DeAndre Yedelin.. Never heard of him before, but what a livewire. Fantastic performance from RB!
Wow, USA deserved to have a shot at a penalty shootout.
Credit to both teams, they gave it their all. Tim Howard was definitely the man-of-the-match for me.
Well, I can only pray that Germany demolish France to blitzkrieg on to the Final.

The only consistent teams has been Columbia and maybe France, the rest have been meh.
The earliest Belgium have scored is 78 minutes or something like that in five matches.
In other news the Cameroon Fa have launched an investigation into match fixing from their own team.

Sorry for being negative but I have to get this off my chest, what is the big deal with Tim Howard? Yes he made a record amount of saves but to me it was also a record number of easy saves! I hope someone might agree me or maybe im just harsh. He certainly played well but he still conceded 2 goals

The games were hardly boring. Its just that almost all goalkeepers decided 1/8 phase is a good moment to make performance of a lifetime.

Sure, they all were not fingertip soaring saves. Neither have been Ochoa's, but people are praising him on high.
Howard could have easily fumbled a save right Into the path of origi or Hazard or whoever and sunk USA early on.
Then you must of been watching a different World Cup if you thought the last 16 games were all boring. The only game that was poor was the Argentina win. The others although scoring was low were very fast flowing football. Plenty of goal mouth action.
Germany players hit by flu
Germany coach Joachim Loew has revealed seven of his players are suffering with flu symptoms.
Loew's side face France in the first of the World Cup quarter-finals but without naming the unfortunate players, he revealed most had "throat aches".
"As a result, it's too early to make any final decisions about the line-up," Loew added.
Defender Mat Hummels missed Germany's round of 16 match against Algeria on Monday due to a fever and has suffered a "negative setback" since, according to his manager.

If you think that all the last 16 games were exciting as ****, even though the favourites won every single one of them, the first time this had happened since World Cup became a 32-team format, then feel free to do so.
Even the games weren't as exciting as they seem on paper. Brazil vs Chile were great during the first half, but the second half were so dull I couldn't even bring myself to finish it. Colombia vs Uruguay was good, until Colombia were happy with a 2-0 lead and started playing defense. The quality of play in Costa Rica vs Greece is simply not good enough. France vs Nigeria were a bit dull and predictable, Nigeria threatened a bit, but France never looked like losing the game at all. Germany vs Algeria left me hugely disappointed in the Germans as they are my favourites to win the World Cup. Argentina vs Switzerland is simply a snoozefest.
I am watching the games in the wee hours of the morning though (I live in Australia), that's why I might have different expectations, but I am allowed to have my own opinion too, right?
The first time ever?.. Really? Take and look at the 2010 WC and tell me which underdogs won their Last 16 game. None.
3 results after extra time, 2 from penalties. Hardly a walk in the park for the "favourites". At least we haven't got to witness any boring Spanish 1-0 wins!
