If that extra time is showing what's to come then this is going to penalties. Both sides seemed reluctant to really go for it.

This game needs a spark. For the last 20-25 minutes was a snooze fest.

What's that, 6 of the last 7 knockout ties decided by ET/penalties for Croatia?

Our coach/manager has no balls, keep it safe go extra time :crazy:

. Imho, Japan doesn't look unhappy with extra time either.

Should have subbed him out sooner, he can't play through extra time. Gotta spare him as much as possible.

Japan is so dangerous on the counter.

What a run from Mitoma. That would've been legendary

Players may be gassed and just trying to get to penalties

I hope Japan gets this win. Not sure who has the advantages in penalties.

That Japanese keeper is fearless

No clue how they haven't ditched penalties yet. The worst way to decide a winner.

just love how Japan plays, anime power is real

Would you prefer them adopt the NHL unlimited OT rule?
