Decent game, two teams trying to win. Spain may not have been at their best but Croatia definitely showed their credentials and must be among the favourites now.

Not sure I'd put them among the favourites but it was a cracking game and they deserved to win it. Like Bilic just said, it showed that Spain can hurt you but it also showed that you can hurt Spain.

Spain lack a cutting edge. There two worst players are the strikers. Or two of them. I suppise they play with three. Sort of.

Its fucked the draw right up though.

England france spain germany and italy all in the same half of the draw.

The other half only has croayia and belgium who have looked decent.

I wouldnt bet against Croatia making the final now.

Or wales with their amazing passion.

Kinda makes roys decision to rest players and draw the last game crazy now knowing the route we'll have to take compared with the one we could have had.

The standard of refereeing has been pretty good so far at the tournament but how on earth did the officials not order a retake of Spain's penalty? The Croatian goalie was around 3 yards off his line when Ramos struck the ball. Not a great penalty but still......

Looking at the list of teams in the Croatia's half, I fancy them to reach to final. Switzerland, Poland, Portugal, Wales, Northern Ireland, Hungary and Belgium are the other teams and I think Croatia can quite easily beat any of them.

Your forgetting the passion of the Welsh Joe and Hungary look decent.
