I just can't take this result man. Croatia just parked the bus and somehow carried the game to the penalty shoot-outs. This is like the most boring kind of game strategy I have ever seen. Of course I know that they were the underdog and they needed to play more carefully. But I just don't believe they deserved to advance.
Even if Croatia tactic is boring, it is the best way that they can do to deal with Brazil. If they didn't use the tactic "
parked the bus", Brazil attackers will be easy to defeat them. We know that Brazil has great attackers, Croatia cannot play against them with an offensive tactic. A defensive tactic such as
parked the bus", is the most realistic strategy to choose. At the end of the day, "
parked the bus" tactic makes Croatia win, right?
It is a huge disappointment for Brazil. They really tried their best from the beginning to the end. Neymar's goal was a result of a great organization and I was like "That's it!". But Croatia still scored the goal somehow. Brazil needed to be more aware in defense after getting ahead.
Brazil has tried their best efforts, we shouldn't feel disappointed with them. In my opinion, Brazil is just unlucky in penalty shoot-outs. We must appreciate what they have done today.
Argentina has scored the 2nd goal through Messi which means Netherland failed to go to the semi finals and they will fight against Croatia
we will look forward to France and Portugal, which in my opinion one of them will go to the final.
If Argentina can keep their lead with 1 goal until the end of the match, they will go to the semi-final round. Yep, they seem to play against France or Portugal in the final round if they can beat Croatia in the next round. However, don't underestimate Croatia, they are very possible to end Argentina in the semi-final round.
