France vs England is to me the tightest game of the 1/4 finals.

it's 50/50, each team can do it and it might get up to the penalty session.

Come on France !!

Well, if it reaches penalties, you may as well start celebrating!

oh no, I'm not sure of anything !
I don't even know if I will watch the game.

Looks damn exciting. Very interesting quarter finals, all of them.

It looks like the power of Brazil is a bit over-rated. I've seen that many times before. The first half against Koreans was truely amazing, but I don't think the team is really tested, especially their defence, in this tournament so far. Today they will. Croatia is a tough team, damn hard to beat, and I don't think anyone will want to go penalties against them. I wouldn't be that surprised if, like I predicted some pages ago, the tournament of Brazil ends here... (a football romantic and a fan of o jogo bonito in me wouldn't like that to happen, though).

My guess is that Argentina will win; not because of Messi. The the Dutch just have a weak team.

Let's hope the Dutch get wings and Argentinians have bad day

Indeed. We can come an end.

1978 - Mario Kempes.

I'd like to see Croatia take down Brazil today too. But I don't think Croatia is skilled enough to beat them if they happen to fall behind. Some how Croatia needs at least a two goal lead on Brazil for that to happen.

I think the dark horse in the tournament is Morocco. If Morocco plays defense like they did against Spain, Portugal is in trouble.

I shall be watching thru my fingers... Gnnnngn!

COME ON, ENGLAND!

Neymar saves Brazil...for the moment.

Neymar gives Brazil the 1-0 lead just moments before the whistle in the first half of extra time. Croatia needs to take shots on goal instead of set up passing plays when they're in the box. They have very little offense.

Is it my tv or does Fox having audio outages again? This has been ongoing for the tournament.

Croatia ties it up at 1-1 with four minutes left!

Petkovic gets the goal and a yellow card for taking off his shirt.

let's go to penalties !

Send the Brazilians home baby!!! Croatia wins in PK's!

incredible, one of the favourites is pushed out !

Croatia wants to go to the final and is likely to do it.

Nice call you hit it spot on.

Well deserved for Croatia, always had a soft spot for them

__________________________

I liked the Dutch team when Robben and Van Persie were playing. I don't recognize this team now.

Against all the odds, Croatia are through to the semi finals.

Well done to them.

Molina from a beautiful pass by Messi gives Argentina the first goal of the game and the 1-0 lead.

Wow. Just wow.

I know. But with that result I lost the interest. Football lost. The lover of beautiful football in me died. I predict a long time ago that Argentina will win, and these games will be remembered as Messi's games. That will happen, but personally I couldn't care less. Bloody games. For a moment I believed in the beauty of the game. Now it is just up to nationalism. Who is rooting for some team or not. I'm out.

yes we can say wow !
what a game !

who's gonna win ? I really don't know.
Everything is possible

It smells like the penalty session.

The Netherlands tie the game at 2-2 in the 11' of extra time off a beautiful free kick roll set play. Very chippy and lots of pushing and shoving.

Argentina wins in penalty kicks!!!

Penalties Central over here!

A World Cup record 17 yellow cards were handed out in the Argentina/Netherlands match.
