Who would have thought that Spain, Germany, Argentina, and Ronaldo would be out of the World Cup by this stage?
This World Cup surely has been one of the best so far?
In a night of penalties, the Russian goalkeeper’s penalty save by his foot saw one of the favorites of FIFA World Cup booted out without losing a match.
Penalties! It was the only way Russia were ever going to win - the entire world could see that. But their tactical plan was superbly executed. There was no luck involved.
Congratulations to the Russians. Never been a fan of the Spanish tiki-taka – and tonite they seemed to be playing among themselves only; it is good for grooming academies. Spain didn't have to be that negative.
Croatia & Denmark goalkeepers too saved penalties off their feet, but the Russian goalkeeper’s sensational save will remain one of the most memorable ‘highlights’ of Russia 2018 for years to come.
