So are Croatia screwed with Subasic not 100 percent if this goes to penalties?

Depends.  Subasic is playing out of his mind right now for having a tweaked hamstring.  Really depends on if the Russian players take their PK's the way each of them normally would individually or if any of them try to get cute to target the side his injury is on.  Stands to reason that Subasic is going to have trouble pushing off to that side, but overthinking and trying to get too cute (versus just stroking it the same way you would a free-throw) are two of the biggest ways to botch a PK attempt.

This game has been bad. And you think Croatia-Russia is a better game than Croatia-Spain? Good grief.

More entertaining yes. I don’t enjoy watching a team needlessly pass the ball around while making no attempt to actually attack for large portions. This game has had a lot of drama.

What I was thinking. Russia might try and push him and shoot themselves in the foot.

They need to switch it up anyways considering both just went to PKs
