Luka Modric hits out at England after World Cup win

Uncategorized

Luka Modric has accused English journalists and pundits of showing a lack of respect to Croatia and conceded his teammates had used the criticism to motivate them to a win against England in their World Cup semi-final. Modric impressed as Croatia came from behind to win in Moscow but the Real Madrid midfielder was unhappy with sections of the English media, some of whom had predicted an easy win for England. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); “People were talking … English journalists, pundits from television,” he told ITV. “They underestimated Croatia tonight and that was a huge mistake. All these words from them we take, we were reading and we were saying: ‘OK, today we will see who will be tired.’ They should be more humble and respect their opponents more...

Brazil reveal starting XI for World Cup quarter-final with Belgium

Uncategorized

Brazil coach Tite has boldly decided to reveal his starting XI more than 24 hours before their World Cup quarter-final match with Belgium. Brazil progressed to the last eight of the tournament after a 2-0 victory over Mexico and are favourites to reach the semi-finals on Friday evening. In the lead-up to Brazil’s defeat of Mexico, Tite made the decision to release his team early – and it did not appear to help their opponents. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); And Tite has once again decided to name his starting XI well in advance of the much-anticipated game between Belgium and Brazil. Marcelo, who was out with a back problem against Mexico, returns to start ahead of Filipe Luis at left-back and Manchester City's Fernandinho will start ahead of Casemi...

Radamel Falcao blasts ‘biased’ referee in England’s win over Colombia

Uncategorized

Colombia striker Radamel Falcao has blasted the performance of referee Mark Geiger in England’s World Cup last 16 penalty shootout victory and claims he was biased towards the Three Lions.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Colombia committed a total of 23 fouls, and received six yellow cards, while an assistant even shoulder barged Raheem Sterling as City forward walked down the tunnel at the end of first half.

Argentina boss asks Lionel Messi for permission to make substitution against Nigeria

Uncategorized

Argentina boss Jorge Sampaoli consulted Lionel Messi about substitutions in the game as they overcame Nigeria to advance to the last 16 of the World Cup. Barcelona star Messi gave Argentina an early lead with a remarkable goal but, after Nigeria equalised through Victor Moses, it was defender Marcos Rojo who struck the late winner to send the side through. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Argentina have been much of a debate after failing to win their first two matches, and there were rumours prior to the game that the players had staged a coup and selected the team themselves. There were five changes to the starting XI, with Gonzalo Higuain brought back to lead the line and Willy Caballero dropped for debutant Franco Armani. Incredibly, even during t...

Argentina’s hopes of reaching the last-16 stage are now in the balance after they were beaten by Croatia in Nizhny Novgorod.

Hummels blasts Germany tactics after shock Mexico defeat

Uncategorized

Mats Hummels said Germany's tactical approach was wrong after the World Cup title holders lost their opening game 1-0 to Mexico. Hirving Lozano scored the only goal of the Group F match, but Mexico wasted several chances on the break to record an even larger margin of win. Germany, meanwhile, had 26 shots without causing Guillermo Ochoa many problems, although the Mexico goalie made nine saves in ensuring a memorable clean sheet. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hummels felt Germany did not heed the warning of their warm-up friendly against Saudi Arabia that ended in a slim 2-1 victory, their only success in seven games since the end of the World Cup qualifying campaign. "It's pretty simple. We played like we did against Saudi Arabia, but against a be...

Zidane reveals why he left Real Madrid

Uncategorized

Zinedine Zidane has insisted he did not leave his Real Madrid post as manager just so he could take over as France coach.

"The most important thing is to support the team of France," he told TF1 . "I didn't stop to want to take the team of France. I stopped to make a parenthesis. "I'm behind the French team. We want it to bring back a secon...
