Imagine if we had won and we had to play Argentina after that?!

 

[Raikkonen]

didn't see the game

did brazil deserve to win? Croatia?

 

[ChaosLord]

Brazil out. Now lets get rid of Argentina and we'll actually have an interesting WC on our hands.

Not really….

Brazil out. Now lets get rid of Argentina and we'll actually have an interesting WC on our hands.

I dunno….seeing Messi in a Final against say France…..would be pretty sick. England also, or imagine a Ronaldo vs Messi final……some great options….

 

[ChaosLord]

With Brazil out, all 6 remaining teams are going to play just a little bit harder.
They can sense a real opportunity...

Ahhhh if you watched the shootout, he handed the ball to Modric after his shot with a great big friendly grin. Makes more sense to me now….

 

[Ajax1995]

I was watching the game thinking the same thing. I was like ‘who’s this guy play for? Celtic, not for much longer…’

Go Holland!

Both games today have been whack

My God that was cheeky

Reminded me a lot of the play that the US almost scored against Belgium to tie it up in 2014. Fast forward to 1:35 of the video.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Fantastic day of soccer.

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

Fantastic day of soccer.

Imagine not loving the World Cup. Couldn’t be me.

 

[ChaosLord]

Now go England.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I am salivating at the prospect of an Argentina-England semi-final. Can you imagine the world,
wide ratings for that game? The Hand of God game in 1986, the David Beckham-Red Card game in 1998,
(not to mention a little war between these two in the 1980s over some island with a lot of penguins),
the history between these two is rich and storied.

So go England.

Umm…it’s Argentina/Croatia in one Semi…..now a Final would be sick….
