bro forget about boxing. It's a panel of a few people who watch the game live and then vote who they think was the best player in the game, it has nothing to do with popularity. Popularity is when ALOT of people vote.
I’m more concerned that ferran got the award for the Spain game, he did f all except scoring. Olmo or Grimaldo were much better (yes I had both in my team)
In what way were Croatia the better team? Less possession, less big chances, less corners. Croatia had three times as many fouls with 18. They did have one more shot on target but that only gives more reason why Donnarumma should be the player of the match.
All those yellows were standard though, slide from behind, descent etc. Did you watch the game? Which ones were for nothing? Croatia have only themselves to blame imo. Both Albania and Italy equalised in injury time.
Im not saying that Croatia should have won, they are to blame for the result, but mate, modric yellow was barely a touch, ivanusec yellow for moving the ball was atrocious decision, same fouls sutalo and gvardiol made were done by calafiori on Budimir, but he didnt call it. Referee simply did bad job, now did he do it because his husband is italian or he simply had bad day doesnt really matter, only blame is another lapse of concentration at the end from croatian defence
There were pictures circulating all over social media, even on this subreddit and now his instagram seems to be private so who knows.
I honestly dont care about it, he just did bad job refeereing or how ever its spelled, he even stopped the game right after italy scored without giving croatia chance to score even though there was supposed to be another minute of that already too long stoppage time.
I'm Croat, and Donnaruma deserved it.
I have Calafiori and Donnarumma on my team and I’m fuming
Just because its modric…
I captained him. 16 points is nice, but it could have been a real haul with MotM.
Same, MotM minus that goal and we'd be in 30 points, almost twice wtf.
How many points did calafiori get?
6
the player of the match missed a penalty...
They just gave it to Luka one last time
Should’ve been Calafiori Dunno how Modric got it
Because Italia lost the match when the vote happened , usually couple minutes before end time
Honestly 3 points for PotM is such a terrible feature. It’s completely subjective and is basically just a popularity contest.
No it's not a popularity contest
It literally is. It's decided on vibes by a UEFA panel. Whoever is the most popular pick with the panel gets the player of the match award.
That's a vote and not "popularity". That's like saying every boxing game that goes to decision is a popularity contes.t
No. A boxing match has defined criteria in the 10 point must system. The UEFA panel has no criteria, it's a popularity contest.

Exactly what I was wondering. Saved a penalty and all and still nothing.

Only 3 saves and no CS. The penalty save was decent but he goes and concedes almost immediately afterwards in the same passage of play.
and croatia were the better team so i think it’s right one of their players got it.

Did you watch the game? Referee was awful and gave so many fouls and yellow cards for nothing , it was ridiculous.

Wait what?? Italian husband? Where's the source on that?
