World Cup: R16: Croatia vs. Denmark, 7/1/2018

[LemmyUlanov55]

Wow. One of the most ridiculous shootouts I've seen in more than 30 years. Congrats Croatia!

Kinders could score more than twice on PKs.

 

[JWK]

Entertaining ending

 

[Chimaera]

I feel bad because Denmark is a likeable bunch, but Croatia deserved to go through after that goal being taken away from the breakaway

 

[Natey]

Modric looks like Rumpelstiltskin from Once Upon a Time.

 

[SuperScript29]

That was such a cliff hanger, the best world cup I've seen so far.

 

[Alex K]

Hell of a PK's

 

[Suiteness]

Jesus, this was like a African Nations Cup shootout

 

[Live in the Now]

Subasic was poor on the first minute goal, but he definitely redeemed himself in the end. Better team advanced.

 

[kihei]

Croatia by the skin of their teeth.

 

[Bondurant]

Keepers were beasts and men of the match.

 

[Troubadour]

The last Danish penalty was one of the worst I've seen that were actually on target.

 

[Evilo]

My thoughts as well. I was pulling for Denmark, but not after that incident.

 

[The Moose]

Congrats Croatia!

 

[Suiteness]

Imagine that, if Croatia had lost, England would have been the De Facto favorites in that bracket. Which means they would have bottled it in a hurry.

 

[Savant]

None of these guys can hit the top corner I guess

Hard and low. Always. No one wants to do a Baggio

 

[maclean]

That finale definitely made up for the snoozer of a second half

Really? Denmark carried the play more today than Croatia did. Croatia has yet to play a good team IMO, they were my pick to win it all but now I'm not so sure.

 

[MXD]

I would've liked both of these teams winning, and the other two losing.

 

[robertmac43]

I always feel for the team that losses in penalties... sad stuff

 

[hatterson]

Hard and low. Always. No one wants to do a Baggio

Hard and low works if the keeper stays on his line. If he’s off early, like both of these were, you either have to put height on it or deceive him.

 

[The Moose]

Wow. One of the most ridiculous shootouts I've seen in more than 30 years. Congrats Croatia!

THE most ridiculous shootout was in 1986, Champions League final between Steaua Bucharest and Barcelona, în Seville. Check it out. The live memory of it gives me goosebumps even now.

 

[Corto]

Ajahdjjdhdhdhdjdjdjdbshdbvsbd need more beer rjjririrjrjrjr

Hats off to Denmark, the played a hell of a game, shut our midfieldb down completely.
But after the Rebic scene, I feel this was deserved.

 

[The Moose]

I always feel for the team that losses in penalties... sad stuff

Yeah, me too.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

After Modric missed..it seemed so unlikely for Croatia to win the shootout, actually amazed they did it. I don't mind the Danes, but Croatia staying in it is probably better for the tournament.

 

[Ivan13]

Rebic was immense. How he toyed with that guy on the right wing was hilarious.
