Perisic really fucked up a decent chance in that first half. When's the last time he took on a defender? Haven’t seen him turn on the after burners and roast someone for pace in a while.

Brozovic started slow, seemed like he was content letting the game be played around him. Started to come to life a little bit more about half way through the 1st. Nothing super special but a few good balls and no real mistakes so far.

Our RB Dalsgaard looks shaky. However Perisic has not done much about it.

Brozo may decide this with a long range shot

I seriously don't understand the lack of urgency. What do they expect to happen? They'll magically win if the game finishes 1-1?

Brozovic was too laid back, looked like he was shying away from the ball at times when he could have ran into space.

Still, if it goes to extra time they could have done with him on the pitch as he can run all day.

Thats been his role all tournament, its extra with Croatia because he is practically playing by himself in-front of the defense.

I agree with u as well, he should have stayed on, could have also helped in the PKs at the end.

I'm honestly shocked how many bad first touches there have been this tournament. These dudes just can't seem to control a ball.

Its great to see players who can control the ball and make simple passes, making good passes is a bonus.

This like mexico going full force in first two match and then gassed out in third match. Croat doing full speed in first three match and now they run out stamina already look confused unlike the team from group stages. Think in tournament like this its better start slowly and step up the game match by match.

I was surprised how bleak Poland looked compared to Denmark in qualification games, I dont think any team can have it easy against them

Both teams missed few decent chances.

Think this one, defender deflected it. Looks like one more extra time.
