QF July 7 Russia v. Croatia [R]

you just won bigsoccer

 

I guess the Zeus equivalent of football died when Greece won EC 2004.

 

C'mon, Croatia...

 

Sure, why should quality football win out? That's this world cup in a nutshell

 

shockingly terrilble PKs. I can't believe I'm saying this but the most convincing set of PKs has come from England! Those were some hard convincing beauties. Lol. three missed, two made....

 

And the Brazilian went from king of russia to...I dont know what.

But he just ruined his glory.

 

Please watch American Football instead. Its clear you dont love The game. Just spewing hate all this WC. No respect for tactics or defending whatsoever.

 

I hadn't realised that Mario Fernandes had actually played once for Brazil. That really shouldn't happen. If you pick a lane, you should stick to it.

 

Wow congrats Croatia. What a rumble!

 

Crakitic comes through again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bye, Russia!!!!!!!!!

Croatia-England...

 

Well good fight by Russia. Over achieved in my opinion.

 

What a game! Congrats, Croatia! Russia should be proud for fighting spirits, never giving up...

 

Bad luck to the russkies. Bearing in mind how people thought they'd do they've done wonderfully.

 

Lol. I have far more respect for the game than you. I don't look to 11 players in the box for 120 minutes as good soccer. Good defending is great, but merely packing the box isn't good defending. If you understood the sport, you might get that.

 

Sad for Russia.

But the best match of the day.

Russians should be proud. They didnt lose a single game in normal time.

Surprised everyone, hope football becomes more and more common in Russia after that.

They have my respect.

 

Man, Rakitic is lethal in this shoot out...England does not want to go to PK with Croatia...

 

WOW what a fight this turned out to be. Russia had a greeat run.
Croatia will now limp into the semis.

 

Heartbreaking for Russia.....but the weight of a nation told on a couple of those penalties.

Croatia through.

Probably the best footballing side on this side of the draw...but they have struggled to show it in the lastt 2 knockout games.

Interesting semi finals that could go either way.

 

Russia didn't do it in this match.
Just in a few momments of the match, but they made Croatia sweat, and deserves respect.

 

No, certainly in this match they were far far more positive.

 

They did face two of the most defensive teams around. It's not easy to break these teams down.
