World Cup: QF: Russia vs. Croatia, 7/7/2018

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Wtf Croatia come on

 

[Stray Wasp]

One of these teams will be heading to the semis on the back of consecutive shootout victories.

Mind, the effort was there on the part of both teams to decide the game from open play.

End Croatia! DOOOO It

 

[kovacro]

Great job by Mandzukic to defend Fernandes on that equalizing goal.

f***ing poor. No more Mandza please.

I can’t watch this pk.

 

[Timeless Winter]

Modric has so much heart

Main reason I want Croatia to win.

 

[Havre]

Nobody else in football gets busted for doping either. Just feel the need to point out the obvious here and I'm not rooting for Russia.

Correct.

Do feel it is a question of degree though. A bit like Neymar and his diving. Others dive as well, but probably not as bad.

 

[cgf]

This is maybe funny to you, but it is insulting to every croatian patriot... imagine Russian wedding with German songs...

My father is a russian jew, my mother is german & the love of my life is an african american girl; you're not going to get me to agree with your lust for a revival of tribalism.

 

[Leon der Profi]

Absolutely stunning. Love it.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Let's go PK .. step up

****ing poor. No more Mandza please.

I can’t watch this pk.

Mandzukic would have been substituted several minutes earlier if you still had subs available.

 

[Sol]

Let's go boys. Russia let's go baby. YESSSS. this world cup has been amazing. So many last minute wonders

 

[Live in the Now]

I'm a big believer in all situations where there could be penalties, to only make substitutions at the point where players either will get injured or already are injured.

 

[Osprey]

The worst part about pens is how the players have to walk from half to the spot all on their own with all those eyes on them...How? I would die..

There's something even worse: walking back after missing. Imagine that.

 

[kovacro]

Mandzukic would have been substituted several minutes earlier if you still had subs available.

He had one job to do on that set piece and he didn’t do it. Absolute garbage by him. Sub or no sub. Get up in the air and challenge.

 

[Jussi]

Save!

I heard something very interesting about the England game the other night that I didn't notice watching at the time - apparently he told Pickford to walk some of the way with his teammates and have a word with them to make them feel less lonely. That's shrewd thinking.

 

[Blender]

Awful.

 

[Evilo]

Awful, awful PK.

 

[Eisen]

Worst penalty I've seen in ages.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Wow, not the best panenka there.

And Croatia up by 1

 

[The Moose]

What a poor attempt.

 

[Live in the Now]

SUBASIC THE PENALTY GOD.

 

[Tryamw]

started with a save by Croatia.

 

[Stray Wasp]

One ridiculous pen, and one good one.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Akinfeev needs to steal one
