This was a really ugly and boring match to witness, both teams were kicking the ball around relying on defensive play that led to absolutely nothing in the regulation time and I don't think Croatia would have won the game if the match went to a penalty shoot-out because it's just a Russian roulette and Portugal might have won again. But I guess it doesn't matter how a win is achieved because the most important thing for Portugal is that they continue to the next round while Croatia won't forget this match for a long, long time. Apparently the trend is to have matches go into extra time and I wonder if we will watch games like this today as well. I hope there will be more offensive plays and more goals this time around though.
