Gutsy in PKs and England moves on. They were lucky. Have to be better in the later rounds, but a finals appearance is theirs for the taking.

England wins it. Very strange game. Sweden is next for them.

France up 2-0 with 10 left to play. Looking like the winner of France and Brazil (assuming they advance) will win it all.

Belgium has Brazil in a 2-0 hole in the first half.

Brazil was strong down the stretch, but not strong enough. Belgium & France are one semi.

Re: ***Official Soccer Thread***
Count me in as happy that Brazil is out. As the country with the most World Cup titles, I had not interest in seeing them win another. France vs Brazil probably would've been a great game, though.
Looking forward to seeing who comes out of the other side now. One thing is certain: this will be an all European semifinal.

Re: ***Official Soccer Thread***
So on paper Croatia should advance, right? However, sports teaches us to never discount the home team.

I will grant the Russians have a stirring national anthem.
Anyone else find the irony in the anti-discrimination weekend is in Russia with the Russians "participating?"

Pretty crappy game so far. Low level of play, lack of crispness. I'm guessing the reds are playing for PKs

What a staggering miss for Croatia (59th minute).
