Lozano open on the wing twice now and dudes are just popping shots

Lmao yup

 

[Braindead]

They just get the job done. Neymar and Willian are much better this match than the previous ones, so hopefully they'll be even better in the next one.

 

[TheGabStandard]

It is easy to forget that Neymar was injured from Feb up until warm up matches for the WC. So makes sense he is improving as the tournament goes on

 

[Braindead]

God dammit Belgium get your shit together. Hazard is carrying the team on his own ffs

 

[Braindead]

WHAT THE FUCK MAN

 

[TheGabStandard]

Was looking forward to a potential Brazil Belgium quarters. Might have to scrap that

 

[Braindead]

Lucky af but I'll take it. Come on one more.

 

[Braindead]

YES COME ON

 

[Braindead]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Man this game is so cruel but yet I love it like no other. Great team goal at the end.

The one time De Bruyne actually turns up in this match, they score the winning goal. He's been hiding since this tournament started and it's making me angry.

That may be the cruellest thing I've ever seen in football

Japan went all in on that corner. Giant gamble pushing everyone forward like that for the winner.

 

[The chosen puddle]

That game

 

[M2Dave]

Belgium played out of their minds in the second half, but I feel bad for Japan.

 

[Braindead]

On the other hand...

LET'S GO BELGIUM

For the record, we haven't discussed much which teams we're rooting for. So mine are:
Mains: Brazil, Belgium
Secondaries (I just want to see them do well): Iceland, Egypt.

Brazil vs Belgium is next. Fuck.

 

[Nephrite]

My holidays are over, today was my first day back at work and I missed both games. :-(

I read Japan was 2-0 up, but lost 2-3 in the end. That's so cruel, damn.

I also realized today that I'll miss the Uruguay vs France match, and I really wanted to watch that one. Ugh!

 

[vapid]

I was hoping for Japan to win, and I'd have been happy with them winning the cup -- I think it'd be cool to have an Asian team take it for once.

I'm not a huge fan of Brazil but I hope they beat Belgium.

Sweden-Switzerland and England-Colombia today. Go Sweden!

I still don't know who I want to win out of Brazil vs Belgium

But at least one of my teams is guaranteed to be in the semi-finals. Could've been worse :/

 

[Braindead]

Fantastic by Sweden. They gave it everything.

 

[vapid]

Superb interlocking defensive strategy by Sweden as usual. A well-deserved win, despite the number of misses it took to get there.

 

[kcd117]

Sweden deserved it, despite the bad finishing game. I'm glad switzerland is out bc they were playing the most uninspiring, uninteresting and unpleasant to watch game in this cup by far. All the game stopping fouls, shirt grabbing, wrestling, and referee mistakes got me rooting against this team.

 

[Poto2222]

I second this. I felt so freaking bad for the Japanese squad, that was the saddest possible outcome for them. But Belgium's first goal was 100% unacceptable. How could the GK let that happen? Goddammit, why??

Now Belgium is gonna pay for what they've done to them. lol

But I'm low-key terrified of their team. Damn, Lukaku is a monster on the pitch.

 

[Braindead]

England are actually playing well

 

[Braindead]

Why does Maguire always look like he's about to punch someone any second now?
