Japan on top early on. Three consecutive shots all with typical Japanese purpose and honour.

I get the purpose but what is with honour if I may ask?

A bad mistake by Japan at the back but Croatia couldn't take advantage of it.

The blue Samurai set pieces are almost instruction manual like. All parts falling into place. They execute with honour by respecting the game and opponents.
You serious about this ?

Been a problem with Croatia for a few years now. A decent striker would put that away, but Croatia dont have any. Kramaric and Petkovic are average.

A big chance for Japan there.
En route to reaching the final in 2018, Croatia's round of 16, quarter and semi final matches all went to extra time with the first two going to penalties and Mandzukic scoring the winner deep into extra time of their semi final. You could say they were extra time specialists 4 years ago.

A goal to Japan but is there an offside?
No there isn't, the goal stands.

I'm on the Japanese now that Australia and Germany are out. They are on the tough side of the draw tho. Brazil > Argentina > England/France is scary.

Croatia too good to not fight back. Good header

A great header there from Perisic, scores level again.

That is a cracking header to be fair. Not really anything the Japs could have done about that other than get out to the player crossing it a lot quicker.
