Just an incredible designed set-piece goal by the Netherlands.

What just happened?

Leandro Paredes is always the opposite of a calming influence. No idea how he's still on the field.

We're getting the Luuk de Jong/Wout Weghorst buddy cop film from the Netherlands to end this one.

Haven't been a fan of Acuña in this tournament, but that was an inspired dribble to earn the penalty when he could have just laid the ball back off to Messi.

Brasil gonna lose. You don’t mess with cats. Ijs.

Croatia. Incredible. Brazil is out.

Unreal from Croatia to equalize four minutes from time. Petkovic shot deflected by Marquinhos past Alisson. Penalties to come?

Brazil taken to the limit. Career-defining stuff from Neymar. 1-0.

Feel like we might see this guy again

I know Brazil knows this, but you do not want to go to penalties with Croatia.

Croatia's Juranovic is having one of the best performances by a right back that I have seen in a long time.
