Agreed on first counts but Modric's 2nd pen was also terrible. Very lucky Schemichel didn't save that as well.Clucking Bell wrote:That was a good game. Both keepers did exceptionally well in the end and Modric kept his nerve the second time around.

Re: Croatia v Denmark- Round of 16 ~ Match thread
The longer that game went on, the more I found myself liking the Danes. Thought they worked extremely hard and made things very difficult for the Croatians, and was particularly impressed by their full-backs, who play for Brentford and Ipswich.
Pity they all took such appalling penalties, though, and the prospect of Russia-Croatia is a more interesting one on paper than Russia-Denmark would have been.

A staggering 15 of the 19 spot kicks saw a goalkeeper leave his line prematurely
Igor Akinfeev, Kasper Schmeichel and Danijel Subasic were all guilty of foul play
