US National Team - FM11

[Fappin Raptor]

Thats such a devastating loss. The match against Russia looks like it was pretty wild. I'm sure your heart sunk when they drew level in the 88th minute. I'm feeling a run to the semi-finals at the least in 2018.

It was because we dominated the whole first half and should have had 2 or 3 more goals. We hit the posts at least 4 times.

A brief look at Croatia

Luka Modric
Current FIFA Ranking: 12

The modern Croatian team was formed in 1990, shortly before Croatia's independence from Yugoslavia, and by 1993 had gained membership in FIFA and UEFA.[2] The team played their first competitive matches in the successful qualifying campaign for UEFA Euro 1996, leading to their first appearance at a major tournament.[1] In Croatia's FIFA World Cup debut in 1998 the team finished third and provided the tournament's top scorer, Davor Šuker. Since becoming eligible to compete in international tournaments, Croatia have missed only one World Cup and one European Championship.

A brief look at Holland

Wesley Sneijder
Current FIFA Ranking: 10

The team was first assembled in 1905. The Dutch hold the record of losing the most World Cup finals without managing a single triumph after finishing as runners-up in 1974, 1978, and 2010, losing to West Germany, Argentina and Spain respectively. They won the European Championship in 1988. At the peak of their success in the 1970s, the team was famous for its mastery of Total Football and was nicknamed Clockwork Orange for its precision passing.

It should be a good final, but not what I expected, Croatia hasn't lost at all and wins over Argentina and Brazil might give them some serious confidence. Holland looks tough, and maybe next time for the US.

It should be. Croatia already beat Holland in the first game of the tourney so the Dutch will be looking for revenge.

...there are a bunch reading this. And some in the Soccer thread. You don't do franchises for readers, the best are done for the sake of doing them

Thank you for reading. I still have this saved so don't worry. Only thing about this game is that I can only play with one team for so long before I have to switch things up. I've been playing with Everton for the last month and should be swapping back to this one soon.
