You can never write them off. That sentence applied to Croatia as the last of eight minutes of added time ticked down,mk a chequered cauldron of fans just about holding itself in before the eruption that would follow another victory for the history books. At that point it applied more than ever to Luka Modric, too. He had missed a penalty and then, with virtually the next action, atoned with one of the most thrilling moments of the summer. Forget one last dance: Leipzig was poised to rock until daylight.
