[Cheeseweasel 26438]

1-4 seems like it sucks...

[PittsburghTiger 6175]

Three saves in PKs. I’ve never seen that

[Longboard Horn 40293]

Japan must commit Seppuku to regain their honor

Yeah, that was ugly af. 

[AUS-97HORN 11756]

that was some pathetic shit there

[alincoln 2371]

Getting very close to the chalk 6 Euro teams plus Brazil and Argentina QFs

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 943]

For how shaky the Croat keep looked during the game, he sure was good during the shootout.  
 

Like a Croat Taffarel.

That I remember I guess

Alexi talking about substation patterns and strategy is something US coach should contemplate 

[Longboard Horn 40293]

Golden Glove front runner as of now: Dominik Livakovic 

[alincoln 2371]

If Brazil, Portugal and Spain win as expected, 7 of the top 9 in the FIFA rankings will make the QFs (Belgium and Italy missing) together with 12 Croatia.

Bummer. I hoped Japan would make it through.

I was too. 

A Brazil v Japan match would be something in the southern cities of Brazil.

Mostly São Paulo…but yeah, would have been interesting. I have a Japanese Brazilian friend who has been living in Japan for the past 10 years or so. When she got there, despite being Japanese and speaking the language, it was quite the culture shock.

[InkaUtexas 25859]

Yep same here. But the Croats are damn good team. Composed and know pressure.

Isn’t Curitiba also fairly Japanese?

Also, my first 6 days in São Paulo back in 2004, I had sushi twice. Then had sushi again a the yacht club on Ilhabela the next week and wondered what the hell the deal was with all of the sushi when at the time I thought that Brazil was simply a beef country. (I learned from Wikipedia.)

[Hank_Hill 18791]

Yea I didn’t know until the wife that Brazil had the highest population of Japanese outside of Japan. Anyway fuck South Korea 

[kingkoopa6 8345]

I didnt either, the KOR player had no idea there was a player going towards the ball. and when he last saw the ball, it was a clear ball.  

[Macklemore 2876]

Glad to see Korea being put away so early. Truth is I only want to see European and South American teams moving forward. Japan and Korea had a nice run for Asia.

[NorthLoop 14181]

Dumbass GK tried to get cute and tipped his hand. Neymar knew exactly where he was going. 

[alincoln 2371]

This is why many of us wanted Uruguay here.  

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Agreed.

[kingkoopa6 8345]

Agreed. Plus he had possession which should count for something.

Mild heartbreak as I like both sides and hate seeing one knocked out so early. That header from Perisic was gorgeous. The shootout ... not so much.

[alincoln 2371]

Tite should bring in Acosta and Moore and to hold onto this lead.

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

Also, Brazil not fucking around. Geebus.

Qual é a pressa?

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Neymar you jackass.

[AUS-97HORN 11756]

3?

Que jogo bonito rapazes!

[alincoln 2371]

Holy shit.  Brazil 1970

[SpiralOut 1813]

That might be the most beautiful sequence I've ever seen right there. 

[Macklemore 2876]

Is Brazil going to score 6 or 7 goals. That’s the only thing up for debate
