GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLL, Brazil, 105th minute

 

[LaJollaCreek]

BRAZIL, BRAZIL, BRAZIL!!!!!!!!

 

[BobPSU92]

Neymar’s 77th goal for Brazil. Neymar laughs at Pele.

 

[BobPSU92]

It would be worth attending a Brazil match for the women. Holy hell.

Wrong thread???

 

[BobPSU92]

Holy crap! Croatia!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Croatia, in the 116th minute. Wow!!!!!

 

[LaJollaCreek]

Wow, what a match. Brazil got stupid and pushed up.

 

[LionJim]

The wife is out and I’m screaming my head off!

 

[LionJim]

Wow, what a match. Brazil got stupid and pushed up.

Yep. Saw the same thing with Argentina and thought that it might cost them. It’s not rocket science, for God’s sake.

Remember MC vs Real Madrid in the CL final? You never count out Modric.

 

[LionJim]

This match has everything.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

2 minutes stoppage time in the 2nd OT period.

Croatia with a terrible FK near midfield, Brazil takes it, and gets a FK just outside the 18. Off of that, they get a great shot on goal, but the Croatian GK, once again, with a great save.

 

[LaJollaCreek]

Croatia's keeper was insane the other day in PK's....oh the drama.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PKs, here we go

 

[LionJim]

Croatia's keeper was insane the other day in PK's....oh the drama.

Do you consider either team to be “better” in PKs?

 

[BobPSU92]

Alisson plays for Liverpool, but I’d like to see Croatia win.

 

[BobPSU92]

Croatia with the save!

 

[BobPSU92]

Geez. Modric may be older than Sean Clifford.

 

[LaJollaCreek]

The keeper from Croatia is the advantage.

 

[LionJim]

The keeper from Croatia is the advantage.

Quelle surprise.

 

[BobPSU92]

Brazil are out!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Croatia: √ √ √ √
Brazil: X √ √ X

Wow, Brazil is out in the quarterfinals, as Croatia wins 4-2 on PKs.

 

[LionJim]

Modric being carried piggyback around the field! Mindblowing drama.

 

[LaJollaCreek]

What a match, Croatia just never quits. Awesome match. Argentina and Holland....good luck topping that.

 

[LionJim]

You never count out Modric!

 

[LionJim]

Croatia! What a win!

No way Ronaldo starts tomorrow, just saying. Gotta go with Ramos, the hot hand.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Enjoy Netherlands - Argentina. Unfortunately, I have to miss it.

 

[BobPSU92]

No way Ronaldo starts tomorrow, just saying. Gotta go with Ramos, the hot hand.

Hot foot? Hot head?

 

[LionJim]

To some extent, Brazil was unlucky. They created some first-rate chances, but most of the harder shots they took were right at the keeper.

I would have been okay with Brazil winning today. The sportsmanship between the teams was notable.

 

[LaJollaCreek]

What a ball by Messi.....just insane.

 

[LionJim]

What a ball by Messi.....just insane.

I cannot believe Argentina didn’t convert that opportunity, perfectly set up, they manage to screw it up how? Just insane.

PK coming up....I won't shed a tear for Van Gaal. Hopefully Messi converts.

 

[LaJollaCreek]

2-0 Argentina.....Memphis looking like he lost his bite today. Poor dear.
