Croatia have done it *again*, reaching another World Cup semi-final after another penalty shootout to break Brazilian hearts. CROBRA
for Zlatko Dalic’s immovable object of a team. A second successive appearance in the World Cup semi-finals and the favourites stopped dramatically in their tracks.
Instead, the focus now lands on the wisdom of him being designated as Brazil’s fifth and final penalty taker in the shoot-out. It may be the glory penalty, but only if you actually get to take it. By then four perfect Croatian penalties and a save from Rodrygo had left Marquinhos with the Selecao’s entire tournament resting on his spot-kick, which thudded back off the post Orsic had slipped his penalty just inside moments earlier.
The numbers around their two successive runs to the last four are utterly bewildering, though. In 2018 they became the first team ever to reach the final having trailed in all three knockout games to get there; they’re one match away from repeating it. In five matches in Qatar, Croatia have led for precisely 46 minutes. Against Canada. World. Cup. Semi. Finalists.
