Croatia 10 minutes away after scoring on a seeing-eye header.
....and Russia equalized to possibly force a PK shootout vs. a crippled Croat goalie.

This is such crap. Russia is so incredibly lucky. I don't know how that ball in the second half went off the post and didn't go in.

Well, to this untrained, unschooled, only interested every 4 years eye, I’m thinking France England final.

Croatia richly deserved that one. Not as close as the score, as we say over here.

Re: ***Official Soccer Thread***
Croatia it is. I don't think anyone had them in the final after they needed a play in to make the tournament. If they beat France it will be a big upset. May it be so.
