Zip Croatia offered nothing
So disappointing they have gone through.


Disagree, they bossed the midfield all game - just no real talent up front to make the difference. Croatia were very good.


They sat deep and played for the draw. They created next to nothing
they are in the semi finals, Brazil aren’t

They did what they needed to do to nullify Brazil's attacking talent, you saw what happened to South Korea when they gave them space, right?

Royal Rother Brazil are a very talented but cocky bunch - they’ll now think they can do what they did for 30 mins against SK to everyone.

That sort of believe-the-hype cockiness will be their undoing.

ALL celebrations are shite - just shake hands and run back to the centre circle like real men.

Bunch of dancing pussies.


I actually didn’t watch the game today, but am fcuking delighted!! :lol:

John Madejski's Wallet Spain were the big boys in their game


Croatia aren't minnows anymore. They're a country who always get to the latter stages, and have arguably the best midfielder in the world over the last 20 years.

Personally I want teams who try to attack and go for the win to play in the latter stages rather than teams who play for penalties from kick off.

Well yes but I prefer the more positive sides getting through. Croatia are not great to watch
Not for me.

If Croatia tried to attack they would be going home.

Do agree, but if you’re a lesser nation you cut your cloth to give yourselves the best chance to win. Croatia have done that very well indeed and have to be applauded. Despite what FIFA have done to try and destroy the defensive side of the game it is as much part of playing as the more exciting stuff.

I can take defensive football from Croatia if it knocks the media w@nkfest over Brazil on the head.

The best teams find a way. Brazil didn't.

Why did they put Neymar last? Surely you put him first, get a foothold in the shootout.

Time to scrap penalties and decide another way. Like discipline or even xg.

Football terrorists like Croatia need to be stopped from boring their way to finals.

LUX right, just put 20 euros on Croatia v Brazil at 8/1 with Paddy Power. Crazy price, Croatia are no mugs, finalists last time out, and I reckon Brazil (who are of course the better team at the moment) may well underestimate them.

You can lolz at me later.

Congrats

Better still, not play the game and let the media decide who should win :roll:
