June 28, 201411 yr I wanted Chile to win that game but I think that Brazil was much better than them. Neymar was incredible today.
June 28, 201411 yr Get in. I want the spectacle of Brazil at the Maracana, which means they'd have to make the final. Worth noting that, with the relative underperformance of the European teams, four years ago there were only three European quarter finalists. They came first, second and third. IIRC at the last World Cup six European teams qualified from the groups (same as this) and played each other, Spain vs. Portugal, Germany vs. England, Netherlands vs. Slovakia.
June 28, 201411 yr Such a tense match earlier, really couldn't call that at all right up until the last penalty, Chile definitely didn't go down with a fight, they should be proud. Brazil were great, but somehow not quite as great as I expected them to be. Their match with Colombia will be a bloodbath.
June 29, 201411 yr Gutted Chile are out! Now supporting Colombia. I think they're a better side than Brazil, but it really depends on whether Neymar is fit or not. Watching the game yesterday, I think the players can raise their game an extra 10% with the crowd support, and Neymar has the makings of being a superstar on Ronaldo/Messi levels.
June 29, 201411 yr Never saw this coming, looks like the Dutch are on their way out, after smashing Spain. oopsy daisy.
June 29, 201411 yr Very disappointed for Mexico, really wanted them to get that win! :( Very dramatic match though at the end there.
June 29, 201411 yr Darn it, knew I should have cashed out my Mexico win bet, got too greedy! Netherlands doing ok though. The heat took it out of them massively today. Wonder if that will effect them in the quarters.
June 29, 201411 yr OMG lol. I was so sure we were going home. So we're in the quarter finals, probably against Costa Rica.
June 29, 201411 yr My heart dropped several times during this game OMG Like we were all screaming yelling and jumping when the 1st goal was scored. I don't care how we won, as long as we win
June 29, 201411 yr Proves that a match is never over until the final whistle! Honestly thought the dutch were out! :o Edited June 29, 201411 yr by Common Sense
June 29, 201411 yr Glad they won, even if that penalty did come courtesy of one of Robben's legendary dives. The timing was stunning!
June 29, 201411 yr Probably should have had one earlier in the game. I really liked both teams and gutted for Mexico but it's great that we'll be seeing more of this Dutch team. I would say that it's lucky with the heat today that their QF opponent will be one of the weakest teams left but try telling Italy that!
