Croatia vs Denmark (R16) - 19:00 - 01/07/2018

[Steel Icarus]

How you doing sealion ?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Aye, the only thing the defender could have done. It's Suarez' handball, only (mildly) less cheaty.

 

[Threshers_Flail]

Modric's pass.

 

[blairsh]

What a save.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I DON'T EVEN CARE MODRIC IS IN MY FANTASY TEAM!

MY GOD!!

 

[Mr Retro]

This Denmark team put 5 past Ireland. How fucking bad does that make us?

 

[Threshers_Flail]

Wow!

 

[tommers]

Haha, come on Denmark.

 

[dessiato]

That's saved the Danish bacon!

 

[Threshers_Flail]

Just wow.

 

[Ted Striker]

Surely the most professional of fouls tho? Straight red?

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Mr QofG's reckons he would do the same anyway i.e. foul and get a penalty if there's an open good as, has just been proved, penalties can be saved

 

[Lord Camomile]

Surely the most professional of fouls tho? Straight red?

Yeah, I have to say I was quite surprised he stayed on the pitch. He probably was too, to be fair!

 

[magneze]

Surely the most professional of fouls tho? Straight red?

That's what I expected...

 

[imposs1904]

What a shit penalty.

 

[Casual Observer]

Modric will be taking another penalty in a minute. I fear he'll miss that one as well.

 

[Ted Striker]

KS knows wheres it's at re: pens. Blows my mind keepers don't do the whole stretchy arms star jumps thing.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Great to see Dad roaring, proud of his big lad

 

[Lord Camomile]

Hm, if you say so, Pat...

 

[TruXta]

Kom igjen nu Danmag!

 

[Steel Icarus]

And just think - in a minute Modric will have to take another against him.

 

[imposs1904]

Croatia to win on penalties. Modric to score.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Surely the most professional of fouls tho? Straight red?

Mr. QofG's thinks that has been changed in the past year and it's not, as used to be, an automatic sending off.

However he has had quite a bit of wine so says don't quite him on that!

'Doing a Suárez'

Doesn't make much difference, but that was a clear red card imo.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I just thought - what's happened with ABBA for penalties?

 

[TruXta]

Definitely a red.

 

[Wilf]

Did the ref forget to send the defender off at the penalty? Not that it would have made much difference, but still, clear scoring chance and all that.

 

[Wilf]

ah, telly says there was a law change. Still, even with the change, looked like a red to me.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

ah, telly says there was a law change.

But he still needs to be making a clear attempt to get the ball. I don't think he was tbh. It was an open goal, so he brought him down.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bollocks.
