Today’s Top Quotes:
- “And that’s it! Brazil are out – Croatia do it again!” – Ian Darke’s call as Brazil’s final penalty kick goes off the post to give Croatia the World Cup Quarterfinal win WATCH
- “I think you have to say Argentina – they have Messi, so that’s the X-factor. But when you look at the matchup between these two [Argentina and Croatia], Argentina has not put teams away in this tournament, and Croatia is a team that is comfortable sitting and allowing opponents to take the game to them and finding a way to get a win. So, I think this is going to be a really cagey match but ultimately Messi is Messi – I think he can pull his team through.” – Aly Wagner looking ahead to Argentina-Croatia World Cup Semifinal matchup on FIFA World Cup TODAY
- “Neymar did not shoot in the first five. I think that is going to be a source of controversy going forward and people are going to talk about it – as they rightfully should. Some people are of the opinion you save him until later to have that waiting for you; I want you to put stuff in your pocket. I want you to have that bird in your hand of having your best penalty shooters first.” – Alexi Lalas discussing Brazil not including Neymar in penalty kick shootout WATCH
- “Argentina is among the top four because we show, game after game, that we know how to play each game with the same intensity, with the same will.” – Lionel Messi explaining why Argentina belongs in World Cup Semifinals WATCH
- “We’re a really small country, but today we showed that we are BIG.” – Croatia’s Dejan Lovren recapping dramatic win over Brazil with FOX Sports’ Geoff Shreeves WATCH
- “I think they’ve been around enough to know; if it was like a younger player – asking for a selfie or Messi’s jersey like we saw with the Australian player and that was at halftime – that would be something different. But because they were teammates … I think it’s situational; and in that situation, it’s fine.” – Jimmy Conrad on Brazil’s Casemiro and Croatia’s Luka Modrić swapping jerseys at halftime WATCH
