Croatia fell well short of expectations as they produced an unimaginative performance in a 0-0 draw by Morocco in their World Cup Group F opener on Wednesday.
Zlatko Dalic s men – the runners-up four years ago – were strong favourites at Al Bayt Stadium but crafted few opportunities of note, the stalemate handing the early initiative to Belgium ahead of their clash with Canada.
In the stands, Croatia were so outnumbered they essentially resembled an away team, but Morocco s superior backing did not translate in to on-pitch dominance and were lucky to still be level at the break after Nikola Vlasic went close.
Dejan Lovren saw another reasonable chance go begging early in the second half, but otherwise Croatia failed to take advantage of their considerably gre…

Josh Allen threw for just 265 yards and was picked off once against the Pats as Buffalo lost its second game in three weeks. It was a surprising turn of events for a team that entered the season with championship aspirations, but the Bills insist they aren’t panicking yet. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, meanwhile, already look like one of the NFL’s biggest overachievers. The Bucs have three wins in their first six games, which puts them on pace to shatter their preseason win total projection of 6. Will they get closer to that goal this evening on Thursday Night Football, or will the Bills find their footing and re… Playoff football is here and it doesn’t get much better than the Packers facing the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium this Sunday.

The CFCB found after its investigations and hearings that the Abu Dhabi United Group (ADUG), the company through which Sheikh Mansour of the Abu Dhabi ruling family owns City, had funded payments in 2012 and 2013, understood to be £15m each year, that were reported to the Football Association and to Uefa as independent sponsorships from the telecoms company Etisalat. Verdict that kept Manchester City in … Daley Blind has announced his retirement from international duty for the Netherlands. The defender made his debut in 2013 against Italy and went on to make 108 appearances for his country, the fifth-most in the nation s history, netting three goals. He was part of the Dutch squad that reached the semi-finals at Euro 2024, though only made one substitute appearance, coming on in the latter stages of their round of 16 tie against Romania. It was an honour to wear the Orange shirt 108 times. For me, that is the highest achievable as a player: representing your country, Blind said in a post on social media. Het was een eer om het Oranje-shirt 108 keer aan te mogen trekken, voor mij is dat het hoogst haalbare als speler: je land vertegenwoordigen. Elf jaar la… Chelsea announced a new five-year deal for N Golo Kante on Friday and his statistics show it is a fitting reward for the France international. After being instrumental in Leicester City s shock 2015-16 Premier League title success, he was subsequently snapped up by Chelsea and has become a key figure at Stamford Bridge. Kante joined Chelsea for a reported £30million in 2016 and enjoyed a seamless transition, instantly becoming a vital cog in Antonio Conte s title-winning side in his debut season. Chelsea suffered last term, but Kante remained a standout figure, winning the club s Player of the Year award. He has continued that trend under Maurizio Sarri, playing every minute in the Premier League for the former Napoli coach, and over the course of hi… |
