A fan pulled randomly from the stands could have finished that. The proverbial silver platter

Interesting that Croatia went three one for one subs in their three windows. Thought they'd go for more fresh legs to try to do the unexpected

There are no offensive subs available anymore, no one else can come in to make us more offensive minded.

What De Paul lacks in playmaking he makes up for in being an absolute monster on defense. I've criticized him a lot but he's been stellar on the defensive end. So has Fernandez.

If the idiots brought Tevez in 2014 we'd have won.

He is young it will do him good to be humiliated a bit after all the praise he was getting.

Someone check to see if Ray Hudson's still alive after witnessing that Messi assist.

He's only 20 years old and a big part of Croatia's run.

Kid has a bright future ahead of him.

He'll remember this game forever, but he'll learn from it.

Absolutely embarrassing performance by Croatia. Even worse look for Brazil for not being able to beat this team

5 goals, 3 assists in 6 matches for Messi. One more win and his trophy case is air tight.

Well if it ends up 3-0 or bigger margin, that penalty controversy is moot.

That should have been 4-0 right there.
