Crazy second half of extra time. Too bad for Switserland, they were on to something here!

Come on Belgium, make me proud!!!!

 

[mini_cooper4]

Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Spectacular game! Certainly best match this world cup has seen so far!
USA was so passionate and never ever gave up till the last tenth of the second! I was impressed by them in the group but that was a brilliant surprise!
We lost and I'm both pissed and ultra-happy for watching such a phenomenal game! Bravo to both goalkeepers but mostly to Howard!

 

[RS2000 4X4]

Indeed the best game I have seen so far too!!! Belgium finally played decent football, they attacked and attacked against a great USA, who fought till the end!!!
Proud to be belgian today!!! Allready curious for the match against Argentina!!

I am rooting for Germany but don't think they can win against one of the best teams of the tournament.

Brazil - Colombia bah bah bah.

So many faults and the referee doesnt dare to give what he should really give and thus we have a match like rugby. And I am sorry to say this, if Brazil wins the WK with this kind of football that would be an unworthy winner!!!!

In my eyes this referee is clearly Brazil minded!!! So many yellow and even red cards should have been given (the keeper of Brazil for instance).

Yes, but what did you expect. It"s the quarter-final and they are both South-American countries with a lot of temperament....

I hope that Holland and Belgium win there matches tomorrow. And then...........

Very weak game by Belgium, were they run out of stamina? Argentina too, barely made anything, Higuain was the only one attacking, and just for the first half of the game. Messi and the rest were completely under radar.
Also, poor perfomance by both Brazil and Germany... was there any referee on the Brazil-Colombia match? Colombia did a lot of merits to at least equal the match yesterday. Julio Cesar had to be expulsed, it was the last resource.
Let's see how Holland goes, but after this quarter finals, the three clasifieds team didn't play like a potential world champion should...

Kicking off at one in the afternoon doesn't help.

Belgium played like they feared Argentina and it has cost them dearly. In the first 8 minutes a goal for Argentina while they werent that good is deadly. I have to say Belgium deserved the 1-1 and thus the extra time or penalty-time.

Holland also wasnt playing that well and Costa Rica is considered one of the "lower countries" (not by me) in football but they gave Holland a run for the money. I dont see Holland moving any further when they keep playing like this.

Germany or Brazil will win the WK and I hope it is Germany.

The Dutch were smart to swap goalies at the end of extra time for the penalties.

Germany vs. Brazil
Argentina vs. Holland

Can't get better than this.

Go Deutschland!

 

[Star&Car]

^ yea,Deutschland is in control.

Brazil is appealing the Thiago yellow card. You must be joking. If that goes through it is the last drop into the bowl that the world cup is manipulated to favor the hosts. Not that anyone has doubted that before since they have been carried through the tournament by the refs, schedule, pretty much every variable that can be influenced by FIFA.
