That looked close from Perisic. Thought that was going to hit the back of the net.
Day 16: Japan vs Croatia | Brazil vs South Korea (Last 16 5&6)

Yoshida with another brainfart under pressure. It is why Perisic had that chance.
What a mistake from Yoshida that was
Fantastic tackle/block.
He was better before his injury, far better IMO.
Austria Bundesliga though, right?
What a tackle that is.
This is a really good game.
This is a really good game.
That was a yellow card, ref.
Surely a booking?
Bloody shoot
WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE THE SHOT?!
Why is he passing and not shooting there?
Just turn and shoot you dummy.
That pass was Giggs to Owen-like in the derby win. Except this wasnt taken.
Modric with a soft fall? Never!!
Next goal wins
Why would you square that?
M Bison should've gone for the goal.
Japan have such a cool style of football.
People talk about lack of quality at WC, I think this has been pretty good quality stuff on show here to be honest.
this 541 Japan play is really damn good defensively....amazing the space these guys can cover
japan should be winning this but can still only see them going out
Enjoying this game because there hasn’t been a lot of stops and play acting. Free flowing game
Thanks Michael.
He said Minamino's time in Germany.
Croatia winning even the fouls that they're commiting.
Gvardiol is sensational. Has shut down all of Japans attacks this half by himself.
Yeah ref is weird
I already said it: Ismail Elfath is a rubbish referee. I know 'cause I have seen that shite from him in the MLS.
Ref 
The state of perisic
From what I've seen referee is giving Croatia everything.
Ref is a cnut, how's that a foul?
Yeah he is ruining this game right now
that is a foul if you saw the replay...you can't jump thru the back of a guy
About fecking time someone gets a yellow card. Still, that ref does not deserve the right to officiate a knockout match after today.
Ref is shite, that is not a yellow card. WT
There's a distinct difference between how organised Croatia's defence is and the panic stations on display from Spain and Germany
Every time Japan get some momentum a random Croatian player flops around and ref whistles. He should never officiate on an international level again.
It was assault
