2-0 Croatia both down the middle

[Who]

Bad penalty from Rodrygo. Exactly where you want it for a keeper. Ideal height and placement. Mid-height and in between middle and corner. Easiest diving save.

Casemiro scores, livakovic went the right way but caesmiro put it just out of reach

[ozgod]

3-1 alisson has guessed wrong every time

[ozgod]

3-2 Pedro scores

[ozgod]

Croatia 4-2

Marquinhos hits the post! Brazil are OUT

[ozgod]

Rodrygo and Marquinhos are the dunces. Brazil probably the better team overall but you only need to win a few moments and Croatia did that

OMG, that was fun to watch.  The tension there.

Wow, well done Croatia. That late goal was a real sucker punch to Brazil. Hard to recover mentally from that.

Croatia played great in midfield and defense. Love Gvardiol. I thought they were pretty poor in the final 3rd though and rode their luck.

Sad to see Brazil go. They were the better side. More of a goal threat. They didn't do enough to take it though.

I felt like they switched off a little after the Neymar goal and they got punished

I thought the commentator I was listening to made a good point about not having someone like Rivaldo. An attacking player with a lethal long range shot. Someone who can break and deep backline. Brazil tried passing through Croatia all night long and did not offer enough variations in their attack. Like Wenger's Arsenal or Spain's tika-taka.

As a neutral it's fun, I'm sure @Amonkey was chewing his fingernails

For sure. I had no dog in the fight but even I was nervous watching those PKs.
