Oh my. Now this is intriguing.

[HVC]

This net is cursed.

Will the Croats score the third by shooting down in the middle again? 

[HVC]

Stupid penalties.

[Duque de Bragança]

Well no, but Modric scored anyways.

[Valmy]

Damn. Missed the net. How humiliating.

Enjoy your flight home Brazil.

[Duque de Bragança]

Hopefully for Brazil, they trained for penalties more than Japan or Spain.

A bit more, but not enough.

Quite the upset!

Croatia are the new Germany lol

Can't believe that Croatian goalie plays locally in Zagreb...he's got to be picked up by top tier teams.

Also friend of mine bet $20 on Croatia and Holland winning today, he will get $650 if Holland pull through now.

The goalie was superb.

Croatia are kind of amazing really.

He repelled endless futile Brazilian attacks like Svetozar Boroević once defended the Isonzo.

Except maybe on the goal he suffered, but otherwise kept his team alive during the whole game in general and proved decisive, again, during the penalties.

A Spanish expert I've been following for the WC kept repeating during the whole tournament that he couldn't believe how that guy was still playing in Croatia at his age. He's a clear candidate for a big signing either in this winter transfer market or during next summer.
