Denmark to go first.

FuckFuckBoy:
He's very lucky they didn't send him off

It was a red card offence, no doubt. He is super lucky.


Penalty shoot out!

Modric's psyche has been bashed. He should stay away from the shoot out, if there would be any, as every chance to prove a point might meet a brick wall.

Modric lost it!


This is the year of goalkeepers.

devigblegble:
Denmark has a black player too I’m amazed

There are so many black players plying their trade in Denmark.

Should Denmark beat Croatia tonight, it would mean Russia would cruise into the Semi final round. I don't see how this Denmark side can stage an upset to qualify to the next phase.

Half Time!

Denmark is hell bent on defending.

I thought Spain vs Russia's game was boring but this match is on a whole new level of boring.

Another penalty as it stands


Dominique, you need to ban some clowns here, please.

OGHENAOGIE:
if only we had a dogged coach who can play as Russia and Uruguay did but I think this is a world cup Brazil ll win

I'm tipping Brazil as well.

Guy ,you hate too much. So messi didn't get two assists yesterday? Your beloved Madrid in form of Spain just got sent home. Take your loss in good faith.

Stop crying like a witch, please. I'm Nigerian before being a Madridista. The make up of the Spanish team today was a blend of Barcelona, Real and Atletico Madrid, so how then is it a Madrid team?

History won't record assist but goals. If you're butt hurt Messi crashed out of the tourney in an unceremonial fashion, blame him and his team mate and not cry to my mentions.

Iago Aspas loses!


SPAIN IS OUT!!!!!


RUSSIA GOES THROUGH!!!!!!

Cheryshev scores!

Ramos scores!

Golovin scores for Russia!

Koke loses!

Akinfev saves it! Spain is in trouble!

Russia scores!

2-2

Pique scores!

Smolov scores for Russia!

Spain to go first!

Madrid would conclude with De Gea with this shoot out!


Iniesta scores!

End of extra time!

Onto penalty shoot out!!!!!!!!!!

Russia fancies the penalty shoot out. Their play reveals a whole lot.

One minute added!

One minute more!

Tension is rising at this point.

Two minutes to go!

These Russian side are resolute!

Thank GOD!!!!!

Penalty loading!

VAR is killing football to an extent!!!

Be versatile in segregating and comprehending information.
In my original post, I opined that the importance of Messi in a team such as Spain would have had a great positive counteroffensive impact against Russia.
I brought teamwork into play here. I didn't overemphasize the importance of a player, neglecting its teammates.

Let's not shift goal posts, biko. I believe the below belongs to you.

Bluezy13:
Spain need Messi in this their team.


Messi would push the ball into the Russian box, taking the war to them thereby forcing them out of that time-killing defensive game they are playing.

Emekus92:
What is host nation?
Is Spain playing to score?
was it not the host nation that Germany flog 7-1 last world Cup? why didn't they consider and stop scoring since they r playing the host nation?

Answer this question Mr man

Some of you just argue with your anus upward. The host nation is not invincible in a World Cup tournament. This same Russian side have been beaten by Uruguay 3-0 in this same tournament. That is not to say that anyone would find it easy with them.

If Spain is not playing to score, what are they playing to do, please?

HALF TIME-EXTRA TIME!

OGHENAOGIE:
forget home advantage ooo Spain are not so convincing de are lucky to play Russia If na Uruguay de for hear am....football is not played on paper....

Here is a stunner, Portugal's goal attempt against Uruguay was more than their three matches combined. The reason for this? They knew Uruguay are a nuisance at the back.

Your opponent often times go a long way to determine how you'd play. The stronger they are, the better your play.
