Buh-bye Belgium...what a disappointing cup they had. Lukaku blew it big time this morning. Just not their day I guess. Congrats to Morocco & Croatia on a great performance.


I hope that Germany isn't the next to go home early.

Germany and Belgium, aging giants of the game, are out - Japan, Australia and Morocco are into the knockout rounds.

Betting houses must be making a fortune on this tournament -

Spain! What happened?

:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::monkey::shameonyou:

It's good that they got a loss during the round of groups before the 'octavos' round.... at least the kids are through, and now know the hype can be real if they allow themselves to believe in it too much.

Wish I'd watched both matches, they sound pretty crazy, CR/Zee Germans & Spain/Japan.

Suerte muchachos!

For a moment there Costa Rica was winning and if they kept their victory both Germany and Spain would have gone home. Crazy.
That was a wild second half for the group. Spanish manager claimed he didn’t even know that at one point around 70’, Spain were going out if they didn’t score another goal… They still couldn’t score.

Gotta give Japan credit, beating both Spain & Germany and topping the group. Nobody predicted that. Had only 18% possession today… WTF!
Defended so well. Extremely disciplined.

Another group twist in the dying minutes of the games this morning. Uruguay in the driver's seat until Korea scored the go ahead goal against Portugal to secure their spot in the Round of 16. Congrats to Portugal & South Korea on advancing!

Your country has like two dozen people. The stuff getting squeezed into the North Sea by Germany (LOLOLOLOL) and France and Croatia/Lesser Croatia are hands down the biggest over-achievers in soccer.

If Danelaw had 350 million people it'd be France, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, England, and 27 countries handing out passports to Danes.

The US team has been looking young and aggressive. We have only beaten the Netherlands once in WC history but that was the most recent battle in 2015. US is probably the underdog tomorrow but not by much with this team if you ask me.

Some last minute heroics by Cameroon to beat Brazil, but needed Serbia to score one more to advance...
Congrats Brazil & Switzerland.



On to the Round of 16!
