I missed today's matches because I was playing Warhammer. Did anything exciting happen?

Why did Croatia look so bad today? Gary Neville was talking about a change that Denmark made to neutralize their formation, but that doesn't explain how sluggish and uninspired they looked compared to their group stage games. Spain, too - just completely flat, no energy or spark at all.

Is very snow-broth;
One who never feels
The wanton stings and
Motions of the sense

I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money.
I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.

It's hot and humid and international football is a bunch of underprepared patchwork squads flailing about after long domestic seasons of real football.

Possibly, but also drop older players, promote youth and devise a new tactic. Aragones did all that and then Del Bosque did what he always does, which is to do nothing and let the players do their thing.
