I agree that it should have been red, but wouldn't you have done exactly the same in the situation?

Probably anyone would have gone for 'probably a goal' (penalty) rather than 'definitely a goal' (doing nothing) :p

 

It wasn't red though, there's a small distinction in the rules. He went for the ball and had a somewhat realistic chance at that. It would have been red if clearly all he could do was bring the Croatian guy down. 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

But it stopped a sure goal, so it should be I think.

Schmeichel did all he could but his teammates forgot their aim in the changing rooom.

 

As I said before the game, Croatia played their first real game today (because Nigeria and Argentina are joke teams), and what was seen isn't satisfactory.

 

Anyway, in a normal day they should pass Russia who are clearly weaker than Denmark.

 

Would say that Eriksens penalty was pretty good and a great save. Schöne was pretty bad but not terrible while Nicolai was without doubt a bad one

What would you people do if you were Modric? Take the first penalty or not? After missing one to basically decide the match.

 

Hard decision :p

I think i would have taken the penalty. If they win, it doesn't matter whether he took the penalty or not. If they lose and he made his penalty, then at least he can say that he somewhat made up for his missed penalty and won't always have to ask himself whether he should have taken it. In 3 out of 4 possible outcomes taking the penalty would be the better decision in my opinion, so i think it would be better to take it.

You could also see it this way: Why did Modric take the penalty? The reason probably is that he is their best penalty-taker, so if he can get the missed penalty out of his head, he would increase their chances to advance by taking one of the penalties, so it's somewhat his duty to do it, but of course only he himself can tell whether he is able to get the missed penalty out of his head or not.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Yes, so? Just because i would have done the same, it doesn't make it right.

    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He chances the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for smal/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
    • was also invited to the special edition of the Bolivarian Games and seems like  is not participating.
