Are you sure Croatia dominated Turkiye? You need to watch the game again. So what if you hit the crossbar? The possession and the threats both teams created were I think pretty equal. By the way there is a luck factor involved in just about every game. Yes I agree that luck has been on Turkiye's side but trust me it is not just luck that got them here to the semis. I have seen Germany getting lucky many times but I don't take away any credit from them.
I have said before on this forum that Croatia is a great team. I also was cheering for them during the 98 World Cup. But I have to disagree with you on one thing. Croatia did not dominate Turkey. If you think so you either need to watch the game again while being unbiased or you simply don't understand this game.
Better than Russia? You need to watch Russia's game against the Dutch today. I think you'll be changing that statement pretty fast..
