Whoever wins has had to go through penalties twice to make semi final.

Subatic it's a hero, save 4 of 10 penalties in the penalties shootout, plus one kicked off by Russia.
5/10 it's a hug rate from penalties.

To be serious............totally agree with you Joe.......Russia have put on a superb World Cup, and their National Team exit, but with heads high.

Channel surfing breakfast tv. It's comical listening to these Aussie presenters discussing the results. Typical analysis:

MALE PRESENTER: "Penalty shootouts are not fair."
FEMALE PRESENTER: "Yes I agree and the players from that team that played Russia shouldn't have
celebrated like they did, it's not nice to celebrate like that while the other team loses."
HOST: "Thanks to the both of you for your expert analysis. Over to you Frank for the latest news on the Aussie triumph in The World Trampolining Championships.

(I'm only SLIGHTLY exaggerating here)

Yeah, 'experts' around the world are all the same.

Penalties are unfair? Why, let's go back to the coin toss era.

Croatia start with a disadvantage in the physical they need two extra time games, and many players look very tired. But win in this form increase the confidence in your goalkeeper, and you play with two options to win...win or tie and win in the penalty shoutout...

England and Belgium maybe can to matched again in the final or in the consolation match.

Tuesday
France vs Belgium

Well said Gil.

It just bugs me that they have to pander to the football illiterate who aren't bright enough to notice the presenters are mediocre at the best of times.

And it bugs me even more when they try to work an Aussie angle into every news item.

"I think the main reason this England team has progressed beyond expectations is the fact Gareth Southgate has a friend whose cousin's next door neighbour once spent two days in Sydney"

Two days in Sidney, wow this it's another level of journalism.
A very low level

Sorry Joe, that wasn't anything that was really said, I'm deliberately using exaggeration to help make my point.
