Yep, poor Japan. A great effort though. They should have secured defence when they had the corner kick in the last minute. Short passes, delaying time instead of giving the ball (more or less..) to the goalie.

Belgium's first goal was nothing but luck though. Sometimes you need luck!

Belgium are a better footballing team, no doubt. They've looked fabulous overal. Anyway, it's the mighty Three Lions tomorrow. Come on, England!

Great match with ups and downs on both teams! Interesting to watch as a neutral!

No matter who won the game, it's a pyrrhic victory: the next opponent is Brazi. They know how ta attack.

Oh Dear great match tonight Japan v Belgium, Japan played great but were very naïve. to counter attack at every opportunity. At 2.0 they should have put up the wall and closed shop. However that's football the next thing you will hear is that England could win the World Cup.. Give me a break as a Scot let me give an unbiased view. England are very talented at the back and front. I believe their midfield is their weak link. and that's is where I feel they will come short. If they had a midfield player of the Moderic type then they could go all the way. Anyway good luck to them, it's been a great World Cup so far, long may it continue.

Tonstone, as a Scotsman or lass, please do not feel qualified to judge our marvellous football team. When you produce a worthwhile team, come back at me!

Ooh the fish are biting Obviously touched a raw nerve.I am entitled to an opinion as you are also. I just don't think your team is as marvellous as you think they are nothing more nothing less.

I long to watch the game tonight
At this stage of the tournament, I'd like to see what England is capable of, especially physically.

It seems to me that Croatia has shown less agressivity than during the first round. They looked a bit tired against Denmark, they played less fast.

Good luck to England and Sweden today !

The better team (Switzerland) or the luckier team (Sweden) will win today

I hope Stoneage is still alive

congratulations !
to me it's deserved even if the swedish goal is a lucky one.

it will probably be Sweden vs England in quarter final.

GO ENGLAND!

It won’t be like being IN England in a pub eating a pie,

CA style deli sandwiches and TV on in 1:45 minutes and hopefully —

Hurry Kane, come on, hurry up to score !

Thanks Jpasc95! I don't know how they did it. I did bet against them of course. On rational grounds. I wrote earlier how bad they are. Maybe the worst Swedish team I have seen. And how out of form Emil Forsberg,
who is supposed to be the creative force on midfield, is. How slow Marcus Berg is and how weak the midfield is. Especially Albin Ekdahl. But somehow our coach, Janne Andersson, manages to make a team out of this.
Like he did against Italy in the qualification games. I don't know how he does it. Maybe he's a wizard?

I was wrong, of course, Sweden was better (but still also luckier)

Fish and chips here while enjoying some Colombian... coffee...
I have no dog in this hunt team I am favoring... I am just loving watching the great action

FIFA referee needs some backup.
Even a bullhorn.
Finally a score!

Bloody hell...

UNREAL.. GOOOOOAAALLLLLL for Colombia at 92:30 extra minutes stoppage time... AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!!!

And now over time...

IDK... a lot of goals seem like pure luck...but as the saying goes... The harder one works, the luckier one gets.

Best part of not having team I care too much about is enjoying the game play without chewing off my fingernails (like in other sports when my team is playing, and must win, or be out)(which fun, but can be stressful), plus I am actually digging over time, I am enjoying watching the game play. THIS IS FUN!!

FUTBOL - once I figured out it is 80-85 minutes of foreplay and 5-10 minutes of orgasmic intensity (with overtime being tantric futbol) it made it more fun for me to watch.

wow....you can feel the tension !
it's sweating in my living room.

It smells the perfume of penalties !

The Colombian coach looks like a member of Pink Floyd

Thought England had it with a couple of minutes to go, and also deserved to win .


Second half of extra time now and may the best team win.


Obviously could go either way with penalties.



Come on England.
