Croatia has not run out of gas. France just has more talented players.
Croatia players are still going at the pace they have played with the entire WC.

Now that was poor goalkeeping


Lloris says hold my beer

Maybe not.

And some of y'all don't realize how little a keeper can do when caught flat footed and/or leaning the wrong way.


Once is not a problem but the dude is always getting caught flat footed or going the wrong way or can't see the ball

He's been nails in several shootouts and vs England.

Third goal he was leaning the wrong way, fourth was poorly played but both he and the defender thought Mbappe was going to the other corner.

Can we talk about Croatia's conditioning? They've played back to back to back extra time games (a full additional match) and are going 90mph 75 minutes into this game.

Modric needs more of the ball in the attacking third if Croatia wants a real chance of a comeback

It looked like they were done after goal #4. Then a gift of a goal renewed their energy. Make it 4-3 and it might be completely bonkers.

Not sure which is worse: today's keeping or today's officiating.

Relative to the ranking coming in...

these 4 should be dropping - although not a lot in some cases.

W-D-L

1. Germany a lot 1-0-2
2. Brazil only a little 3-1-1
3. Portugal was 1-2-1
4. Argentina was 1-1-2

these 4 should be rising

5. Belgium 6-0-1 3rd place might be 2nd best team, beat Brazil and England twice
7. France 6-1-0 if this score holds beat Denmark, Argentina, Uruguay, Belgium and Croatia
12. England 4-0-3 losses to Croatia and Belgium, beat Columbia
18. Croatia 6-0-1 if this score holds only loss to France, beat Russia, Denmark, England and Argentina

Another small issue is that we don't have talent remotely close to Croatia

I bet Croatia development program does not include $300 uniforms with matching bags.

I think we would've gone through if Klinnsman wasn't fired.

Yep and if doesn't qualify it's on him

Arena came in and was the worst possible coach
