When Croatia equalised in the World Cup semi-final, English hearts broke a tiny bit

But they almost shattered just a few minutes later, when Ivan Perišić. Almost straight after he scored, he beat Kyle Walker to smash the ball across the box, only for his shot to hit the woodwork. https://twitter.com/itvfootball/status/1017129529016553475 An entire nation held its breath for what seemed like an eternity. Of course, ultimately it didn't matter, as Croatia eventually won 2-1 after extra time. But that moment will be remembered for a long time. But nowhere was the country’s feeling better expressed, than on the face of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. Just look. Computer, zoom and enhance. https://twitter.com/BBCMOTD/status/1017132589902127106 https://twitter.com/FIFAWCGoals/status/1017131729633636354 https://twitter.com/ClrDb1/status/1017132140838965248 Who needs Phil Jones with an expression like that?
