It's a shame that the best goalkeeping of the tournament so far has come from Akinfeev......it just had to be against England didn't it ?

Deserved lead for the Croats at the break. Turkey play some nice stuff but haven't really tested Subasic.

He didn't have that much to do really.
But I thought he could have done better for the gal |

Goal of the tournament so far for me that. |

the technique was brilliant, the volley was brilliant but the keeper should have done better...

Haha, Bilic won't accept that the goal was anything other than a fantastic strike
![]() The replay does conclusively show that the keeper dived too late, though. |

Croatia needed that I think. With the players they have in midfield you might well think that they'd be looking to play through the middle. They couldn't really get that going as Turkey were holding their positions well. Instead they had to throw crosses in.
They did look dangerous from the crosses, and the goal stemmed from one but I'm not sure that's what they'd have liked to have been doing. Was beginning to look like it would be 0-0 at HT and frustration could well have crept in if it was. |

For me, Modric's goal was just a hit and hope, Payet actually aimed for the top corner.

No way, Payet's didn't need a mistake from the keeper to go in. Any decent goalkeeper would keep Modric's shot out. It had to be saved.

They should find the idiots that set off those ****ing flares or whatever they are, that sound like bombs going off and kick them out of the stadium and ban them from the rest of the tournament

I don't know about 'had to be saved'. I think some goal keepers definitely would have saved it, but there was the unexpected factor, along with the power and obscured view which made it very difficult.

Not a fan of Turkey's giant no 9, think they need more pace and trickery there

How did he get away with no yellow for that assault on Srna ?

Thought the same. Who's thick enough to think it's a good idea to bring something that makes a bang that loud into a stadium in a country that has had recent bombings. Unbelievable.

Very unlucky. Terrific free-kick.

Srna is my fantasy side, so I could do with him taking one of these chances!

I think the Turkish keeper made a bigger mistake there than he did on the goal, parrying the ball towards three Croatians on the other side of the penalty area.
