Croatia - Russia in a very open entertaining and clean game. Croatia just ties it up in the 39' on a beautiful  controlled pass on to the head of the striker 1-1

Update: Croatia takes a 2-1 lead in the 100' of first OT. Only fair. Croatia was by far the better team. Got to admit, I was hoping for penalty kicks for my selfish entertainment. :rolleyes:

Update 2: Russia ties it in the 115' at 2-2 . OMG.

Whichever team comes through, I imagine England will have a decided advantage since the other team will be much more physically and emotionally spent.

Update 3: Penalty kicks  coming. :D:D:D:D

Last minutes, players were running on fumes. The exhaustion of both teams should end the stupidity  that you can get rid of penalty kicks. to decide games.

Fun fact. The Croatian goalkeeper had a hamstring issue during the game. Seems ok now but can never be sure.

Penalty Score    (4-3 Croatia)

Russia   N   Y   N   Y    Y

Croatia  Y   N   Y    Y    Y

Russia loses but deserves a lot of credit.
