It's not so simple. In this case, I think both want a win and avoid penalty kicks, but they are equally matched and after almost 120 minutes, they are tired physically and mentally.
4 games in 13 days, all man are out of gas.

These players are mostly worn out from playing every 3 days thru today for club and country since August. They are not used to this workload.

LOL I guess Croatia knew what they were doing, Japan obviously should have gone for it in regular and extra time.

Poor penalty by Japan. Can we start to insult Asia?
