't mean you've not been playing attacking.

Did Guy Mowbray just say big licks

[Lambert09]

we were linked with juranovic in the summer. 

[AjcW]

Good to see Livakovic is as good in real life as he is in FM  having a brilliant tournament.

 

No idea how he is still with Dinamo.

Would love him here.

[whoareyaaa]

Croatias passing is really slick

[HybridFox]

Non footballing colleague at work put in a meeting between 3 and 4!

 

Can now watch the second half. Thankfully haven't missed much

He did indeed

[Finnegan]

The laziness of the Brazilian press is staggering. 

 

[Col city fan]

I know his goals record in the Bundesliga belies this a little but I’ve always thought Kramaric looks lightweight. I’ve never come to a conclusion re what ‘type’ of player he is. 

[StanSP]

Why no booking for the Antony dive? 

[whoareyaaa]

Brazil could nick this, tight game

[Lionator]

6 out 7 of Croatia’s last knockout games have gone to extra time so it wouldn’t be a shock.

Could watch Modric all day, unbelieve player.

I used to like Rakitic as well. Those two were great to watch for Croatia.

One of the greatest midfield players ever. Just stuck in the same time frame as Messi / Ronaldo.
