Croatia v Brazil

[Bosscat]

Oh Dear Oh Dear Oh Dear Brazil ....

[Burnley Ace]

They aren’t dancing now!!

[RVclaret]

Antony and Neymar tears. Beautiful.

[Spijed]

Too much is made of teams trying to entertain. Means bugger all if teams like Brazil can't win when it matters.

[Aclaret]

Well who'd a thowt it.

[Burnley Ace]

UTC legend Orsic on the pitch now

Best penalty of the night!!

[ElectroClaret]

Brilliant.
Well done Croatia. Brazil a bit sure of themselves this WC.

So nuts to em.

[conyoviejo]

Absolute magic from Neymar

Not enough magic though.

[Burnley1989]

Your best player, and striker, takes the first penalty!
Typical Neymar, wants to be the hero, glad they’re out to be honest

[Burnley1989]

“You’re not dancing anymoreeeee,
You’re not dancing anymoreeee”

[NottsClaret]

Modric must be about 50 now, it feels like 20 years since he scored that goal on the Turf. What a player though, absolute class even now.

[jrgbfc]

Unfortunately it means Fred, Casemiro and Antony will probably be available to play against us now!

[KRBFC]

Not enough magic though.

Aye poor from Brazil all night long.

[RVclaret]

Modric must be about 50 now, it feels like 20 years since he scored that goal on the Turf. What a player though, absolute class even now.

He’s still performing at such a high level at 37. Incredible player. I find it mental he went to Madrid aged 27.

[superdimitri]

Unfortunately it means Fred, Casemiro and Antony will probably be available to play against us now!

It's okay, they will still be crying.

[Aclaret]

Croatia a population of 3.9 million...you can fit the population into Elland Road !

[wilks_bfc]

Nobody will fancy playing Croatia and whoever it is needs to get the job done in 90mins

[ClaretLoup]

Croatia goalie Livakovic was outstanding and not just in the shoot out.

[Croydon Claret]

Would rather face Brazil than Croatia but still glad to see the cry babies knocked out

[Zlatan]

Would rather face Brazil than Croatia but still glad to see the cry babies knocked out

I disagree. I think we’d batter Croatia but would struggle against the South American teams

[NewClaret]

UTC legend Orsic on the pitch now

Assist and best pen of the night. Really wish we’d signed him!

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Nobody in this generation or the last is on the level of Messi and Ronaldo though. Neymar is the tier below with every other world class player of the last 20 years bar the special 2.

No he isn't, he's an overrated show pony without the desire to be the best.
Mbappe has already over taken him and others are starting to do the same.

[expoultryboy]

I said that last time Zlatan and then Southgate picked Kane before Vardy .

[tiger76]

Well done Croatia they never stopped believing and duly got their reward.

2 successive World Cup semi finals now, and it would be a brave person to rule them out of going all the way.

Yes they lack a striker as I stated earlier, however their sheer tenacity and organisation keeps them in matches, and clearly extra time and penalties don't phase them whatsoever.

[Casper]

You’re only as good as the opposition according to Klinsman

[MT03ALG]

Croatia a population of 3.9 million...you can fit the population into Elland Road !

Brazil 214 million !!

[aclaretinstevenage]

Your best player, and striker, takes the first penalty!
Typical Neymar, wants to be the hero, glad they’re out to be honest

Absolutely right !

[Bordeauxclaret]

I can’t really understand why they didn’t change him to the 4th one.
