This German team just was not lethal in the box like it usually is....kudos to South Korea for playing honorably

Quite a Cup so far....

watching the highlights from Mex v Swe
that third 'own goal' that Álvarez made

why is that not a hand ball?

brazil is playing sloppy.  constantly having their pockets picked.  low cohesion.

because he hand-balled it into the net.  changing the call to a penalty kick would have benefitted the mexicans, which wouldn't make sense... they were the ones in the wrong.

But for Marcos Rojo, all the Nazi's would have been out before the knockout stage....
 
lolololololol...

we're both going to hell.

They water the pitch right before the game and at halftime to slow the ball down (more accurate passing).  That Pole is warming up around the sprinklers....

Japan hasn't been this boldly arrogant since Dec 7, 1941, and we all know how that turned out...

FTFY

Not sure what he was thinking though.  Beat Japan and you get Brazil-Mexico winner.  Draw this match and you face a James-less Colombia and then Sweden-Switzerland winner to the Semi's.
