I had to work and almost heard nothing about the game, but a coworker spilled the beans and it was good to see we advance knowing we lost. It's going to be tough getting out of the Last 16, but we'll see...

England gone home ?
Suarez biting and 4 months ban ?
USA survived the group of death ?
Any thoughts ?

England gone home ? Suarez biting and 4 months ban ? USA survived the group of death ? Any thoughts ? England gone before the Last 16 has to be tough and to me a surprise... It's good Suarez got a ban, but I honestly think he should be banned for life... The way this World Cup has unfolded, the Group of Death somewhat was'nt and I'm glad we made it to the Last 16. Spain gone is another surprise, but they seemed old and tired, plus seeing teams like the Swiss, Algeria and Costa Rica going through is really cool stuff...

Man I was like go for it in the extra time Chile, but they played for the PK's and that is what killed them. It was a thriller though, so it'll be interesting to see how far Brazil goes and GO USA! on Tuesday...

Crossbar and Post SAVED Brazil...I came out of my seat 3 times during the shoot out...
Could you have imagined the scene in Brazil had the shot that hit the crossbar gone in during the 120th minute. Holy Cow!
I don't like Brazil's chances going forward...Columbia is gonna give them a run and when/if they get to Argentina, or the Netherlands, or Germany, or France they are in trouble.
The has been a great tournament...hope it keeps going like this!

Wow! What a game for Mexico to only lose it in extra time, when in the 88th minute they were up 1-0. That's why the World Cup can be a nail (a Shoulder if your Suarez) biter, great stuff...

Another thriller between Costa Rica & Greece, what a major loss for Greece having 11 players to 10 and losing in PK's...

I think Greece and Costa Rica will advance no further though. We'll see... Consiudering Greece plays Costa Rica in the Round of 16, I'd say one would have to advance. I do see them getting crushed by Netherlands in the quarters. Oops! I said that before realising that they'd face each other, and it was Costa Rica who advanced. Holland were very lucky, weren't they? I fancy France and Germany to eliminate the African teams today. Algeria want revenge for 1982 (the alleged fixed match between Germany and Austria, google it!). So fellas, do you reckon the US can overcome Belgium?

So fellas, do you reckon the US can overcome Belgium? I really hope the US can make the quarterfinals, but I doubt it,. Belgium has been hyped as a great up and coming team and a darkhorse to win the whole thing. I'm predicting a 2-1 Belgium win, but I will be rooting my heart out for the Yanks to win this one. Funny enough I have heard reports of waffle boycots in honor of the game vs. Belgium. Despite the first 85 minutes of Mexico-Netherlands, there have been no upsets in the ropund of 16 so far, and I'm not anticipating any tomorrow. We'll see if there are some shakeups in the quarters.
