This is ridiculous
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Tough way to lose.

May have been better to be beaten in regular time.

Very weak from Japan. No power in those shots. If you are not 100% sure that you send the goalie the wrong way... shoot with power. Feel bad for them, it's always hard to lose on penalties.

The last one was a good stop to be fair.

Livakovic did fantastic there.

My heart goes out to Japan. Losing on penalties is brutal, seen it too many times.

These may be some of the worst shootouts I’ve seen.

Good lord Japan should've thrown everything forward for a goal, those were some of the worst penalties I've ever seen

I like Japan but nobody deserves to win with that kind of PK performance. Little to no power on the kicks.

yeah it is an unnatural and unfair way to find a winner but if thems are the rules you gotta spend a lot of time practicing them before the big tournaments

is livakovic regular croatia number 1? i remember someone else in previous tournaments but his name escapes me

edit: subasic,i guess he was the guy 4 years ago

In general, this tournament has poor PKs. It's like they don't practice them anymore.

Penalties are such a cheese ball way to decide a match. Will never not hate that.
