    Still hard to speak on, going to penalties this deep into a World Cup must be unbelievably stressful, even for a seasoned player

      Agreed, mentality is very important for penalties and overtime and Croatia having been through this already is probably an advantage there too.

        True, that was likely the x factor. The way they played to slow the game and focused on maintaining possession, they may have been playing this one out anticipating some advantage in extra time/penalties.
