Hope: they start a riot in the picth and go ninja warrior on each other and the fifa suspends them both and banishes them from the competition:
Think: Russia, refs are not going to let happen otherwise as proven by the DOUBLE penalti on ramos and pique that they refused to call even with var images.

Its Brasil vs Russia for the final.

Russia is a shame to football. Croatia should put an end to this joke.

Want to see Croatia but they HAVE TO PLAY much better than they did vs Denmark.

I don't remember the scene exactly...but wasn't Ramos dragging other guys jersey, too? I might be thinking about the wrong scene here but thought it was far from a clear penalty...could've very well been offensive foul, too

Mandzukic will get things done...

Ok Croatia, please win today.

Croatia should’ve had a penalty. Lovren was pulled down on that free kick.

Holy ****, that was fantastic.

that was amazing shot.

Will Russia reverse into 10 man defence team like they did vs Spain in the second half and overtime?

Lord Eder · Post #16 » by **Lord Eder** » Sat Jul 7, 2018 6:41 pm

Well played from Mandzukic, nice little low cross, took his time drew in a couple defenders

great response Croatia.

That was some terrible defense by Russia.

AK47MVP · Post #19 » by **AK47MVP** » Sat Jul 7, 2018 6:43 pm

Russia had 4 defenders within 2-3 feet of Kramaric and yet failed to mark him properly. Cercesov is going bonkers on sideline.

Terrible communication. Two defenders sunk into Mandzukic and the other two floated off to whoever was coming in from the edge of the box, Rebic?. Really shouldn’t have been that easy with numbers but give Croatia credit for executing.
