there will be around 40-50k Croatians in the Stadium

Budimir is certainly not Christiano Ronaldo, but didn’t just score a few goals either. He scored 17 in La Liga and was the 5. top scorer. How much do they pay you Jules to not do your job?

[PasOdMater]

It's funny how all of the pundits in the studio don't know anything about Croatia.

[tomislavmamic]

Jules is a Croatian hater. We have four million people against 65 million plus frenchys. The fact that we compete says it all

[PinayGio]

Spain Croatia from 10min they talk 9 min about Spain. I love when people have pride and they don't respect Croatia. That's our motivation.

Barça national team all over again 🇪🇦💙❤️🐐🔥

Croatia old team hahaha, no no no. Experience few players with a bunch of young talented guys. You are just uninformed and delusional. This Croatia roster based on a quality and a talent is probably the best in the last 25 years. Versatile, "wide" roster. Chemistry 🔝

Budimir few goals hahaha - 17 goals in La Liga last season, he constantly pressured opponents defence, constantly running, fightning, has a good nose for a goal, really great with a header (shot or pass). Defensive line never been so skillfull and tehnically talented. And bench guys are on fire.

I have both teams picked as my Dark Horses. Croatia has the experience and play like a well oiled machine, they know to get to a Finals. Spain, young, vibrant, decent midfield but defense will be faced with a lot of questions. I feel Morata has the support and the young wingers to have a great EURO’s. May be a frantic 2-2 to start the group.

Didn't watch the video but is this a type of vid where they talk about Spain 95% of the time?

I am in full agreement that Yamal has tremendous talent and potential to be an all-time great. Putting his age aside, what exactly did he do that has them saying he had a phenomenal season?? He only scored 7 goals totals and had less assists. He wasn't even in the top 3 in either for Barca and next to Lewandowski, he played to most minutes of any of the other front men. Ferran Torres had more goals than him, played less minutes, and was out for over a month with injury and he takes endless abuse because they don't think he produces. If Yamal scores 7 goals next season, or the season after, will the hype still be positive? I am a Barca fan, but all the hype is not productive or helping the team or him. It wasn't so long ago that Ansu Fati was deemed the next Messi. Where is he?

[Orion]

Croatia will finish second in this group and then eliminate Portugal in the next round. Im just not sure who finishes 1st: Spain or Italy.

[pavlecvetanovic]

They will never learn not to sleep on Croatia...

[unwokeneuropean]

Do you know anything about croatian players? Seems to me that you know Modric and the rest of them are anonymous.

Lamine Yamal or Pedri will win Player of the tournament 💙❤️🇪🇦🔥

[Concernedworldcitizen]

Rodri was out on his feet with tiredness at the end of the season, nobody mentioned that

[Antonio-hbrd]

Italy could barely beat Montanegro, people are overrating them.

[MiKroXL]

Predi is a veteran at the age of 21 he has been exploited by Spain n Barca

[voney_m]

[Rogue.Gentleman]

Mark my words : spain is gonna slam croatia

[ddomx]

Spent the whole segment talking about Spain. Listen, stop the bias. Last 7 World Cup tournaments Croatia has played in three semi finals and one final. They had amazing runs in the Euros starting in 2008 and have recently lost another final and it was on penalties at Nations League. Modric is the best player, save Messi and Ronaldo, of the last 15 years. Really pundits, stop it. No other nation this small has had footballers and teams of this quality. And no, Uruguay almost 100 years ago does not count.
