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

[Stray Wasp]

That was easier than it should have been.

 

[Ceremony]

Oh me of little faith.

 

[Firsov99]

Kutepov overcommited. 1-1

 

[Blender]

Putrid defending on that one. Glad Croatia is back in this.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Somebody should have pressured that guy

 

[Halladay]

Good job. No bus.

 

[MaxV]

That was awful defense.

What was Kudryashov doing there?

 

[cgf]

Good thing they started Mandzo cause they'll need him now

EDIT:
lol again

 

[Firsov99]

Tie game!

My Estonian neigbours liked that.

He must not be from Narva

 

[bambamcam4ever]

Fox sports is so bad. No mention of what was developing until the ball was in the net.

 

[offkilter]

Yup Croatian president is a milf.

 

[Stray Wasp]

I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised by how much trouble Dzyuba's physical presence is giving Croati'a defence, but I am.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

nice

 

[Sol]

Yup Croatian president is a milf.

Googled...


Yes. Lol.

Kutepov overcommited, and Ignashevich, for some reason, was waiting for the play to develop.

I think Ignashevich still couldn't believe that he wasn't watching this match with his family...

Her Russian counterpart appears to be that bloke out of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

To paraphrase Barry Davies, 'It was two against five, but the five were rubbish.'

 

[MaxV]

That replay looks even worst from Kudryashov.

Left his man to cover empty space and even fell down.

Really miss Zhirkov.

For sure. If it weren’t for the two starting center backs to go down with ACL, He wouldn’t have played now.

 

[Eisen]

There is a lot of running but not a lot of coordination anymore. Like headless chicken. I think the break now is needed for both teams.

Both teams have seemed a bit rattled by the goals. The play has been a lot messier since Russia scored the first one.

 

[KrejciMVP]

1-1, you'll take that if you're Russia

 

[Alklha]

Croatia go a goal down, picked up the tempo and equalised quickly. Then drop it right down again.

Playing with fire with that approach.

 

[cgf]

He still shouldn't really be playing, even with injuries to the other already integrated options. He can't react fast enough anymore and it's not even like he's organizing the whole defense. Bringing him back from the dead over someone who hadn't been integrated yet but could actually play was an error...but I griped about it enough when the rosters came out lol.
