Nice victory Sweden!
It's really shocking to think about that either Russia, Croatia, Sweden, England or Colombia will be in the final in this World Cup. Except England none of them has ever won the World Cup, defnitely looking forward to that!

This! Some consistency would be nice... I'm sure people will be like "oh but they can't give a penalty + red card because new rules" but since the ref initially gave a penalty as well as the red card that clearly isn't the case... |
Funny thing is it's always been a red card if you're the last man (doesn't matter is the Keeper is further back) back and stop a goal scoring opportunity so when Denmark got away with it the whole situation didn't even make any sense it was a clear red card situation.
Honestly this ref was harsh all game long

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

That Danish player should have gotten a red, but now the referee can decide if they were trying to get the ball.

My main issue (and think he should be given a yellow for it) is how the fouled player went down... he literally waited until he was in the box to then fall over. Disgraceful.
Hmm, pie.

Yeah, but they also finished 3rd in 94, so this should be their third quarter final, rather than second. |
Sweden finished in the top 8 at the World Cup quite often: 1934, 1938, 1950, 1958, 1974, 1994, 2018
The format from the world cup was significantly different compared to now, 74 was like the old champion's league format with two group stages, 58 they had less teams so the was no second round it went straight to QF, 94 is really the only WC comparable to today's WC tournaments format.
This card begging now by the english

Where are the people claiming that overreactions “ruined” the game for them? Sweden’s faking penalties and all this drama and theatrics between British and Colombian players and I’m not seeing complaints.
