Croatia arguably have the best shirts in the tourney - but in 5 matches, they have only been able to wear it once, and it presumably clashes with either shirt that England wear, so Croatia will be back in these same blue/black shirts.

 

[JaxBill]

Croatian squad better watch their food supply next few days. Beware if glowing entrees.

 

[El Floppo]

now russia has found their legs... and desperately pushing forward. gonna be fun the rest of the way.

 

[Slapdash]

I just cracked a beer after getting home and a Croatian goal happens? I don’t believe in coincidence 

Chug it and crack another for good measure, please.

The French blue vs the red and white checks of Croatia would be pretty

 

[El Floppo]

russia's dead balls have been fantastic. 

 

[Slapdash]

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Russian manager is a dead ringer for Vincente Del Bosque.

[El Floppo]

ok... he's up.

croatia have to get back to trying to control the ball and not just pump the ball downfield the way they have since the goal.

 

[El Floppo]

as opposed to that spain game, this has been a tense, interesting affair- not tip-top stuff, but entertaining.

Its a shame it will be the 3rd place game...

 

[CGRdrJoe]

I know he is Russian but that coach looks like the iron sheik

In mother russia, balls kill you.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Russia hasn’t been passing well the whole tourney have they?

 

[Slapdash]

Subasic!

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Not how they teach it at goalkeeping clinics, but OK. 

 

[El Floppo]

omg... coulda gone anywhere- well struck

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

The old chicken wing. 

 

[El Floppo]

Russia hasn’t been passing well the whole tourney have they?

depends- they're not that good. so passing around like spain? never. but they've done well at finding the right guy going forward and hitting good set pieces... so passing well in those cases.

 

[Slapdash]

####### hell

 

[CGRdrJoe]

FYI vodka poured

 

[El Floppo]

subosic! 

those guys were wide open far post...

ooooh... this could be interesting!

 

[otello]

Wow

 

[GroveDiesel]

Ugh. That was a really dumb handball to give them that free kick too.

You can get on a world cup team faster than a Tennessee football transfer.

Croatia won on penalties 4 3 

 

[culdeus]

Do they do added time in extra time?

 

[Ned]

Oof, Mandzukic. 

Might as well been standing at midfield. 

 

[El Floppo]

You can get on a world cup team faster than a Tennessee football transfer.

[El Floppo]

Do they do added time in extra time?
