Dugout Discussion – Turkey vs Croatia

12 June 2016 673 comments

Sunday’s matches begin with the opening Group D fixture, as Turkey take on Croatia in what, on paper, looks a well-matched encounter.

Despite failing to impress in qualifying, Turkey head into the tournament in fine fettle, winning four of their last five friendly encounters – the recent defeat to England the only blot on their copybook. Indeed, Fatih Terim’s unit are also undefeated in eight competitive matches.

Croatia will be favourites for this afternoon’s clash, however. Ante Cacic’s men are bristling with proven talent and have won six of their last seven outings, including the recent 10-0 drubbing of San Marino just over a week ago.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Never cash out. Bookies chuck an extra 30 to 60% on their margin with cash out. Beating them is hard, beating them while cashing out is impossible.
