Was about to say that I didn't know what the deal was with him, good athlete but has looked extremely raw, misplaced some straightforward passes. Only young, though.

If that were possible. Has either side had a shot on target?

Did Quaresma murder anyone? Because if you sport those tatooed tears but haven't done the crime, in a lot of neighborhoods here you've got a decent chance of getting done.

0 wins in 90 minutes and into the QF.

Croatia were still the better side, but haven't taken their chances.

Vida had some chances, but he's a defender and was unlucky with a couple of them. I actually thought he was the best player on the pitch tonight.
