They lost, oh well.

Germany was the better team.

Usual suspects into the semis. Too bad Brazil will not be full strength.

I look forward to one of the following:

A) Tyson either ignores this thread now that his pick has been eliminated (as I predicted of course).
B) Gymnastic back pedaling.
C) They lost, oh well. Germany was the better team.

Nice edit MOD

Can't let me have anything can you?

Really wanted Colombia to win.

It was supposed to make you chuckle. Sorry.

Without Silva and Naymar, you'll likely get your wish (seeing Brazil go down at least, not CO winning obviously) when they go up against Germany on Tuesday. I'm still sticking to my guns on NED taking it all, this doesn't really change much.

You lost my chance to be humble is all, I'm rarely wrong but when I am . . .

Germany: My second favorite team. If Lithuania had a team, they'd be second and Germany would be third.
Either way, FUCK France.

Argentina continue to find a way to win. Solid defense. Belgium will learn from this tournament and do more damage next WC.

Floppin Robben

Ugh, I hate The Netherlands.

What a finish! I couldn't sit down. CR did all they could. The Dutch were the better team but hot damn was that ending awesome. Semis will be the shit!!!!!

They weren't better by much. For all the shots they took, it was amazing that they couldn't get any in.

I really wanted Costa Rica to win. Very disappointed.

YES!

Recap:
Germany - France & Argentinia - Belgium were carbon copies.
Brasil - Colombia was tense. Colombia played bad in the first half, I dislike Scolari (refs should protect Neymar but has Fernandinho kicking Rodriguez around the place), Neymar out. Not that I am fan but that's not cool to happen.
Netherlands - Costa Rica. Before the game Louis said: "Do no make a goal, I want to do cool stuff before the penalties."
Almost believable. No, the Dutch should've settled it in 90 minutes, but alas, the Dutch defeated their world championship penalty syndrom.

On Costa Rica:
won vs Uruguay (world champions 1930 + 1950)
won vs Italy (world champions 1934 + 1938 + 1982 + 2006 & european champions 1968)
draw vs England (world champions 1966)
won vs greece (european champions 2004)
loss vs the Netherlands (european champions 1988)

Pretty cool run to be proud of.

Brazil will win tonight in a penalty shoot out

Without Silva or Neymar? Possible, but I'm not so sure. Before those losses I would definitely agree, Brazil was my pick.

I'm praying Auckland Trains run on time this morning so I can get to work early and watch the first half.

They fucking won't though.

WHAT IS GOING ON

lol

Brazil decided to throw their local High School team on the field today.

Wonder what Scolari is telling them right now..

Pull your heads out of your asses and play futbol?

This is an atrocity. At least they started the second half with some balls. Couldn't convert at least 4 good looks, but I hope they get at least one.

This shit is over.

Their defense just stood there for that one... I cant watch this anymore.

Haha..what a massacre.

I had a feeling it was going to be Germany even before the cup started. I wish I placed my bets but nobody would have predicted 7. Wow.

As Martin Tyler put it on Brazil, "less focus on the haircuts, more focus on performing."

Germany all the way.
