Soulac sur Mer - where I live - is going to be glorious this week. Sea only 19° or 20° though.
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

Weather sucks in France. I will stay in Monaco tonight. Hopefully, i'll go to the beach tomorrow.

Weather will be nice next week.

I enjoy the rainy weather, though. Better than those 35°C days we had last summer...where you would sweat like hell as soon as you step outta the door.

It's really sad though.

England has the same problem where only "BIG" team players tend to get picked - even if they haven't played all season or perhaps 6 times in their lives but the rest of us "Small" team fans don't bomb the team.

It's more than just team management. There's also corruption, tax evasion, politics, etc etc. The man was arrested a number of times but they're never able to prove anything.



Ah. I see. That's really unfortunate. Better ways to go about that.

It really should never have been compared in the first place

Don't you remember when Chelsea were a big team, playing in Europe?

Yeah last year, and?

Doesn't make that comparison between England and Croatia any less ridiculous.

Yes. Chelsea have been in existence only since 2004. They've spent a fortune on earning those 4 titles, FA Cups, League Cup, UCL and the UEL.
Well I do agree that they were lucky with the 2012 UCL and FA Cup but nevertheless, they played hard for the rest of the trophies!

Croatia playing with reserves. If the fans don't do anything Croatia is in the 2nd round regardless of the result so Cacic decided to give everyone a chance.

Jedvaj, Pjaca, Kalinic, Rog and Vrsaljko are playing. From the starting 11 here are Subasic, Srna, Corluka, Badelj, Perisic and Rakitic.

need to win by two to go on top of albania. i am fairly certain they'll be above group e third place so that's should be enough for next round.

I see, good luck to the Turks then. Would much rather see them in the knockouts than Albania.
