Also that foul on Rebić was Suarez-hand-save-like. Maybe refs have such guidelines to give only a yellow, but guy had an open net in front ffs.

It was tricky. The Danish player was going for the ball and perhaps that's what saved him. But he did prevent a 100% goal and imo it should have been a red card. It's good that the Dane didn't shoot and score in the penalty shoot-out, because it would have created drama in an otherwise fair and well officiated WC.

...The Danish player was going for the ball and perhaps that's what saved him...

yes, that was the typical case for the new "no red + penalty" rule.

What a drama

Can't imagine how the danes and croats felt in those minutes

The two most powerful men in the world will face each other in the quarters.
Putin vs Manbro
@Joker I died 3 times. Since I died 5 more times with Juve in the last ~20 years, I'm probably a cat and the next one will be fatal.

Not gonna lie, watching Peter’s reactions after Kasper saved those penalties made me happy inside.

Btw, for the younger folks here, those two middle aged guys they kept showing tonight were Peter Schmeichel (as you probably know) and Davor Suker, the all time top scorer of the Croatian NT.

It reminded me of a wonderful match and an epic duel between those two in 1996, filled with mutual respect.
Worth watching their duel (from 8:30 to 9:50)

Euro 96. Great tournament Very high quality football.

But according to Dante and others on here, I shouldn’t like it because the team I was hoping would win it (Italy) crashed out in the first round.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

Before tonight Subašić had saved 17/50 penalties. No bad.

I thought you were English? If not. What the fuck are you?

can't stand england as a national side, their arrogance is embarrassing. Seriously they can fuck off with the whole football is coming home shit, rehashing something that first came out in 1996 and not happened in 1966. Every fucking day social media in the UK bragging about how england are gonna win the world cup, mocking other nations who have been more successful like Argentina, Germany and today Spain... seriously hope they fall flat on their face

So. You are then.

I'm glad you spend your time at the keyboard rather than being out and about at the Pubs during game time. What a killjoy you must be.

If (and it's admittedly a very big if) England win this, life is really going to suck for you.

I guess you're surrounded by arrogant fans and that usually makes people hate some club or NT, but this English team is the least dislikable of all English teams I watched in my life. A bunch of young guys everyone expected to go home early. I like underdogs, so I have nothing against them, unlike those overrated English teams and arrogant English fans expecting their overrated team to win the WC or the Euro.

The only time I watch a match at a pub is when Juventus are playing.

Dont worry about me, life will just suck for you when england go out

LOL. Good try. Not winning the World Cup is a normal state of affairs and totally expected. Life will be quite the same.

P.S. I'm not worried about you. I couldn't care less about your wellbeing, quite honestly.

least dislikeable team or not its the majority of fans who support them that will always make them dislikeable, as anti epl fans its in our best interest to see the national team do as badly as possible, it makes a mockery of the league we all love to hate.

Frankly it doesn't even bother me who wins this world cup just as long as it's not england, and I'll cheer on any player from Juventus in the meantime

Funny thing is when it comes to other team sports likes rugby or hockey I don't dislike them as much
