this fantastic group of individuals even delved on intellectual and often heated topics such as footie/soccer. The demand for such cultural debate is fresh this season with the Southern Hemisphere providing a whole lunar cycle of daily matches.

the #1 thought:
Spain is out... England is also out if Italy doesn't win the next two games.
Big upsets already, at least Germany is doing good  ;D

Sporting, gg tonight against USA.  Renaldo brought the pain at the very end.  That's why they pay him the big bucks.  He brings it.  First goal by Portugal was funky and we had an odd shot ourselves.  Disappointing for us here in the US not to move forward after this game.  But there is time if we bring our A game.  All-in, it was a great game to watch.  Had much fun.  Not sure Germany is the big bad wolf I thought previously, after watching them play Ghana.  We'll see  :)

Yeah that was a gg, the US did much more to win than our injured team. Ronaldo is in really bad shape, kudos to him for trying but damn it has been nasty. The team is old and it needs fresh new blood. Let's see how it goes today :)

i should take this opportunity to say sorry to soccerman, a few years go i was adamant on the idea that the US cannot compete in football. They are actually not that bad.

If  When we win this World Cup, I'll sure do!

So Germany vs Argentina it is! I'm so glad the Dutchies are out, they didn't deserve to get this far. Robben's dive comes to mind, as well as the close pentaly shots against Costa Rica. THeir goalkeeper + Nejteda were godlike, but sadly didn't win.

Super Mario did it. But the Gif is suboptimal, it doesn't show how he used his chest to stop the ball in front of him

True, I have another one that shows the chip in from Schürrle, but it was on the other computer.  The important thing is that it ended up in the net.
