Day 18: Russia-Spain, Croatia-Denmark

[Loublaze]

Why does no one cross a ball? We have two strikers now and the Russians are too gassed to even launch a counter.

After that last cross now you know

 

[Slevs]

I love you too.

but... let's not get carried away, it will be Belgium Croatia

Thanks.

I like this Croatia team, also love an underdog story.

 

[kouroux]

Imagine if this had a return leg. Would you watch it ?

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

Would Portugal be able to beat his Russian team? What do you think?

I thought Russia would have been the easier team but not so sure now. Portugal might have attacked more though.

 

[Hansa]

Pleased to see the home crowd having a good time. They pretty much accept that this isn't a great Russian side, enjoying the ride while it lasts.

 

[JPRouve]

How can you pass the ball a 1000 times and not create more than 1 opportunity?

 

[Annihilate Now!]

That was good

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Imagine if this had a return leg. Would you watch it ?

Spain have the away goal. Job done.

 

[Dobba]

Something happened!

 

[BusbyMalone]

No

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Uffff again!

 

[FireballXL5]

Have Spain woken up at last?

 

[Peyroteo]

Spain don't need both Busquets and Koke on the pitch. They need to understand that losing the ball isn't the end of the world.

 

[Jazz]

Good from Rodrigo there

 

[Jippy]

Bit of goalmouth action there.

 

[Skills]

Spain will lose on pens

 

[Rajma]

Over 1k passes for spain now with 90% accuracy.

 

[Ishdalar]

Rodrigo Nazario!

 

[Konimey]

Russia to win this if it goes to pens. DDG secks hard at pens.

 

[El Zoido]

Spain will lose on pens

Dave will save two and they’ll win.

 

[FootballHQ]

I'm not sure if i want Russia to go through now, really. They're gonna play the exact same way in the next game

Mad if Denmark upset Croatia.

Would be England/Colombia v Swiss/Sweden v Russia/Denmark.

One of those would be playing in the World cup final.

 

[carvajal]

De Gea will be the hero in the penalties

 

[kouroux]

How come Aspaz plays ahead of Rodriguo ?

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

Spain will lose on pens

Nah our boy will save the day.

 

[Ødegaard]

No wonder Rodrigo doesn't start for Spain. Wanting to create something must be a sin.

 

[championo]

since yesterday, I have seen an inordinate amount of slipping. What is going on? Wrong boots? Pitches too slick?

 

[VorZakone]

Iago Aspas will miss his penalty.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Over 1k passes for spain now with 90% accuracy.

It is all safe passing, it should be accurate. They rarely take a risk.

 

[Bepi]

Spain will lose on pens

the feck is they will win anyway and all the bore endured will be worth nothing to neutrals

 

[Gross Domestic Peasant]

I am entering a catatonic state, and I think I'm fine with it.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Bricking time for me! It has officially started!
Need a beer to calm down.
Come on Croatia!!!

oh, sorry, these 2 are still playing?

 

[Acole9]

That free kick .

 

[Jazz]

God almighty that free kick

 

[Robbie Boy]

I have fallen in love with many Russian women so I am for Russia too

Naughty

 

[Loublaze]

Spain will lose on pens

They need to do an LVG and sub DDG, if they have subs left!

 

[kouroux]

Spain have the away goal. Job done.

So even more passing

 

[Ishdalar]

De Gea should release his manbun if he wants to stop a penalty

 

[DomesticTadpole]

So even more passing

Yep.

 

[Carolina Red]

Clueless "experts". With a bit of xenophobia thrown in.

Well, these are supposedly ‘must-win’ games according to the American announcers yesterday.

She was British

 

[FootballHQ]

Spain starting to play more effecively between the lines now. Still time for them to nick this one.
