Nope. Our chants are pretty poor tbh.

We don't need more.
Ohh.
Well then maybe. Haven't watched any of their games tbh.
We'll go with a defensive strategy though, we just Can't play open football, cause we're gonna get punished.

Michael McGovern will have no shortage of decent offers after the Euros, one would think!
Fingers crossed the other results help them through!

Which is weird, because Bundesliga has some of the best!]
Don't they play against Slovakia?

Depends on results from other groups I think but it's either Albania, Slovakia or one of the teams from Group F.

There's somewhat a chance of this happening, but what about group E? Sweden beats Belgium (lol) or draws, and Ireland beats Italy with 3 goals? lol
Portugal needs a tie with goals to be ahead of N. Ireland, 0-0 is not enough (concerning ties alone)
Edit: 1-1 probably also not enough, fair-play is the next tiebreaker..
It's terrible, good teams will be out too soon, easy path for damn Spaniards.
jts
...hate me...
If Portugal ties 0-0 Northern Ireland is through.
N. Ireland = 3 points, 0GD, 2 goals scored
Portugal = 3 points, 0GD, 1 goal scored
If Portugal ties 1-1 it goes down to yellow cards.
More than 1-1 and they're through.
Welp, this EC was a disaster of epic proportions for Ukraine. How they managed to ruin the team between qualification and the tournament is a mystery, but the result is obvious....
Finally some movement and motivation visible in the today's game, but impotent finishing and weak defense during set pieces (again!) lead to another loss.
And the last change.... Changing the only forward to Tymoschuk infuriated the stadium and probably whole Ukraine. Fomenko burned all bridges and will be universally hated by fans everywhere in Ukraine now, despite leading us through the play-offs for the first time in history.

It doesn't help that anything with Germans and chants is almost immediately associated with WW2 internationally.

As a Croatian I'm not going to watch the match. What happened last time was a bit too much for me and there are mutliple indicators that the scum from last time will be at it again. Croatian police have warned UEFA last time what was going to happen - they were not taken seriously. Instead, they fined the FA which is exactly what the hooligans want since they want to harm the FA. The FA, mind you, is full of scum of its own but there is a fine line between protest and firing a cannon at a foreign person who had nothing to do with it. The logical thing would have been to axe the attendance for the match - UEFA did not do it.
Yes, it would suck for every normal Croatian fan and citizen who are overwhelmingly pissed off at what happened. It would suck for every person who sang with the Turkish and Czech fans and displayed stellar behaviour. It would suck for all the normal folks who aggresively tried to stop the 30 or so idiots who ruined the match. But it's like the people who have to know what's happening either don't know or don't care.
Now Croatian police is again, with the overwhelming support of our government (that's a first) and the people in large, warning of another planned incident to stop this match and again they are not being taken seriously.
I can't relax watching a match I fear will result in stupidity again. Especially since it can result at further undeserved country shaming because of a few dozen no-lifers. Fuck that, man.

Italy - Spain in the next round would be nice. Go Croatia! I'm suddenly glad Belgium won't win the group. Great move by Wilmots.

both teams will play to avoid Italy.
Italy will be ''please not Spain, please not Spain''

Website here says the UEFA is warned that croatia supporters will attack the referee in the 30st minute. :/
Nothing, same as last time. Maybe a larger fine than last time.

If the fans throw shit again they'll get their asses handled to them
Croatia is fielding a reserve squad, the aim is to lose at least by 2 goals, and hope that Czechs come through.
Man imagine how weak the final is going to be if Spain is in the bottom half of the draw

Shameful.
Hello my baby, Hello my honey, Hello my ragtime gal!
EDIT: Reddit has the same idea. https://gifsound.com/?gifv=3TD72go&v=4sT99Y4AnmA&s=10
As a Croatian, I really hope the game is played without any of that shit that Hooligans planed.
I mean, come the fuck on... Planning to assault the referees? What the fuck is wrong with them? I always said we need to ban Bad Blue Boys and Torcida Split. Love how Germany is handling it now, as Hooligans are Criminal Organisations here.
