Holy CRAP.

Did anyone else see the Croatia v. Australia match?

The second half was the most riveting television I've seen in my entire life.

What a game!! The second half was great to watch, close calls for both teams! The elimination round is going to be great! Can't wait!

I would like to say sorry to the Swedish fans out there that your team did not play up to their potential today... the US team did that the whole tournament.

Congrats to Germany for advancing to the next round.

GO ENGLAND!!! I'd like to see you in the finals this year... and really like to see you win...
C
but not as much as I would love to see AUSTRALIA!!

Could you imagine the improbability of it all if Australia went on to win the World Cup? I know it's not likely, but anything is possible in this game, so I say:

AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE! OI, OI, OI!

well i forgot to make my picks for the second round :brick:

thats 2 points down the drain

Actually...

Group Stage (48 matches): 1 point = 48 total points
Round of Sixteen (8 matches): 3 points = 24 total points
Quarterfinals (4 matches): 5 points = 20 total points
Semifinals (2 matches): 7 points = 14 total points
Consolation/Third Place (1 match): 5 points = 5 total points
Final (1 match): 9 points = 9 total points

So that would be 6 points down the drain... sorry.

Okay, what was with that ref in the Portugal/Netherlands match? He totally lost control of everything. I was surprised we didn't see an outright brawl start out on the pitch the way things were going. And though I picked and was rooting for Netherlands, I was okay with Portugal going through, but now they won't have a good a chance at making it to the next round. Two players out due to Red Cards and Christiano Ronaldo may be out with an injury. If England finally gets on the ball and plays as well as they can, I don't think Portugal will advance. Even though I'm pulling for England, I would prefer they beat a full strength Portugal to make it through rather then a diminished team.

I thought there were only 3 red cards, was there one I missed? I know of two for Portugal and one for Netherlands...

2 times 2 x yellow = red, for Netherlands

1 time 2 x yellow = red, for Portugal
1 time 1 x red (direct) for Portugal...

Don't ask me when... and how...
I watched this "game" but I'm not that interested in soccer... and heard the reporter summerize the cards...

:D

A PK IN THE 93RD MINUTE?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

I feel so sorry for the Aussie goalie.

Goodbye Australia. Nice hustle.

That really annoyed me. I was looking forward to the extra time and the Aussies having a chance to move on. Oh, well... at least they survived to this round, and at least England is still in it.
