FT: RUSSIA 2 - 2 CROATIA. Croatia win on penalties

[The Bob Banker Spanker]

The same way Russia have reached the quarter finals

Illegal substances?

If they go with a 3 in midfield rather than the 4-2-4 they went with here I can see Croatia dominating the middle with ease and beating England, that's the dream anyway

Croatia are the kind of team a lot of people forget about

Modric has given the ball away tonight more than in his entire Real Madrid and Tottenham stints combined.

England only play with Henderson in a holding midfield role, Alli & Lingard are more advanced. Modric would murder them

[thehumblegringo]

Lovren is fecking crap

I don't think we're gonna find out

[City123]

I don't think we're gonna find out

Probably not. Absolutely gutted that they'll reach the final by beating Tunisia, Panama, Colombia, Sweden & Russia, fair play they've been decent but talk about a lucky draw!

[City123]

HE'S DONE A KERMOGANT

[Michael Morris]

After 1st penalty Russia 0 - 1 Croatia

[MacAdder]

1st Russian pelanty as bad as kermogant's!

[Michael Morris]

After 2nd penalty Russia 1 - 1 Croatia

[Michael Morris]

After 3rd penalty Russia 1 - 2 Croatia

[City123]

The Russian crowd were properly up for it, Akinfeev saves, and then Fernandes deflates the entire crowd by dragging it wide

Modric you lucky barsteward!

[Michael Morris]

After 4th penalty Russia 2 - 3 Croatia

[Michael Morris]

Croatia win on penalties.

[MacAdder]

Phew!

Fresh for Wednesday

[The Bob Banker Spanker]

Phew, Croatia Vs France final then

[jamieccfc]

Wtf was he doing with that first penalty, I'm a bit concerned about Croatia's defending of set plays

[thehumblegringo]

We've got two proper semi finals now anyway

[City123]

Good win lads, now ask those Russians if they have any needles going spare

[CardiffIrish2]

Either Croatia will sneak it Wednesday as they’ve had some great luck or England will smash them.

France V England final I’m calling .....

Really? They're comfortably the best team England will have faced in the knockouts

[The Bob Banker Spanker]

I'm not sure where the Croatia who battered Argentina have gone but hopefully they turn up Wednesday
