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.

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

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.
