Feel for them, don't like Russia's politics but i used to like their team and fans during this WC.

Sad moment. They did very well. They can be proud.

Croatia are disappointing after some nice group stage games. England have a great chance.

Kudos for Russia. Historic World Cup and insane work rate that left them completely knackered in pens. England-Croatia is a better game than England-Russia though.

Fair play*, Russia. From lowest ranked in the tournament to a penalty shootout away from a WC semifinal.

*Probably not fair play actually, as you were likely doped to the gills.
