Day 18: Croatia vs Brazil | Netherlands vs Argentina (QF 1&2)

Boohoo, people from countries of 50-80m people giving out about Croatia with 4m people deciding to sit back. Maybe try to be good enough to beat it instead of crying.
 
Croatia came prepared for the penalties. Right through the middle both of them
 
I just realized that Vlasic looks like Luka Karabatic.
 
?Croatia gonna win this.
 
modric really is class - wonder if it was a tactic: first two down middle, then rest go for corners
 
Do Croatia just do 9 hours of penalties and a bit of fitness in training ?
 
I have no stats to back this up but there's something about a team that concedes minutes before a shootout going on to lose that shootout. It's that gut punch that just deflates a team.
 
Would be justice for Croatia to lose this on penalties. Lose on the one and only tactic they've had for decades. Hopefully they'll have a rethink afterwards. They are a damned good team otherwise, just negative as feck.
Yet here they are.....about to knock out Brazil
