I can’t think of the last time a club won the CL with that much comfort. You've got a cracking young team though. Some of your players have it all to be big stars going into the future. 7 minutes ago, Spike said: Well who are the superstars of the next generation? Who takes up the mantle of being the most globally recognised player? Mbappe, Haaland, De Jong, Pedri, Fati, Foden, Camavinga, Mount, Havertz, etc. The future looks very bright to be honest, just not necessarily the present.
Eco Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Croatia has been soooo poor today. Spain leads 3-1 after scoring all 4 goals in the game.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted June 28, 2021 Subscriber Posted June 28, 2021 Spain have been really decent here.

None of those players are touching superstardom maybe except for the first two. 19 minutes ago, Whiskey said: Mbappe and Haaland. I like Haaland at least.
Michael Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Croatia score, it's 3-2 with 5 minutes left. It's going to be a tense end to this game!

Spike Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 1 minute ago, Cicero said: What is Superstardom? Messi/Ronaldo levels? Yeah, the level that makes them famous outside of the sport. People that don't watch football don't know who Mount, de Jong, etc are, they do know Cristiano, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Messi, Maradona, etc
Michael Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Super equalising goal!!! Excellent team goal for Croatia!!
Michael Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Lovely header by Orsic as he scores his 2nd goal of the match. Get ready for extra time chaps!
Whiskey Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 I bet @SirBalon's pants came off after the Ferran goal. My pants came off at 3-3.
Moderator Tommy Posted June 28, 2021 Moderator Posted June 28, 2021 Hrvatska monster mentality! Idemo!
Michael Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Spain must be psychologically fckd right now. This extra time should be very interesting.
Michael Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Wow, Orsic nearly got his hattrick there, good effort! His confidence must be sky high right now!
Michael Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Kramaric has a shot blocked by the Spanish keeper! Croatia are literally taking the game to Spain now in extra time. How this tie has turned around.

Pedri and Fati are still 18 and are doing things that you'd expect from players quite a bit older than them would be doing. You can't predict what happens in the future as players can soon fall off, or injuries can destroy them, but the potential to be stars is definitely there. 12 minutes ago, Spike said: Yeah, the level that makes them famous outside of the sport. People that don't watch football don't know who Mount, de Jong, etc are, they do know Cristiano, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Messi, Maradona, etc Even alot of football fans didn't know who Messi or Iniesta were when I used to rave about the talent they had in 2006. Not saying the above will be that good of course as they and C.Ronaldo don't come around often, but they can certainly be generation-type players. But nobody said they'd be Pele or Maradona either way, just that the future of the sport has alot of talent.
Michael Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 What a strike by Morata!! Lovely goal!! What have you critics(including myself) got to say about him now!!
Eco Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Great goal for Spain, and I am happy to see it's Morata!
Subscriber Dan+ Posted June 28, 2021 Subscriber Posted June 28, 2021 Proud to say I never, ever doubted Alvaro Morata.
