I told you!!! They should have been more conservative. Do anything to go through instead of pleasing the crowd.

lol so... when they are down 0-1 they only play defense and when they are up 2-0 they only play offense. lmao

Don't you feel a little bit responsible that they lost?! Maybe the coach read your post the other day and it had an impact on the strategy?????

lol This is why soccer is the most popular sports in the world. Underdog has a legit chance to beat good teams. just like korea beating germany. It barely happens in basketball.

Hope England wins. They finally have some decent team you can support.

Yup, I've been saying this. England has a new feel this time round. All new players with never say die attitude. No more prima donnas like Rooney and Beckham and Terry. Just young guys that play hard and smart.

Denmark was good: well-coached, very organized, knew their limitations. One of the best defenses in the WC so far. But they were very limited offensively and made the games ugly to fit their play style. Never took chances, almost playing not to lose instead of playing to win. Eriksen was a shadow of himself. I mean, good for them for qualifying to this round but it was a brand of football which was hard to root for. Croatia on the other hand is a very good team (not great) and at least they try. They deserved to win this match.

Not agreeing with you here. Denmark played much better in second half then Croatia and deserved to win it way more than Croatians ( they did great in group games but were mostly playing like crap vs Denmark)... I was disappointed Hareide played Cornelius instead of Sisto, Sisto can create and make goal situations out of nowhere like vs Ireland in qualifiers, so despite not playing very well in tournament I would still play him just for that reason - all it takes is one moment.... Cornelius is just a big body upfront who sometimes may score a header or finish a decent cross and he was mostly invisible.
I agree that Eriksen did not have a good tournament... spending most of the time 3 weeks before the tourney with pregnant wife and rejoining teams training camp right after birth of his first son left him emotionally drained and not 100% focused on football I guess.
I will cheer for Croatians to eliminate Russia for sure though... what Russia showed vs Spain is an anti football and it needs to be eliminated.
 
I'm wondering if England will choke. They are the better team now but historically they underachieve and meltdown in big moments. Colombia not looking good so far.

Yup, we disagree. Croatia played poorly because Denmark was effective in neutralizing their playmakers. Very disciplined team but lacked ideas when attacking and I felt weren't hungry enough. No risks taken on attack (which is maybe why they are effective at defending and keeping low scores). Croatia played like crap but at least they tried and created a few opportunities (including a missed penalty in extra time).

Russia sucks big time and I hope they are eliminated. Spain was disappointing though. They lacked creativity and sense of urgency.
 
If I was a referrie I would not tolerate this behavior by Colombians. Give a red card, kick one of them out that will teach them to respect the game and the official. Just disgraceful behavior.
