That was a classic. 18-1 shot Mr. What won by thirty lengths.Originally Posted by Psychotic
Spain had 120 minutes to win that game. I too hope this spells the end for Tiki Taka. Their sad devotion to that ancient religion didn’t help them conjure up a winning goal.
Croatia and Denmark has been pretty even. I feel like Croatia have been far, far less fluid in their attacks in this game. Good tactics by the Danes? Fatigue? Who knows.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
How Denmark still have ten men on the pitch is beyond me. It shouldn't have even been a regular penalty, he was taken out with an open goal to tap into and Croatia should have had a penalty without a goalkeeper to shoot against. It's akin to "may as well hamdball any goal that's about to go in so it's a penalty instead of a goal." It makes me realise why rugby has penalty tries.
EDIT: No idea why I'm so annoyed but I really am! xD
EDITRA: Justice!

Wow, what absolute drama at the end! Two polar opposite shootouts too. De Gea had nothing on Schmeichel and Subasic.
Good points, but it wasn't the goalie that conceded the penalty.
Some shockingly bad penalties in that shootout.

Was that the most amount of kick saves in a non-hockey game? Wow.
Either Russia or Croatia in the semi-finals! Croatia looked very tight at times but sometimes you just have to find a way to win, looks be damned.
Take care all.
I didn't mean the goalkeeper should be sent off, but that if a player is taken down with nobody at all between him and goal then they should get a free shot at goal, rather than a defended penalty. The goalkeeper can re enter play after the goal is inevitably scored. The player who gives the foul should be sent off.Good points, but it wasn't the goalie that conceded the penalty.

Hey, kick saves happen constantly in indoor soccer.
I don't often care that much about diving but the rolling around by Neymar had me fooled and I thought something had legit happened, then I saw what actually happened and was so annoyed. At first it was because the BBC only showed an angle where it looked like the Mexican guy just picked up the ball and that was it, but then I saw a thing on YouTube showing the Mexican guy had literally planted his foot, studs and all, on top of the ankle of Neymar while picking up the ball which is absolutely bad news, but the way Neymar reacted made me disgusted with him regardless.

Gutted for Japan.
I don't care how much of a prat Neymar is, I hope Brazil crush Belgium in the quarter-final now!

Belgium and Japan just played the most dignified game of football I may have ever seen in my life and it was awesome to watch. Both teams played excellently and there was no anger between players outside of maybe one brief moment of fuming by a Japanese player at the corner of the pitch and that's it. After the previous game with Neymar being generally pathetic throughout, it was a delight to watch.

I think it's a bit cheeky of Shearer and Klinsmann to criticise Neymar for his antics when they were both happy to cheat when they played! Klinsmann at least had the honesty to look embarrassed when asked about it.
