Croatia very lethargic in the first half v Japan, Borna looking nervous and co commentator said the same, FFS he's been nervous all season 

Borna is a specialist in nervous, hesitant play. Otherwise, with a little self-belief, he might have been a really good player.

Japan were the better side and more likely to score in the ninety minutes and extra time. Their striker from an SP club that plays in Glasgow looks a lot better than the useless nobody everyone assured us he would be. Borna spent the entire match looking bewildered. He doesn’t position himself well to defend and can’t tackle. Fell down a lot. Put in a couple of decent crosses but that’s a terrific luxury for a team to carry.

 

With regard to penalties, see the earlier topic. The only Croat to miss was the one who tried the clever dick approach.

For all the shock results, it's looking like normality will have reasserted itself in time for the QFs. The only deviation from what you'd have expected is probably going to be Croatia instead of Belgium/Germany.

And even that would be a coin flip given Croatia made the final 4 years ago

So much for that prediction!
