That being said, here are three thoughts about that match:
Thought #1 Croatia played a better game.
I have just fallen in love with Croatian football. It's everything I remember Argentinean and Brazilian football to be. The intricate passing, the llightning quick runs, the pinpoint volleys, the intense passion.
In my honest opinion, for about 86 minutes of the game, Croatia played better football than France. I guess that's why there's a lot of angst about Croatia's loss (not just among Croatians), because they were the better team today but the better team did not win today.
