    Thought Modric had to go middle and never felt Rakitic was never missing.

    BTW that striker Jorgensen is the spit of Eidur Gudjohnson

    Slaven is nuts (in an entertaining way).

    He’s in the huff now cos they showed his reactions to the pen shoot-out.

    Bilic is one miserable *, his team win and he still acts like he's suicidal, i think it's because they showed his bald patches when he celebrated the goals and they showed it back and he got all grumpy.

    Croatia's first penalty shootout victory in a big competition. Modrić should not have played against Iceland. Tiredness set in him faster than in Rakitić. Props to Hareide for playing Knudsen. That guy's a spear thrower. But Croatia showed mental fortitude tonight.
    In 6 days, the Battle of the Slavs will be fought.

    Bilic said he thought more of them should have played v Iceland and the problem was too many players hadn't played for 9 days.

    Disappointing performance from Croatia tonight. Hopefully they'll have more juice in their legs against Russia. I'm not sure they can win the tournament with that defence but they sure have a good chance of reaching the final.

    That's the thing though once you reach the final anything can happen, Portugal proved that if you keep it tight and take your chance you can beat the big boys in a one off game. I wouldn't back this Croatia side against Brazil, France or even Belgium normally but if they get to the final against one of them they've got a real chance. Mandzukic is a handful, Modric can create something, Perisic is tricky and they're a tough side in general.

    You'd expect them to beat Russia that's for sure. I'd fancy them against any of the other 4 teams against that side of the draw too. It'd be absolutely amazing if they did. It'd give so much hope to all the smaller nations around the globe. I mean it's not like it's an underdog side who're getting by purely on being a tight unit and being tough to beat, this is a nation that's producing quality players playing for some of the top sides in Europe. It could serve as a message to the FAI and the SFA if they get their act together when it comes to youth football and the grassroots then they can produce special talents too.

    Just laughing at the chances of Sviatchenko being called up.

    A lot of poor decision-making in attack happened, such as overdribbling. Is that mental effects of fatigue, or...?
