Look like they've been in the wars, Croatia.

Bit of soft goal. Poor defending allows ball to trickle in

Eve better if they win.

Hopefully the semi final would be one game too much for them.

Croatia Keeper's doing well with a "dodgy hamstring"

Well... He was.

Not so well there!

Blimey 2 2

Unbelievable. All still to play for in order to face England.

That was a tremendous cross

Always going to happen the minute I posted that!

Got to say the Russian fans are fantastic. Great noise

Great for England both of these teams have used a lot of energy and some players look very tired

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Russia are dogged though, so want Croatia through, even though on paper they look the better team.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Who will hold nerve in penalties? Tired limbs and minds might be found out from the spot.

This is a lot of pressure for Russia.

Will it inspire them or get to them?

I can see them winning it purely on the basis Croatia look completely shattered, plus a late goal must have knocked a lot out of them.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

What on earth was that?!?

 

[Paul Anthony]

That was a horror penalty, however. Might change the dynamic.

Who do England want ?

Secnd one wasn't much better, keeper just happened to go the wrong way.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Now par again. Psychological advantage Russia.

Another shocker!

 

[Paul Anthony]

Oh that was lucky for Modric!

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Close!

These have all been terrible penalties, bar maybe the first Croatian one.

 

[Paul Anthony]

That was the best one yet

 

[Deleted member 5849]

That was the best one yet

...until the Croatian one

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Croatian keeper goes way too early.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Right team won I guess. Hopefully they're all dead on their feet.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Feel really sorry for all those Russian fans

They looked it. I reckon that took more out of them than it did Russia.

many disagreeing earlier when i suggested throwing the belgium game
not looking so clever now

Have to say Russia should feel proud of it's team - players have given everything for them. Massively punched above their weight. We now have at leasta 50/50 chance of making the final - which few of us would have believed come the start of the tournament.
