Apparently Borna Barisic beat Brazil today! That’s the view of the Football Scotland Twitter account, the digital face of the Daily Record.
There was one outstanding very Scottish angle on Croatia’s penalty shoot out win over Brazil but it was from Josip Juranovic and that might be a bit painful for follow followers of Football Scotland.
Barisic watched the entire match from the sidelines, as close to the action as Antonio Colak and John Souttar, while the Celtic right-back put in a Man of the Match display.
After missing out the group matches Barisic got parachuted in to the side that got past Japan on penalties, not wishing to push his luck Croatian boss Zlatko Dalic put the Ibrox star back on the bench, and left him there despite making five substitutions.
Next up is a semi-final against Argentina, no doubt Leo Messi will be studying Barisic videos ahead of the semi-final clash.

???? desperate hack looking for a Rqngers angle. Dado Prso was closer to getting a game than Barisic

They’d rather play a left back who’s not well than Barisic!

Juranovic just owned Vinicius Jr to the extent he got taken off…….Croatia’s left-back got subbed in extra-time and Barisic still never got on ??? levels I suppose

His best performance all season

I thought that he was recalled by Sevco in order to play the Bealeball revolution friendly V Bayer 04 Leverkusen, then destroy Hibs on Thursday.
A World Cup with no Jews, no gays, no women (‘Get yer nose out for the lads’). Plenty of migrant workers, injured or dead. A corrupt bid to host. What’s not to like ?
