CROATIA KNOCKED OUT DENMARK BY 3-2 IN THE PENALTY SHOOT-OUT ON 01.07.2016 IN THE FIFA WORLD CUP OF 2018 !!!

"Within 2 minutes of the match,

Mathias Jorgensen of Denmark scored a goal to take

1-0 lead against the Men in BLACK.

Just within a few minutes, Mario Mandzukic of

Croatia scored the equalizer and in this competitive match,

it is surely a very quick COMEBACK.

Both the goals looked so simple,

as if the quality of the goalkeeping

was not upto the MARK.

Denmark was not getting too much space

as a strong and organized control in the midfield

region is, as usual, Croatia's TRADEMARK.

The match on 01.07.2018 went to extra time, as in

90 minutes, the defensive zone of both the teams

looked so solid and TIGHT.

Despite so many attacking moves from both flanks,

Croatia failed to score against Denmark, the team which

counterattacked and continued the FIGHT.

Due to a foul tackle at the penalty box,

an opportunity to score a

goal missed by the Croatian, KRAMARIC.

Croatia got a penalty,

but, alas, what a waste

of that penalty shot by MODRIC !

The match of Croatia Vs Denmark

in the 'Round of 16' stage, finally

went to the TIE-BREAKER.

What a match ! What a drama ! Finally, Croatia won

it by 3-2 in the penalty shoot-out, which was

so thrilling and almost a BREATHTAKER.

As the match progressed,

it became the battle of

Danish, Schmeichel and Croatian, SUBASIC.

Ultimately, Denmark got knocked out,

as the victorious goal got

scored by the Croatian, RAKITIC."- Arindam Sain

RUSSIA KNOCKED OUT SPAIN BY 4-2 IN THE PENALTY SHOOT-OUT ON 01.07.2018 IN THE FIFA WORLD CUP OF 2018 !!!

"On 01.07.2018, if the Spanish strikers were

too dominating minded and POSSESSIONAL,

then the Russian defenders were

too cool-headed and CLINICAL.

Ignashevich had no clue momentarily,

about how he scored

an own GOAL.

Though, in the 1st half itself, Russia got a penalty

and Dyzuba scored the equalizer with that penalty

shot to play the heroic ROLE.

Time started PASSING;

and Spain kept on MISSING.

The Spanish footballers

kept on trying with

their 'Tiki-Taka' passing BUSINESS.

But, the Russian defenders were so organized, that

one may feel there is an invisible wall

to guard the Russian FORTRESS.

No results even in the Extra Time, so, the match

went to the stage of Penalty SHOOT-OUT.

Russia team had the last laugh with a result of 4-2

and the Spain team got knocked OUT.

Russians all around the world may be enjoying

their Royal Russian Vodka PEG;

by saying, 'Today, we are victorious against Spain,

due to Igor Akinfeev's left LEG.'"- Arindam Sain

URUGUAY KNOCKED OUT PORTUGAL BY 2-1 ON 30.06.2018 IN THE FIFA WORLD CUP OF 2018 !!!

"By now, almost everyone appreciated

the fact that in this FIFA World Cup

of 2018, Uruguay is a good, balanced SIDE.

On the other hand, Portugal is a good team, but,

more popular to the world, because of

Christiano Ronaldo, who is popular WORLDWIDE.

After some rapid passes, Edinson Cavani

got a ball to head

inside the Portuguese NET.

Portuguese Pepe scored the equalizer

with a header, and by that time,

for Portugal, it was not too LATE.

But, alas, Uruguay got 2-1 lead due to a

curling shot by Edinson Cavani, whose

foot-touch on the ball was so DELICATE.

Portugal tried hard but failed to come back

in the match, and got knocked out from the

'Round of 16' stage with a bad FATE."- Arindam Sain

FRANCE KNOCKED OUT ARGENTINA BY 4-3 ON 30.06.2018 IN THE FIFA WORLD CUP OF 2018 !!!

"France got a penalty as the player who got

fouled is Kylian Mbappe, the French young MAN.

France got 1-0 lead as the penalty

shot was taken by Antoine GRIEZMANN.

Argentina made it to

1-1 as the Angel di Maria's

long, super speedy shot was just OUTSTANDING.

Lionel Messi's pass was so good that

to make it 2-1, Gabriel Mercado just

touched the ball and started CELEBRATING.

After taking 2-1 lead, the Argentina defense

line-up showed slight COMPLACENCY.

Benjamin Pavard scored the equalizer for France, by

taking an acrobatic style long shot, your EXCELLENCY.

The weaknesses of Argentina defense line-up were capitalized

by the French footballer who was wearing Jersey No. 10.

Kylian Mbappe scored back to back 2 goals to make it

4-2 for France and increase Argentina's PAIN.

Argentina pulled one back in

the stoppage time to make it 4-3, and missed another

golden chance as France had a better LUCK.

Argentina team failed to win against France,

and they got knocked out from the World Cup of 2018 on

30.06.2018, as in the 'Round of 16' stage, they got STUCK."- Arindam Sain

ENGLAND QUALIFY IN THE NEXT ROUND EVEN AFTER LOSING BY 1-0 AGAINST ITS GROUP LEADER TEAM, BELGIUM ON 28.06.2018 IN THE FIFA WORLD CUP OF 2018 !!!

"Panama on 28.06.2018,

got 1-0 lead due to a

Tunisian's own goal; what a PITY !

Tunisia came back to win the match by 2-1, as Ben

Youssef scored the equalizer and Wahbi Khazri scored the

winning goal, as the goal post was EMPTY.

In the other match, nothing is so special, except that left

footed, perfect heighted, curly shot to score a goal by

Adnan Januzaj; which is itself a perfect PREMIUM.

England qualified in the 'Round of 16' stage, though,

losing the match by 1-0

against its Group leader Team, BELGIUM.

On this day, if we

analyze the England

Team's Performance DASHBOARD;

then, surely, the most impressive

player of the match

is the Englishman, Marcus RASHFORD."- Arindam Sain.

COLOMBIA BEAT SENEGAL BY 1-0 TO QUALIFY IN THE 'ROUND OF 16' STAGE ALONG WITH JAPAN, WHICH GOT BEATEN BY POLAND BY 1-0 ON 28.06.2018 IN THE FIFA WORLD CUP OF 2018 !!!

"Colombia had no

other option

than to WIN.

Senegal was initially looking

for a draw, but, later on, they realized,

what a drama it has BEEN !

Colombia took the lead by 1-0 as a

corner kick got utilized with

a header by Yerri MINA.

Senegal players attacked well, took so many shots at

the target, but, failed to beat

the Colombian goalkeeper, OSPINA.

Whereas, in the other game, Poland was leading

by 1-0 due to a quick

shot by Polish, Jan BEDNAREK.

Japanese spectators were so tensed,

as if in Russia itself, there

has been a mild tremor or EARTQUAKE.

Japanese footballers, despite trailing

by 1-0 wasted their time,

which was bit of a GAMBLE.

By seeing such wasteful and negative minded football

played by the Japan team in the last 10 minutes or so,

the Japanese spectators started to GRUMBLE.

Colombia beat Senegal by 1-0 to qualify in the next

round, and despite losing by 1-0 against Poland

on 28.06.2018, Japan got a REWARD.

As per the Fair Play Award System, the Senegalese players

failed to qualify in the 'Round of 16' stage, as in respect to the

Japanese players; they were booked more numbers of YELLOW CARD."- Arindam Sain

The 1-0 score got equalized by a quality header

from the Costarican player, Kendall  WASTON.

Josep of Switzerland

made it 2-1

on this day of SUMMER.

But, alas, Costarica got a penalty, though, luckily,

the ball went inside the net after hitting

at the back of Swiss goalkeeper, SOMMER.

For the 1st goal for Brazil, Paulinho

made a high level CHIP;

Thiago Silva's header made it 2-0 for Brazil

as the Serbian goalkeeper failed to GRIP.

After the matches on 27.06.2018, both Brazil

and Switzerland qualify for

the 'Round of 16' ROUND.

Brazilians on this day, played

skilful and soothing football

to dominate Serbia on the GROUND."- Arindam Sain
