Sorry, I should've added more after my earlier post ... I was watching live and that was all I could say after Caballero's howler.
Poor Leo. ARG as a country must have at least 11 world-class players but they can't seem to come together like a team. Aguero disappears. Otomendi omg wtf. Pep must wonder if they're the same players.
Croatia looked like a club team that plays together all the time, esp on defense. Lovren continuing to play well after it looked like he was gonna be laughed out Liverpool a few months ago. Croatia could go far.
Costa Rica stayed tied until extra time..after watching Argentina yesterday and Brazil today, wow! Either Brazil is really really fast or Argentina is really really slow.
Iceland-Nigeria on deck!
Kroos looking way too casual with his giveaway and lack of energy to compensate for it.
Second half should at least be exciting with Germany pressing for some offense.
Whoop whoop! Germany's never say die attitude comes through again!
Kroos makes up for his earlier misplay, well done!
Helluva week coming up! Every day has meaningful action.
Hard to believe that Brazil, Germany, and Argentina are all vulnerable.
My sleeper pick is Nigeria. They're feeling it now and have real quality, and it's going to be awful for Messi but Argentina don't deserve anything better this year. Imagine if Ronaldo goes out too against Iran tomm, which could realistically happen -- Iran has momentum too.
But the biggest shocker IMO would be Australia. They started out looking so bad, but they could pull it off.
^^^^ LOL! I have never seen a bigger bunch of fakers and cry babies then I have in watching the world cup soccer matches. Every time they "fake" being hurt they should be yellow carded!
I get it to some degree that it might be worse than it appears. I know how bad it hurts to crack my shin on a chair or twist my ankle. Having spiked shoes stomp on the top of a foot can’t be pleasant either. But some of these flailings are a little over the top.
I can’t recall which game it was early in this years cup, but one guy went down and laid on the ground for a while. Stopped play to help him up. And then literally within 30 seconds of the play resuming, the guy blasts a goal with a hard kick from about 18 yards out. Really? Haha!
All I know is I need to get my hands on a bottle of that magical spray the trainers use on an injured player.
It's amazing how it cures all injuries. Lol
Wow what a game (both)! How likely was that to end both games. Spain and Iran score to put Spain thru as #1.
I do not like this VAR replay one bit. Just my two cents
Also, I wonder what the odds of Luis Suarez biting an opposing player at this World Cup are. I'm being serious...

More Argentina goodness to follow this World Cup.....

KOR gave them the lifeline. Germany finish 4th in group. Who saw that coming?
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:4th of last 5 defending champs sent home in group stage....
Does anyone know her name?
Quoted from Bork:Messi and Argentina for the win.
Right on brother!
Great finish on the Croatia & Denmark game! My favorite part of all this is the shots of the fans, boy are they passionate about the game.
I really like the head referee Malang Diedhiou's style of officiating. He's not afraid to let the players go rough and tumble and seems to have a keen eye for floppers.
Quoted from gambit3113:Those are 3 Croatians.
You pass the tests. 1) to see if anyone is actually reading this thread and 2) I’d anyone truly follows the World Cup teams/fans themselves!
Here are the 3 for Belgium’s 3 goals.

Worksop
Well we're through to the quarter finals but I don't think I can take another match like that!!
When Henderson missed the penalty I thought we were out for sure. We have 1 out of 7 wins previously when games have gone to penalties 
COME ON ENGLAND!!!!

My father is from Bristol, England. It brings a smile to my face to see that he finally has something to cheer about when watching the World Cup.
