    That's going to be a penalty 
    That aged well
  • Thank god that wasnt given as a penalty... Would have been a joke given the push

    It may well have been given if the attacker wasn't already in an offside position.

    I'd absolutely hate it if Portugal won the world Cup.

    Anyone but them!


    Argentina or Portugal for me.

    If we don't win it, I'd like it to be Morocco (unlikely I know) or Netherlands.

    Croatia won't be able to withstand this much longer
  • Since they won the trophy in 2002, Brazil have not progressed past a European side in the knockouts of a World Cup…

    2006:
    Ghana 3-0 W
    France 0-1 L

    2010:
    Chile 3-0 W
    Netherlands 1-2 L

    2014:
    Chile 1-1 (3-2p) W
    Colombia 2-1
    Germany 1-7 LOL

    2018:
    Mexico 2-0 W
    Belgium 1-2 L

    2022:
    South Korea 4-1 W
    Croatia..?

    Netherlands for LVG, that would be a story.  Not at our expense though.
  • Amusing that referees have their names on the back of their shirts as well. Perfect for anyone wanting a Michael Oliver replica shirt

    Hopefully at some point we'll hear a chant of "Who's the wanker in the black?" and the ref will turn around and give it the thumb over each shoulder pointing at their name like a celebrating goalscorer.

    Nobody in this Croatia team wants to have a shot
  • That Gvardiol at the back is having another really good game.
  • Croatia have done a pretty good job on Brazil so far. Their quality in midfield and experience means they've denied Brazil the possession required to really build pressure, but at the same time they don't look like scoring themselves. Understandably they don't want to open up too much because then Brazil will likely hurt them.

    I think Plan A for Croatia is penalties.

    I think you right Croatia will be happy to take penalties I think

    Another knockout match, another 30 minutes of extra time for Croatia.
  • I'm glad I'm not watching Croatia against Spain, as that would have been 2 hours of midfielders passing it sideways.

    The longer it stays 0-0 the more chance Croatia have of winning, even without Pens.

    That's a shame. Lovely goal though
  • Taken a long time but that's a brilliantly worked goal
  • A deserved lead for Brazil. Only one team trying to win this game.
  • Can't abide Neymar or the hype that is always around Brazil.... but fair play, that was top drawer.
