The two teams who won the penalty shootout will meet to compete for a semi-final ticket. The strength of the Croatia team is obviously superior, and the midfield, including Modri, Rakiti and Perisic, has been in good condition from the start of the group. After the hard knockout of Denmark, the Croatia team was only a step away from replying the glory of the 1998 World Cup in France.
Many predictions have seen the prospect of the Croatia team, and after Germany, Argentina, Portugal and Spain have come out of the championship, Croatia fans are looking forward to the team. In the road to this goal, they first have the advantage of the race, the 8 top rivals are Russia, and the potential four strong rivals will be produced between England and Sweden.
You know, since 1998, this is not only the Croatia team's first knockout, but also from Eastern Europe, the first time to lock a semifinals. Over the past 20 years, Eastern European football has gone from bad to worse, and most of the Eastern European powers who have had far-reaching influence in the world football arena are now mostly desolate. In this tournament, in addition to the host Russian team, there were 3 Eastern European teams in Poland, Serbia and Croatia, and half of them came home in the group stage. For the Russians, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, they first entered the phase of the world cup knockout stage, and they also wanted to make up for the relative gap between their strength and Croatia.
Of course, compared with the strength of the Russian team, the Russian team must be a bit less, but after all the games are at home, in the voice of the fans, the host's fighting capacity can still be improved a lot. Suk, a football player in Croatia, said: "maybe we have a little advantage, that is 51% to 49%, very little."
