If France continue to play like they did against Argentina , they will be in the Final.
Will they? Argentina had a very good chance at the very end to equalize it. And Argentina have been diabolic on this world cup.

honestly, I thought we were doomed after that Modric miss and the first thing that crossed my mind was our penalty shootout vs Turkey in 2008. still can't believe we actually did in the end.

It's hilarious, he didn't like them showing his reaction to the pens
To be fair, I wouldn't have liked it either. It's kind of intrusive to be filmed when you're not expecting it, and then having your unwitting reactions broadcast to an entire nation.

I haven’t really dedicated myself to my country on here, but i’m proud of them today. Schmeichel is a hero, and the penalty takers was just too nervous. We got to the point we could expect though, and therefore i’m happy in the end, even if i’m dissapointed as it could have been our day today against better players.

you were great. we were beginning to struggle physically at the end so I thought you were destined to score before that penalty on Rebic. today we were luckier and that's it.

You guys did brilliantly. Another day you'd have gone through.

Russia and Croatia will be knackered going forward.

If England can continue to make progress, the rest we got on match day 3 will be a massive help.

Would need to avoid extra time ourselves, of course. But the fatigue advantage is there for now.

Do the neutrals also think Denmark were the better team?

Damn, that's a tough loss.

Thought we did well, and it will be hard to get over the fact that we missed three out of five penalties when we had a once-in-a-lifetime chance to face Russia in the WC quarters.
