Lol remember the people in here saying Croatia was really good?
There is no way anyone can still believe that
Why? Because they beat a scrappy Russian team?

Russia surpassed all expectations. Good for them IMO.
Really excited about Croatia and England. Hope the winner wins the whole damn thing. You've got to think that Croatia is going to be fricking exhausted.

They’ve been pushed to PK’s against an average Denmark side and a possibly the worst Russian team in the last 20 years.
I mean Russia lost like 11 straight coming into the World Cup
If Croatia want to beat England it appears they’ll have to pray for PK’s

I blame this on the first Russian that took that weak PK.
what about the Russkie who couldn't even get it on net even though the ball never got off the ground?

They are World Cup semifinalists. "Average" teams don't become World Cup semifinalists.

In games that didn't matter.

I’m not blaming him, but they don’t call them fans for nothing. To be fair, I don’t know if other countries have idiots that send death threats for stuff like this.
ETA: it was a joke... mafia and all that

This is questionable
Brackets can fall favorably for teams
Remember Turkey?

Are you comparing Croatia and 2004 Greece? That's a terrible comparison. Croatia has more than a few players on top clubs like Real, Barcelona, Juventus, and Inter. Make no mistake -- Croatia is one of the most talented teams in the tournament. They are more talented than England.

Beating a James-less Colombia and Sweden isn't super-impressive.

You said ‘average teams’ don’t make World Cup semifinals.
I’m showing you a complete shite team that won a major tournament.

Before I type anything else out, I'm just gonna say, this seems like a weird hill to die on

They made it 7 games without playing a single European team.

I need help heading my bets. I have England 17/1 at $50.

Fine, point granted. But Croatia is a very talented team. I'll admit they have been stuck in neutral during the knockout rounds. But that could change in a heartbeat.

Both Croatia and England had semifinal potential entering the tournament - the brackets fell favorably. I’m sure most had Spain-Germany on this side or maybe Argentintia-Germany.
Croatia just hasn’t looked all that great since group stages but they’ve played bunkering teams. They’re still a very good team with semifinal talent but have not played to potential last two games.
