World Cup Match Thread: Croatia vs Denmark

[Athens]

If he misses this it was worth it.

 

[Mojo]

For fucks sake.
Save it Schmeichel

 

[Fabio]

Unbelievable

 

[FoxForceFive]

Yesss!

 

[Mojo]

Yessssssss

 

[FoxForceFive]

Hahahaha.

 

[Markeh]

Dad's delighted

 

[Fabio]

Awful pen

 

[Athens]

Modric was shitting himself there.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Modric didn't look confident at all taking that.

 

[Fabio]

Denmark are winning this now

 

[Rosco]

Superb from Kasper

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Situations like that they should give the goal without the need for a pen

 

[Fabio]

Modric didn't look confident at all taking that.

Think it's the chemo and aids treatments he takes

 

[doctor_mac]

Awful pen

Twas.

 

[Mystic]

That was 100% FIFA that.

Agree

Hard work was done, why should the defence be able to do that

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Why is that not a red? It's a guaranteed goal, and instead of 11v10, it's a 50/50 attempt (which is saved) & Denmark have 11 men on the pitch.
That should be red.

 

[JurgenKlopp]

Yes kasper

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

That should be red.

Double jeopardy rule. Can’t have both unless it’s dangerous play

Modric didn't look confident at all taking that.

The thing that really impressed me about Kane when opponents were trying to put him off before his penalties last week - he went through his routine, stood up, and if he couldn't take the pen exactly then, he'd go through the whole routine again, and again, until he could. Perfect way to combat any distraction. Modric looked a bit spooked.

He's made genuine attempt to play ball. Only red if deliberate foul. Which that could have been considered it was considering it was a open goal

 

[Markeh]

Nah no penalty goals in those situations but the player should be fully aware they are going off for it and missing the next game. It's the price they pay and the gamble they take.

Yellow in that situation is nonsense.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Penalties! Yesss.

Come on the Danes.

 

[Rosco]

You have to think Denmark have the advantage now

 

[Athens]

Penalties, I don't believe it. Croatia to miss all theirs.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I want Croatia to win now

 

[Rosco]

I want Denmark to go through, cos I too think Croatia have been the better side.

Same reason I want Brazil to get beat tomorrow.

I want the same.

for a different reason

 

[gene hughes]

Yea. It’s totally worth it for a yellow in that situation.

 

[Rosco]

will Modric miss another ?
