Extra time. Interesting. Could see Japan nicking it but Croatia looked a lot more comfortable in that half

Japan the better team in the first half, Croatia slightly better in the second. Extra time seems fair.

Japan starting to look a little gassed towards the end of the game.

He'd be suspended for the QF. Wonder if that came into the ref's mind at all.
If a referee starts thinking like that, then he is not apt for the job.

The referee in 1990 had no sympathy for Paul Gascoigne when he booked Gazza and thus deprived him of the next match.

And damn, if we go to penalties no way thst we will win. We have zero players in a team who shoot pens for their club. Maybe Modric but his pens are not thst good.

It feels every Croatian game in the knockouts goes into ET

I get that he's super old but I don't like taking off Modric, or Kovacic for that matter

To think that at one point we were linked to Modric. Oh what could have been.

I have too many suppressed memories regarding football/United. All I feel is pain :(
