Ohhhh KyKy that is superb

My goodness, what a shot. It didn't even look like he hit it that hard either, but it had plenty of power.

That one might have been better.

Kind of a shame this is a quarter-final match, a very good team won't even make it to the semi-finals...

If this trend continues all 4 QF matchups are going to be heavyweight tilts.

Japan leads 1-nil at halftime. I like it

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

What a header.

How come I never saw those type of crosses from Lovren when he played for Saints? Fantastic header by Perisic as well.

Heck of a save by the Japanese keeper on that Modric strike.

Modric just subbed off in extra time.

Modric just subbed off in extra time.

Which is fine. He's 37. Expecting him to carry on for 120' is crazy and asking to lose.

We're going to penalties to decide who advances.

Terrible start for Japan in the penalty shoot-out.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Guy's 2 meters off the line come on.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

WTF was that lol

 

[dash]

Japan has a lifeline (they score and Croatia misses),

 

[dash]

Yeah, he's diving forward (Croatian keeper). What is the official doing there?

 

[dash]

Croatia advances.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Damn, a Japan-SK quarterfinal was probably unlikely but probably would've been fun.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Select club.
