              shit, someone take Brazil out of the cup please. I guess it's gonna have to be either us or Uruguay. This, or they'll win the cup again…

                So this game went about how I predicted it, even though I'm still sad for Mexico. Belgium is gonna dominate Japan later today and then the quarter final of Brazil vs. Belgium might even be an early final for the World cup winnter already.

                            if this were baseball, i'd be battin' .500!
                            but it ain't, and i'm only 50%. ah well.
                            at least i sorta called upset alert on my 3 misses - that's something I guess!

                              Loved that Japan kept playing football instead of walling up Russian style , they will be missed

                                  That. Was. Incredible! One of the best matches in this World Cup so far, absolute magic! Japan played some wonderful football and Belgium had a momentous comeback. Victory could have smiled to either side, it ended up being Belgium. Congrats to both teams for such a spectacle, I loved every minute of it!

                                      Japan is the champion we need but don't deserve right now.

                                        Hahaha who could've seen that coming! 😄 I mean Belgium did pull through, even if it was by a hair's length. They are gonna have to fight real good against brazil, though, who are the favorites in the quarter final now after belgium's poor showing.

                                        On another note, I'm now 6/6 in my predictions, going for the clean sweep with today's games!

                                            Fra - Arg / I wish both teams could loose here, hate both teams. I guess my resentment for Arg is stronger, though
                                            Por - Uru / Please send CR7 to jail early lol
                                            Spa - Rus / Once again, I wish both teams could loose… In favor of the underdog here
                                            Cro - Den / Obvious one
                                            Bel - Jpn / Obvious one
                                            Bra - Mex / As much as I would like for Mex to win, they don't hold a candle to established teams
                                            Swe - Swi / Sverige! Sverige! Sverige!
                                            Eng - Col / Eng's got this

                                            Don't mind that the two games I described as "obvious one's" were anything but that haha

                                              Now let's see if England can get past a James-less Colombia (feels so bad to not see him play).

                                                    What a shitty match. The best part of the match somehow came after the 90th minute when they finally starte footballing a bit.

                                                    England playing like this will not win against Sweden.

                                                      Germany is out in the preliminaries and England wins a shootout. What timeline is this?

                                                        Colombia didn't exactly cover themselves in glory either.
                                                        Especially with all the gamemanship, cheap fouls and harrassing of the officials.

                                                        What happened to booking players for dissent?
                                                        Several times a huge crowd of Colombia players repeatedly surrounded and screamed at the ref.

                                                        All in all, a tied score for full time was probably fair (despite the fact that England almost held on to their lead).
                                                        After that it was all about the 50/50 chance of penalties, which fell in our favor for once 😄

                                                          Really bad game. Neither of both played good creative football, but I think Colombia was the worst. James absence affected us seriously.

                                                          Congrats to England fans…

                                                            I'm bummed I won't be able to watch the whole match of France vs Uruguay because I have an exam starting one hour before the match. Nietzsche, I love you but you're making me miss the match I looked forward the most…
                                                            Anyway, I should be able to catch up in the second half of the game

                                                              What an absolutely disgraceful match between England and Colombia. So much time wasted, so many fouls, so many complaints to the referee, so much dirty game. All in all, atrocious. The referee should have showed even more cards and sent off some players, I wasted 90 minutes of my life with this crap. I'm glad I missed the extra time, having dinner in peace was way more important than watching any more of this. This fun World Cup did not deserve this kind of show tonight. Ugh. Congrats to England, I guess, they were the least dirty and finally overcame the penalty shoot out trauma.

Unfortunately, I was working during the game and didn't get to see much of it because for some reason it was totally packed today. Gonna watch the highlights after getting my well deserved sleep and will post my quarter final predcitons tmrw as well.

But if there's something praiseworthy, then it's Trippier's deliveries and Kane's display as a whole. After the Euros 2016 I thought Kane was done on the international stage but he came back all the stronger.

                                                                    Onto the next round we move, then!

                                                                    Uruguay vs France honestly? I dunno which one to root for. I enjoy watching France when they click but I'm a huge Suarez fan so… no pick here
                                                                    Brazil vs Belgium It looks like Brazil have finally found their rhythm. Let's see if it keeps rollin'
                                                                    Sweden vs England Kane to the rescue
                                                                    Russia vs Croatia Should be an easy pick, right?

                                                                        Bra - Bel / Again, tough one. Since brazil seems to have found their rhythm I'm going with the Seleção here, I think.
                                                                        Eng - Swe / Sweden cannot score goals and against England, or at least this England, you can't win by just defending.
                                                                        Rus - Cro / Croatia really disappointed me in the last game, so I think Russia will ride the wave they're currently on and advance here.

                                                                        We all float down here!

                                                                                                  but that De Bruyne strike from outside the area was still awesome.

                                                                                                  Courtois did some world saves , easily man of the match
