Getting more tips done first :) oh o too late 

Yes true agree but I get why in the scenario it’s tight last pen situation but I learnt in our own GF not long ago - we saved our best taker till last - we lost he didn’t even take one like Neymar.
so yes play your aces 1 2 3 on

wjat a game by the Cros, stay in there stay in there that’s what it’s about.
Impressed with them all - damn even old Lovren held his own all game.
Modric what a general - comes deep to get the ball, pass return back into space for his age his mobility is still a key apart from his great footwork.

Lol 😂 

Congrats, that was a big surprise, amazing result, have not watched it yet.

I can't exactly see the contact on Acuna there. Why is he grabbing the knee that clearly wasn't hit? Bit of a joke to give that a penalty. 

Fucking Argentina are so dirty. Foul then smash the ball into the Dutch bench and now everyone charges in. As bad as the Arabs when it comes to faking it when you need to but rushing it when you're behind. 

That is ingenious by the Netherlands to make it 2:2. Hahahaha lovely. Argentina so fucking dodgy with their falling and time wasting. 

Superb goal.  Well worked, beautifully taken.

Everyone knew their role. A training move. De Jong moves immediately to give the scorer space. The far players all waving to get Argentina to focus on them. Hilarious the dickhead lying on the floor had nearly fallen asleep and watches the ball roll in. 

Hope I'm wrong, but it looks destine for pens.

Prefer netherlands to dispose of these can'ts before it goes to pens

Then again

Failing at pens...... tough choice

:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

If Netherlands win this. BuT ThEy wEre A pOSt aWaY FRom bEiNG eliMiNAtEd

FFS. Croatia with the earlier ice bath at least. Argentina with some suspensions coming up. It'll be a real battle between those two.

Brazil have struggled against euro opposition in knockout games

14 yellows in that game. Most cautions still in the battle of Nürnberg between Portugal and Netherlands with 16. Germany Cameroon in 2002 also.

I’m guessing you were going for Holland lol 

Can't stand the majority of South American teams with their antics. 

a classic netherlands WC knockout stage perfornance. sure ive seen them get level with 2 late goals then lose in ET or pens at least twice beforw

Massive game for Croatia, probably their biggest ever (maybe Germany 1998 just ahead).

Mentally huge team, possibly the best. Nobody to fear now.

Very stressful morning - have been up since 1 and no chance for sleep during the day.

I’ve had an hour sleep if at all.
huge games both to pens.
can’t ask for more than that.
sorry for you VVD but glad you’ll be ready for Clubland but no more pens for you 😀
something about the players 
Modric and Messi just sheer class, your no where near these 2 Neymar.

I agree re the mighty mentality monsters Croatia !
That was epic play to watch and deserved the result.
fingers crossed they do it 2 more times 🤞

At what point are Brazil the new Mexico? They’ve gone out in the quarters in 4 of the last 5 WCs. Only one journey to the semis in front of a home crowd.

Croatia were brilliant so mentally tough. Criminal by Brazil to concede on the counter in the 117th while leading though. I think we all knew there was only one team winning the shootout after that. Croatia are becoming like Germany with penalty shootouts, you can't tell me shootouts are luck when the same teams always win them.  

So the American journalist, Grant Wahl, who tried to gain entry to a stadium wearing a rainbow shirt and just published a story about worker deaths has just been found dead in Qatar. 

WTF?

Grant Wahl collapsed in the media area of the stadium during ET of Argentina Netherlands. He was at a doctor on Monday citing chest pain. He himself wrote in a newsletter this week how draining the little sleep and stress was. It sounds like he's worked himself to death. Absolutely tragic. 

Really don't know how to gauge England France. Biggest England game in a while I think. Bigger than the Euros against Germany and Denmark. 

What a match day we had, firstly Brazil to lose to Croatia was a shock even though Croatia made the final last world cup I expected Brazil to beat them but fair play to Croatia, they a tough nut to crack and showed special character to win on penalties again (apparently they have won the last 4 knockout matches via penalties).

Argentina almost blew it against Holland whom I thought were very underwhelming, they had 1 shot for about 80 minutes until they scored twice late and offered very little in extra time and Argentina were the better team and had chances to win by more too in normal time and in extra time but they didnt take them.

I think it will be a very close semi final, Argentina will be favourites but Croatia are locked in mentally so it will very interesting.

By the way the scenes at the end of the Argentina vs Brazil was crazy as well, you can tell it was personal for players on both sides especially the Argentinans who felted disrespected by the Dutch whom we know they can be quite arrogant to their opponents.

France vs England will be very close and I think it could go either way to be honest, Morocco vs Portugal will be close too but I think Portgual will be too strong.

Either way this World Cup has been something else.

Yes this cup sure has been great after all the pre political crap football has done the talking.
I never want it to end actually I love watching this intensity and no 2nd legs it’s winner takes it all or you’re out and how much that must hurt.
your right about Holland Barca they lacked effective edge in attack, kudos to them though getting it to pens.
Messi would have been worried once it drew level.
terrible first couple of pens by Hollande cooked them.
The antics that followed was pretty ugly and bad sportsmanship.
