Croatia. Population 4m but that team has got a fighting spirit second to none to go with a lot of talent. Second successive semi-final. What an achievement.

Croatia have now won 4 out of 4 Penalty Shootouts at World Cups. They are level with Germany and Argentina with the most Penalty Shootout wins in World Cup History.

This is what Croatia's Manager had to say to the media about Brazil's team before the match, “Brazil is the strongest & best team in the tournament. When you look at the players, the breadth and quality, it's scary. Brazil are favorite, they have confidence, a great atmosphere, and top players. But I believe we can stand up to them."
Congratulations to Croatia and the team for their constant efforts.
