Absolutely gutted. Organised with the gf (Croatian) to watch the game with about 10 other Croats. I think the problem is, we didn't really expect Croatia to play so well, which makes it all that much harder to take. So close, yet so far away.
Again refereeing decisions come into it. For me, its a penalty - but just. The Croatian group was very 50/50 over it - one did say though that if the referee is taking that long to look at it, surely it cannot be a penalty? Surely you have to be 100% sure? Which is a decent point.
My bigger problem is the freekick for the own goal. Griezman was already falling on the floor before anyone came near him.
I'd love to see what some posters (St Juste) have to say about Croatia now. After saying they're a poor team (because they lost to Scotland in 2013
). Croatia were excellent yesterday and will go home with their heads held very high.
Oh also St Juste, you're right - as you said, Modric is really hated in Croatia
He's being celebrated as their national hero you mug ![laugh :lol: :lol:](/styles/flatawesome/xenforo/smilies/laugh.gif)
