I’m sort of pissed that Russia got the World Cup and the Olympics.

Thanks Obama.

That strike in the 95th minute was unreal. They went from dead in the water and out of the Cup to right back in the whole thing. It also means we don't get the mindless 0-0 draw between Mexico and Sweden on Wed. They both have to play now. Sweden to fend of the Germans and Mexico so they don't lose the group.

Its just odd given all the shit the German media and fans gave the team for supporting Ozil. Sports can be a real bitch sometimes but that's what makes them awesome.

Sweden beat Mexico 3-nil today so it appears they have moved on anyway. So ridiculous to lose your shit when a player makes a bad play. These things happen. They wouldn't be on the team if they didn't have talent.

Crazy that Germany went out with a whimper like that.

LOL. The world cup lost a lot of it's appeal to me when Germany, Brazil, Spain and England all got beat. This is simply unbelievable for Croatia and surprising for France.

Yeah Scott. Not sure if you watched it but Chile only had 1
scoring chance and it was very early on a US brain fart. After that
It had to be 80% possession for us. When Chile did get the ball it
was just panic time to try and get it over the half line.

Most of all I think some the most decorated US players are in their last World Cup. No doubt, they want to go out on top.

Very cool
Similar to hockey teams who get smothered by a great team
Can't even get the puck out! ….

She's the reigning FIFA player of the year. That talk, pre-tourney, was nonsense. But I do believe you're right. That missed PK probably pissed her off too. That was a bad miss by her standards.

That's exactly what it was like. Chile couldn't even get control of the ball long enough to even try to mount an attack. I actually felt pretty bad for them.
