Wow, can't believe Croatia beat Brazil!!

I was streaming it at work, Brazil went up 1-0 in extra time, then I had to go to lunch. I figured Brazil had it, but I was wrong! Gotta rewatch the end of that when I get home. What a game and what a Cup this has been so far! Lots of upsets and comebacks!

Maybe don’t put Neymar in the fifth PK spot?

Yep your best player has to take the 1st PK in my opinion. Or at least your best PK taker needs to be 1st. I assumed Neymar was their best but maybe he's not?

Argentina coach didn’t make the same mistake - Messi took the first PK.

consider himself lucky. Brazilian's lose their marbles over soccer and I would not be surprised if the coach and some players aren't seriously threatened with bodily harm upon returning to Brazil.

I moved to Brasil when I was 8 and lived their for 7 years, and lived and are “futebol” .. I later played soccer for Coach Ib. While the Brasilians are fanatic about the game, they keep it in perspective.
Of course, you may have some fringe elements doing crazy things, but for the most part, the fans accept the results.
I was surprised that Brasil crashed out, but Croatia was hard to break down. After the goal in OT, I think the team thought it was going to win and didn’t do the things they needed to do to see out the game.
The even worse part of the day was when Argentina won… ?

Had figured they would have ended up winning the Cup. I’m not sure who will end up with it at this point.

That one hurt! Had the game won and collapsed in PK’s! Best Brazil squad in 20 years all for nought. Wild finish by Argentina

They muck up the game and then win in PKs. Its the same formula they used 4 years ago to make the final. Their midfield is good enough to make it work. Modric is still world class.
BTW, England - France should be a banger tomorrow. France should be the favorite to win it all now that Brazil is out, but England isn't far behind them.
