He won't be happy, but he scored 2 goals in the best competition in the World and now time to rest.
Well done Mitro and let's now move on and consolidate in the Premier League.
Mitro doing an interview for our national television at the moment and he maybe looks even worse than after Scotland. Anyone who is happy about this, don't know Mitro at all. He's gutted.
Feel for him but Gls he can rest before we resume the PL season
What a fantastic header his goal tonight was. Textbook Mitro. Looking forward to having him home.
Superb header tonight but the damage for Serbia was really done when they let the lead slip against Cameroun.

Difference is that against Scotland he chose to take the the glory penalty and missed, so clearly this impacted him as he carried some blame. After his WC performance he can hold his head up high. Gutted but confidence higher I expect...

I feel for him. I just hope this isn't going to affect him so mentally that he underperforms for us.
I feel for him and Odoi these players have backed our club 100% and I think it's right as fans to do the same for them. It's alien to me not to want them to experience success at what might be their only world Cup finals in the hope they return early. As always I respect other people's opinions but I will be cheering on our 3 remaining players to greater success.

I get this view point, and in general I would, however in his case where he didn't train with us for what 2 weeks? Prior to the WC missing 2 games i think, i want him back and fit for us for the remainder of the season. I purely am looking selfishly for what I want for my club which I do think comes before country as his salary each week is paid by us and we will for sure need him

My sentiments too.
I didnt see the game last night so do people feel he is over that injury?

3 weeks to go till palace game - time is a great healer - I think he will be fine mentally by Boxing Day
Sorry for Mitro, he clearly wanted to progress further in the World Cup.
Now it is over to Silva to ensure that Mitro is well rested, fully fit and in the right frame of mind for the Palace match on Boxing Day, no rush time is now on his side.
Best outcome all round. Serbia were never going to win it, so it's good Mitro scored a couple of goals and can now rest up and get ready for Boxing Day.

It certainly looked like it to me.
Looking at the picture of him on the Ofal, I'm absolutely gutted for him.
Fulham (Mitro) v Arsenal (Xhaka) could be an interesting game when it comes along. 👊 :protest card:
Three home with three still there and the probability that Portugal could survive until at least the semi final.
Mitro is our main striker but the other three are nearly as important.
I thought he looked much sharper and leaner last night . Overall I think he ended up a bit frustrated as the service was poor in the second half and the team kind of lost their discipline. Hopefully Marco can help him get mentally ready for the premier league restart , last night looked like it took a lot from him emotionally . Decent amount of time to recharge and go again .
When he missed the penalty, he would have felt their exit was on him. However this time he is absolutely not to blame for Serbia's exit, their complete inability to defend is the only reason they are going home.
Silva will get him firing and motivated also time is a great healer.
He'll have extra motivation and ability to get to and perform with serbia at the next euros and world cup. Time for the serbia squad to consolidate, grow and learn the lessons.
He's youngish still and their talisman, with vlahovic, pavlovic and tadic (though less sure about tadic's age), they've got a good spine there with room to grow. And milenko savic.
Also Tim and Jedi on the plane, these three lads definitely need some R&R before resuming training
It's not like Serbia are good enough to even come close to winning it, so get over it, get yourself home and get fit to finish our season in style
It's Fulham that pays him 100K + a week not Serbia

That's a really condescending thing to say. Croatia who are a smaller country by population and didn't have a much better team (on paper) reached the final last World Cup. We completely outplayed Portugal in both qualifying games and I guess you would never say that Portugal are not even close to being good enough to win the WC. We played poorly at this WC, but that doesn't mean we are nowhere near good enough to compete against the very best when we are at our best level.

Certainly didn't mean to offend and I'd say the same about England

I'm sorry then, but it kind of sounded like that. I appologize if I interpreted it wrong.
Still, he can be disappointed that we didn't go through in the group as we had a chance to do that at least.
I'll nominate Ream as player of the tournament for the USA. Jedi was a little too loose with the ball at times or he might get my vote. (Tyler Adam had that locked up until he forgot to track back on the first goal today). Would have been such an amazing moment if Tim could have gotten a clean strike on that ball that fell to him in front of the goal. He had a clean look at PBR.

I thought Ream was excellent but would give the USMNT MVP to Robinson. I think there will be many after him.

Eh, Robinson wasn't particularly good in either of the last two matches for the US. If I was going to pick a player of the tournament for the US he wouldn't even make my top 3.

I thought both very good in all games, Jedi particularly.
Just shows how opinions differ!
Both played well.

I can kind of understand how one might see the Iran match differently because he did some things well in that match, but for me he was just way too poor in possession (led the US in possession lost on the day). However I'm really not sure how anyone could say he looked "very good" yesterday. I'm willing to believe that he may have been gassed from going 90 in the three previous matches but Dumfries got a ton of joy down his side of the pitch and of course there was the 3rd goal where he inexplicably left Dumfries unmarked.
Only our Snap Dragon Portuguese star left out there.

and yet they put Ronaldo on, it would have been better putting on players that will be the future for Portugal to give them some experience.
