Croatia v Denmark round of 16 match thread

[bovril]

Transfers should be allowed in the middle of the World Cup and we should be able to get Kasper in the England squad. 

[TeePee]

Well, he's lived here long enough to be naturalised for England...

[KFS]

Get rested up Kasper and ready for next season. Good to see him not shit tonight. Looked like the title winning keeper we all love. Hope he plays like that this season.

[z-layrex]

Kasper carried them.

[TeamRocket]

Gutted for our boy :'( but on the plus side I guess when we came to play them I wouldn't want to cos of kasper. Best keeper in the world 

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Pleased that Croatia won, pleased that Kasper shone. Win-win!! Croatia to win the whole thing outright!

[The Doctor]

Kasper saving more penalties in quarter of an hour than De Gea made saves in the entire tournament

Actually found that really nerve wracking....for goodness sake lets hope England don't end up in another bloody penalty shootout.

Leicester and England are so shit at them, there’s never any nerves anymore. It’s an automatic loss

Just feel sad for Kasper, the rest of his team were poor, good luck Croatia always play above their weight in tournament's

[Shane]

I love Kasper, so sad to see fans call for his head last season! Form is temporary, class is permanent. He’s right up there for keeper of the tournament.

 

He’ll be back to his best next season.

Leicester??

[walkerleeds]

My God how miserable is Bilic?

[Guest kristianity77]

Is it just me but I thought Croatia were absolute garbage tonight.  I know it's still a lot of ifs and buts but if we were to meet them in the semi finals I'm not sure we'd have too much to fear.

You're not the first to say it. I'm obviously in the minority, I enjoy listening to Bilic. Different strokes I suppose.

[ithuriel]

Bilic and Martin are very dry with their humour

Me too tbf - there's no bullshit, there's no Adrian Durham-esque 'controversial' opinions just for the sake of being contrary and getting attention, he just says what he thinks in a straightforward manner. Would rather have him than some of the grinning goons they've been wheeling out as pundits.

[bovril]

I can see it all now....

 

Croatia do their usual trick of crumbling under pressure against a vociferous Russian crowd.

Suddenly Russia are in the semis and weirdly the cameras aren't allowed in the VAR rooms anymore.

Then, just before the final, Mbappe and Kante come down with a fever after eating at Moscow Zizzi's and Russia walk off with the trophy.

In late August Trump recognises Russian control of Crimea and withdraws all American troops from Europe. Russia annexes Estonia, Moldova and parts of Romania and Brexit is called off, leading to riots in the streets and a cancellation of the Premier League season. Early leaders Leicester are crowned Champions in perpetuity.

IF we reach the semis and face a Croatia team on that form we’ll smash them. Can’t imagine they will be that bad again though.

Lets not get carried away

Sneaked a win against Tunisa and stuffed one of the poorest teams to ever be in the World cup.

 

[MPH]

Got to feel for Kasper. Saved three penalties in that game and STILL on the losing side. No team really deserved to win that game  tbf..

Mate if you’d seen some of my other posts you would know I am taking nothing for granted. We are England, could absolutely get knocked out by Colombia. My point is that a Croatia team on that form would not concern me too much. Getting to that point might prove tough though.
