at least croatia's more direct than spain- they'll go at it, instead of pass around infinitely at midfield.

This was the worst knock out game so far for me.  I spent 110 minutes of that game screaming at the tv "do something, take some one on, dribble the damn ball, try a cross!"

nope.    "dink - dink - dink" for a 120 minutes

Helps to have Manduzic in the box too.

Very true, but to be fair its not like Costa is a slouch in the box.  He was left holding his junk the whole game.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Made me Saab

In norway, shape or form is that funny.

At least he wasn't grabbing other player's junk.  A sign of his maturity

We have three records I think that could be broken this WC.

Most PK's

Most own goals

Least scoreless draws (directly related to the other two records).

I read somewhere that Neymar spent 14 minutes rolling on the ground this WC

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I dated a girl back in the 80s named Cherry Shiv.

 

[El Floppo]

not the first 5 minutes I was expecting... in a very good way. 

russia committing numbers forward- hopefully they continue like this.

sadly that probably does not break a record :(

I think that was prior to yesterday's match

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Fun match so far.  Sloppy and exciting.

Much like my aforementioned GF from the 80s.

 

[El Floppo]

croatia also moving off the ball better, and moving the ball faster than Spain did.

 

[Slapdash]

Dangerous spot

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

James Woods taking the free kick?

 

[El Floppo]

the most entertaining WC I can remember ever seeing... and yet, Neymar's rolling around is the thing so many people are obsessed with.

[Officer Pete Malloy]

oh ffs

 

[Slapdash]

Gas up the bus

 

[El Floppo]

hfs whatta missile

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Keeper was the first one to know that was a goal.  What a shot.

 

[El Floppo]

Gas up the bus

opposite, IMO. drain the tanks and put it up on blocks

 

[Steve Tasker]

I'm sure there's "scenes" in England as that goal goes in, as the Brits say.

 

[Slapdash]

You at least need it to move side to side

 

[El Floppo]

You at least need it to move side to side

do they though?

 

[Slapdash]

Weak yellow

 

[Steve Tasker]

Is everyone else's feed cutting out, lagging, dropping sound, etc.?  Or is it just my TV?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Yellow my ###

 

[Short Corner]

4 of the 7 Central and South American teams made the quarters.  Home Continent is real.

Truth.  Brazil cashed in big on that advantage.  Wonder when we'll see another quarterfinal win from that squad.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Just you

 

[El Floppo]

lovren really just yelled "#### off" and "#### you" to the ref? 

 

[The Gator]

When you take a rip off rock kush just as Russia score a screamer

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Booooo....crap free kick

 

[Slapdash]

GOOOOOOLLLL

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

YES!

[El Floppo]

just like that!

of course... the bus could be grinding down gears from here on out- but so far they're not just sitting deep. 

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Excellent attack for that goal - great job by Mandzukic picking out his teammate for the header there.  Good.  Now go on and put four more on the Ruskies please.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I will never tire of Mandzukic as a target winger. 

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

usisati ga

[El Floppo]

[Sinn Fein]

Sweden will win.  

Holy ####!  England are through to the Semi-Finals  

Shader-curse strikes again....

 

[gianmarco]

Shader-curse strikes again....

Amazingly I was powerful enough to overcome his curse as the Belgium/Brazil matchup was still awesome.

 

[ChiefD]

Man I hope Croatia scores early so this second half is a gut busting russian vodka attacking fest the rest of the way.
