1/8 Final: CROATIA *1 - 1 DENMARK

[acm55]

Only one keeper has saved 3 penalties in a shoot-out before Danijel Subasic

It happened exactly on this day in 2006 - approximately 12 years & 3 hours ago, when Ricardo helped Portugal knock out England.

With Schmeichel also saving 3 today, 1 July is clearly a day for keepers!

I don’t know what were wrong with them tonight but they seemed pretty beatable.

Tbh even most teams who win have one such game along the way

This should give them confidence.. that they can win even after being bad. Plus a reality check after that argentina game

I know u wanted danes to go tbru but tbf i am happy croatia is thru.. need them to stop England in case they get thru

I am not even sure they can get past russia.. how they gonna create chances against a team that will literally park a bus if they even couldn’t create against denmark. A danish team that were outplayed by both peru and australia?..

As for england, let us see how they perform against a decent team in columbia.

Each game is for itself. Thats football. Denmark played well, we played with too much psichological pressure after turkey 2008 and portugal 2 years back.

This time we were shit but won.

Now lets go 1 by1...

This is an irrelevant stat. England take the lowest tier penalties anybody could imagine.
