Strinic is an absolute idiot. Decides to do some sort of slow dribble with 3 players converging on him. Ridiculous.

Pjaca was fantastic when he came on and created at least 3 situations of danger in that second half of extra time. Why on earth did Brozovic start over him? Sure you can make the argument that Pjaca was against tired defenders, but even if you don't start him, give him at least the entire extra time to cause problems.

Croatia would and should be kicking themselves loosing to this ordinary Portugal side, as they really would have had a great chance to get to the final.

Absolute monster in the middle of the park

Portugal is in safe hands for the next decade

Don't know what to say about Croatia. This was an easy game for them and they blew it. Fodder mentality

so incredibly disappointed. croatia were 10x better in the group stage. even iceland didn't lose to that portugal team. 2 chances created in 2 hours, terrible. mandzukic biggest flop of the tournament

portugal still 11 individuals, will get beat by poland.

terrible match in an awful tournament so far

Completely deserved win.

Croatia is the most overrated team in the tournament. Modric and Rakitic performances today should get them to play for Milan.

this game was just as bad as wales northern ireland, I'll even say worse since it was 30 minutes longer.

One of the shittiest games I've ever seen. On par with the worst of Pippo's Milan.

Ivan Rakitic: "The better team is going home. Portugal beat us by doing nothing, no one knew if they were on the pitch"

No wonder he was chosen to replace Xavi.

croatia didn't put perresure early one despite clearly being the better team, why in the hell they would start at 2nd half of ET? Ass coaching.

william carvalho was motm, followed by pepe

:fp::lol::lol::lol:

What did Croatia really do in attack? They did nothing. Their 2 most clear chances were 2 Vida's headers that should have gone in but he missed them.

Pjaca? Kid is good. He made a nice run that could have turn into something if he would have made the right pass.

considering croatia were overwhelming favourites for the game its a bit ridiculous to say the were "better" because they had 2 shots vs portugals 1.

Croatia could and should have done better. You could see that they were the dominant team, but last third of the pitch was a problem.

Congrats to Portugal. Would be cool if Ronaldo could win a big tournament with the NT.

Btw, I don't like Ronaldo as a striker. He should play on the wing.

He gets too isolated in the middle imo. Rarely gets to use his speed wich is his biggest strenght.

Lol.

Was in the other room, but I thought Croatia had scored from the commentary I heard.

Croatia were not good enough against a very poor Portugal side.

Also, it's not like Croatia have a stellar attack.

Perisic is a decent winger, Mandzukic is a decent striker and Kalinic is an alright forward. None are going to win you games singlehandedly.
