Wow

… with the underdog the winner. Big names out galore.
Can't say I much care for the Russian audience. Supporting the home team is of course fine, but guys, you're the hosts, remember? -
I am loving this. What a game and what a save!!

That was a pretty fun end to the game! Crazy World Cup so far. Gives me (probably unwarranted) hopes and dreams for the England squad!
Was surprised and disappointed to see that perfectly legitimate single-footed sliding tackles are now considered a foul if your opponent happens to fall over the ball in the process. When EPL referees decided to make legitimate two-footed sliding tackles a red card offense a few years back, it was pretty shocking to me… but I kind of got it. But one-footed, crunching sliding tackles are my absolute favourite part of playing football. Especially here in the US where pretty much no one does 'em and you get to send some poor guy unexpectedly flying and come away with the ball. It warms the very cockles of my heart. (Or did, when I was playing with any regularity.) I guess 'winning the ball' doesn't count for diddly squat anymore.

We have to loose this game…all the team looks like they are back from a casino trip highly dosed...penalty fucked up...
so...[emoji107]They were poor and should have been better than Denmark the whole way. But they were good in the group stage, so maybe a comeback against Russia?

That game wasn't fun to watch

The game was terrible IMO for the vast majority of it. First four minutes started with a bang, Extra time penalty and the PK shootout made it somewhat worth it but other than that the game itself was one of the more boring matches of the tournament. Croatia looked horrible.

sad to see Mexico go home as well…

wow, Japan up 1-0
