…and that’s why Croatia wanted to take it to PKs.

Brazil has nobody but themselves to blame for how they played the last 5 minutes of extras.

And me with my footballers quality comment.
I jinxed them.

Can’t do that Netherlands…Argentina can make this 2-0!

Now we're talking. I don't know how you can start a bench clearing fight and still be in the game but I'm for it.

Still plenty of time for Messi to get the Gordie Howe hat trick (goal/assist/fight) - especially the way this game is going.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Wow.

 

[CychiatricWard]

This has been pure madness!

 

[cyfanbr]

OH MY GOD

 

[Bigman38]

Great unselfish play for the goal there. What a game.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Not sure I've ever seen anyone kick under the wall on a free kick. Brilliant play.

 

[GTO]

Not a good day for South America.

 

[Drew0311]

Unreal

Another half hour to go? This could turn into Avalanche-Red Wings.

That's why they have a player lay down behind the wall? That being said it got around that guy too

Yeah, this is going to be a mess. No one out there has the legs for ET, it's just going to be a foul fest.

Can you imagine someone taking a swing at Messi? There would be 50,000 Argentineans going full murder mob mode

This tournament has had some damn good drama.

 

[cyfanbr]

Round of 16 was king of boring, but so far these quarterfinals have been absolutely amazing.

 

[cyfanbr]

Personally I want PKs!!! Even better if each team scores another time, 3x3 then PKs. So glad I took today off to just enjoy these games.

Round of 16 also separates the men from the boys, so by this point everyone left should be damn good, so it should be some amazing soccer the rest of the way.

Have you ever heard of Andoni Goikoetxea? He was a public enemy of Argentina in the 80s.... doing something on another player who was playing in Spain too
