I feel like this was Panamas game to lose with how they played and they just couldn’t get enough pressure on net to get a point. Panama I felt could have been a sleeper dark horse to make the knockouts. It’s a shame they went out like this

Fun little game to get me through the middle of the day. Panama has officially been eliminated from the World Cup after they play England. Croatia looks disappointed to be completely honest. A second half goal is really what saved Croatia from possible elimination. If they drew in not sure if they would have made it through. Ghana looks good. Shoutout to the Croatia goalie, he absolutely saved the game for the Croatians. Made huge save after huge save. Big game coming up. Ghana-Croatia. I had Croatia all the way. Would have been a national embarrassment if they lost this game. God help the Congo draw. My picks need this.

This Croatia team isn't looking as good offensively as I expected. In the first half against England, they were incredible, but in the past 3 halves it hasn't been very good. I was expecting them to go far, but now I'm really doubting it. However, if they continue this defensive and goalkeeping performance there's of course always a chance. I think Modric will step up big time soon and lead Croatia to at least a round of 32 victory.

This Croatia team is really lacking some final third creativity. Poor showing for them. And Panama is eliminated.

Panama had some moments, Croatia finds a way

Idemooooo hrvatskaaaaaa ALE ALEEEEE

I was for sure this would end in a tie but Coratia holds on in the end and plays fairly good doing it. I had the draft on while watching this so I was a little in and out but Croatia looked a lot better then there first game.

Panama played a tight game with Croatia but didnt get the goal. Croatia luckily did from Ante Budimir. Huge for them as we would all like to see Uncatia advance out of the group stage.

@underwoodforheisman

I thought Croatia would be better but they looked mid

Group Stage Glory

I fear for Croatia in the next stage of the tournament

Hey another game in Canada!! And having a star like Luca Modric playing. Otherwise the game was ok just one goal a lot of back and forth. But not the fun kind

Had to gather my thoughts on this one because for what is was worth, it was a great game. I think that everyone wrote off Panamá in the game, including Croatia. Los Caneleros got all the momentum for the first 44 minutes, putting the pressure on Croatia, forcing Livakovic to make some awkward saves. But the problem in Panama is their age, and it showed in the second half. Croatia got the opening goal in the second half, and it crushed the spirit of Panamá. Though, it was not the end of the world, with them gaining some momemtum right before the hydration break. I geniunely thought they would score, but it looked as though Vatreni were going to pull through. And as I was changing out a tire, the worst happened. Panamá were eliminated at the hands of Croatia. I'm still proud of this country for showing up, but boy oh boy do i wish they were the winners in this one. Sorry to my best friend who watched her team be eliminated from the worst wifi in Mexico.

Fun game to watch, Panama played great and had stretches of really pressuring Croatia, who got off to a slow start. Smart substitutions and a sharp cross showcased the experience of Croatia and put them over the edge. All in all, a fun back and forth game to watch
