Extra time was brilliant, Penalties were absolutely terrible. 2 misses for Croatia, My sister could of done better imo. and she cries whenever she kicks a half-inflated ball.
Edit: I forgot to ask, Whoever watched it what did you lot think of it? I thought it was a load of bollacks.

Croatia were crushed. They were never going to win. Looks like the Germans are in the final though, Turkey will be a walkover for them. Why are Turkey even in this, they're not even in Europe? Real dirty buggers too, that clothesline on the Croat in the last minute of ordinary time was ridiculous.

Only watched the 2nd half of Extra time but that was enough to show that Croatia should of won, I thought the reff blew the whistle, Was gobsmacked then Turkey equalized. ( Or equalised, I forget  ) |

Slaven Bilic - Paid tuppence Ha'penny per year at Croatia, where's he going to end up?
Turkey only ever reached third place 4 years ago in the World Cup.

Bilic - great manager, in my opinion, who would be well worth taking a chance on for a Premier club.
Very dignified in defeat too.

Agree cracking manager, wanted croatia win it, he was saying how some bigger countries, thier players have lost touch with fans and they lost their focus. Sums up England perfectly. |

I thought Bilic fucked up when they scored late on, he needed to keep calm and tell his players that the game wasnt over.
Spent the pre penalty talk arguing with the officials.
Good manager but he showed his inexperience tonight.

to be fair to Turkey they were missing players last night - suspensions will hit them again though.
imho Germany are not better than some of the sides already gone but yes looks like another final for them.

Turkey are actually a great time... They were good a few years back put players like Hakan Suhker ect are close to retireing so they do have a youngish team.
Players like Semi, Nihat, Emre ect.. they have a good squad and will put up a good fight against germany.

I felt gutted for them, it was like playing Dull when they scored a last minute equaliser!
Croatias pens were shocking though
Those filthy Turks will get thrashed by Germany

Wonder if Laurent Blanc afforded himself a little chcukle at that nice Mr. Billic's misfortunes?
Probably not, considering how gash France have been.

Spot on.
The last thing Croatia needed was the manager running 50 yards to pile on top of the players celebrating the goal.
He needed to be trying to get his players to focus on the last minute or so rather than celebrating reaching the semi-final.
There is no way on earth that Croatia should have had four players caught offside 15 seconds from the end of the game leaving them short at the back when the free kick was humped forward.
Made it one hell of a last couple of minutes though. ;D

Turkey's biggest problem is the number of suspensions they will have for the Germany game. That will ruin any hopes of getting to the final I should think.
