[jcs0218]

That Brazilian wasn't even touched and he went flying onto the ground.

And again

Diving the whole lot

Agree with this postovich.

Another great save-ic

Sloppy play on the counter there by Croatia 79'
Leads to a Brazil chance..

Antony should have got a yellow for the first one, but the second wasn't a dive. You can argue it wasn't a foul since the defender was there first, but at the least he nutmeg'd the defender and then ran into the defender's planted leg.

Tite's subs are trash

Not putting in Martinelli should be a fireable offense. Not only has he been in great form for Arsenal, he's looked great in this tournament.

 

[Tryamw]

Extra Soccer.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

30 minutes away from penalties.

 

[Peen]

I think Pedro has played pretty well honestly

 

[Power Man]

By big do you mean senile ?

Yes tbh

Yeah they seem to have given up on trying to score here unless it's from a very slow build-up which I don't think is the best way to go when you have Marquinhos/Thiago Silva/Casemeiro to go against. I'd like to see them be a bit braver and have Perisic/Sosa/Juranovic put more crosses in but the midfield just wants to pass the ball around instead.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Was anyone reasonable saying they'd get curbstomped? Or just our biannual visitors?

A couple posters here in a recent thread.

My take would be unreasonable view.

Croatia are expectedly responsible and nursing this to extra time and giving themselves a chance. Croatia looked exhausted though in 2nd half and getting a bit of a breather. Now its who will make a critical mistake.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Croatia out of gas, cant see them holding out for another 30 mins. Their experience is keeping them in the game, maybe eek it out to pens

 

[gary69]

Another extra-time match for Croatia.

 

[Karterthadon]

Brazil have to solve this in the first 15 minutes, Croatia is running on fumes

Agreed.

Still rolling with the useless Raphinha is laughable. Hope they go out.

Antony

Raphinha's been out of the game for awhile now

 

[jcs0218]

Antony is a bit of a diva.

 

[Brunkmeister]

I know. But he’s obviously a starter for Tite in this tournament. Which is laughable at this point since he’s shown absolutely nothing.

 

[hatterson]

Antony is a bit of a diva.

Are there any on the team that aren't? Especially the attackers.

 

[Tryamw]

Missed YC on Croatia Brazils player had a hand in his mouth..
Also Neymar lucky not to have gotten one 95'
