Unlucky but Croatia played much better during extra time. They were ALSO very fortunate that the ref passed on giving England several decisions against them. "Good game"
I hope Croatia win the World Cup. It will be good to see a smaller nation win it and change the perception of the world and not just world football in one way or another.
They didnt deserve it....3 extra time games and iirc all come from behinds....give me a break.
Im an underdog guy....and these guys are playing their hearts out.
Not like the country can afford to pay for a championship
Semi final of 1998 replay, that time France won, but will it happen again? France will come as heavy favourites with a key advantage because this croatian team will be quite tired from playing 3 extra times whilst france played none.
I do not see a base for the complaints of the referee, there were no real controversies and both sides had decisions not go their way.
only fans of either team would be angry with the ref, a neutral would not see it being influential in the final result.
Nah, Dele got spikes to the back of his leg, no call. Maguire got an elbow to the back, no call. Balls going off of Croatian players yet they're still given the GK.
Not that I think England played well enough to win, but this wasn't anywhere close to being evenly called IMO.
Just came back from work and saw that Croatia won...Damn... Would you believe me if I tell you that my dad told me it would end up this way 3 weeks ago ?
Now he said France gonna lose
Well let's hope it's the only prediction he'll get wrong

Only because it was late in the match it matters....?
Same for Eng early on....5mins in and a free kick from in the box or damn near close.
No one talking about how they got plenty calls and a lot of missed opportunities to be worried about the extra time.
Local pub exploded, centre of town is on fire, whole town losing their shit, lost my voice again and im still partying and screaming
no words, no words for the hard work and effort of the #CROTEAM.
Now we need REVENGE for 1998 and win the damn thing. Lets go homeboyz take the WC
Rebic is inhuman
Ah yes, nothing sweeter than salt from a "major" power who vastly underestimated the so called "small fry". Thats how CRO rolls. Sure England was better first half, but even then the best they had was the free kick, and Kane through ball that was called offside, but cmon, after the first half, we dominated the whole game + ET,
Cro deserved the win cuz they were better, they worked harder, they ran for their lives even after playing two straight 120 minute games and still dominated in stamina by the end. What are we talking about. How did England deserve to pass this, im still thinking about it, but nothing comes to mind, sorry but its true. Perisic should have sent England back home earlier but fate didnt allow it ... again.

On the other side I see lots of petentional in this young England team, they will probably have some good tournamnets on their hands from now on. I wish England honest good luck against Belgium.

Where did I say that? I think most of what I mentioned happened in the second half, but not that late, especially considering it went 120'.
Where did they get plenty of calls? So the Free Kick wasn't warranted?
Of course there were missed opportunities, I said they didn't deserve to win. However, several of those opportunities never happened because of shit calls, so who knows.
