Ito .... runs a half marathon every game.

 

[el_dazza]

So annoying, 20 secs left and they fanny around with it from the free kick rather than pinging it in there.

 

[explicit4u]

Remember, the Croatians dont tire...

 

[Mr Jack]

This feels like it has penalties written all over it. But hopefully Japan can pull something out of the bag before that.

 

[Psycho Ned]

If he'd planted that one in the top corner that would have been one of the great World Cup goals considering the situation!

 

[scarps]

Croatia have taken off all their experienced players which would have been their pen takers. Yes they are the oldest and may have been cooked but big risk this

 

[el_dazza]

Looking like our first shoot out is coming!

 

[booyaka]

You just know Croatia will squeeze through on penalties - Terrible team, boring to watch, but will just have enough to beat Japan here.

 

[Cosimo]

Come on Japan!

 

[Mr Jack]

Penalties it is. Come on, Japan!

Yep, they always seem to go to ET/pens in major tournaments.

Yep, they always seem to go to ET/pens in major tournaments.

It's something mad like 7/8 of their last knockout games have gone to ET.

 

[The_One]

subbing all your pen takers, good move croatia

 

[el_dazza]

What an awful penalty.

 

[UTmaniac]

Nooooo Japan.

 

[robfosters]

Awful

 

[Kelt]

Oh dear

 

[explicit4u]

uh oh

 

[robfosters]

Bottling it bad

 

[el_dazza]

Another save!
