But really it was the banner their fans put up about Milan Borjan that made me think, I won't be sad when they go out.
No reason for them to care they did what they had to to get up for the game and win but I think they lost a lot of respect from neutral supporters in Canada.

I like Croatia. they have some players that I really like and in all honesty, I had almost no issue with the Canada match. Sure, the fans and their banner about Borjan is pretty bad, but that wasn't the players.

I really find some of the pearl clutching about what the Ultras did to be absurd. Where was all the outrage when English Hooligans are on video making a school shooting song against the usa? Give me a ####ing break

I dunno why Canadian fans would be outraged about what English fans did against the US? Stick up for your own

Was Japan scared to shoot high on their penalty kicks? Seemed a touch timid to me.

I'm no soccer expert but those were 3 bad pks from the Japanese.
and especially that last kicker. He should have shot right.

You have to at least get it 18 inches off the ground. Even if he gets a hand on it those last 2 saves are probably goals if there is any air under the ball.

I believe in the Jays.

The second and third saves were going side netting. Those are really good saves.

Yea those weren't good PKs at all, but kudos to the keeper. I've never really seen a keeper make the net look so small. Almost made it look like the PKs were advantage keeper.

Some of the worst penalties taken, after 2 low and soft shots let's just do it one more time when you have a chance to get back into the penalties.
Japan choked this one away.

Unlike in hockey where the keeper is expected to save the penalty shot, PK takers here are supposed to score.
