Belgium vs Brazil should be fun!
A good last three games for fair play:
1) Denmark loses the shootout after salvaging a tie with the intentional foul in the box
2) Team that lost on purpose to bleeping Honduras to knock the US out of the tournament gets run in the round of 16, just like always
3) Japan's shameful exhibition against Poland got them to this point, but no farther
It's all down to CONMEBOL and UEFA now.

DeBruyne bombing down the middle is a thing of beauty.

What a phenomenal dummy by Lukaku
That was unexpectedly awesome

LOL..there's actually a wiki page for that.

Bummer. Got a work call and missed the game winner.
Do not understand why japan, being undersized like they are, sold out for the corner against the bigger Belgians
Cost them the game

what a match.

Belgium will get demolished by Brazil if they insist on playing the slow back 3 like they did tonight.chjoak said:
Belgium are gonna have to be careful with Willian on the RW. He is just as fast but far more skilled then the Japanese RW. Think Belgium has a stronger squad but Brazil has enough fire power to beat them just off of the RW mismatch.
We no longer say his name 'round here, boy!PatAg said:
eerily reminiscent of our Landon Donovan goal in 2010
(Kidding. Kinda.)
They may not have any other option. With Lukaku's bro out injured they do not have a legit LB on the roster.akm91 said:Belgium will get demolished by Brazil if they insist on playing the slow back 3 like they did tonight.chjoak said:

I think I am 3 out of 6 getting the margin of victory right. 6 for 6 in calling the winner. Looks good for Colombia, and uh, whoever I picked for Switzerland/Sweden

You had Russia over Spain? I'm 5/6 but did not have that one
Hadn't seen this one.
That's hilarious. Layun's still a punk though.
You're probably right. Belgium only has 5 defenders listed on their squad. I guess they don't believe in LB and RB's.
Seriously, **** Mexico. Zusi should have let them burn in 2014, because clearly they would never help us out.
Go look at sofifa.com (fifa ratings). The entire country of Belgium has maybe 1-2 international quality (just barely) LB/LWB. Hands down the weakest position for the entire national pool.
lol epic choke by Japan. The UCLA game thinks that was bad.
LOL @ #2

Some people are convinced he meant to head that first goal in.
That thought never even entered my mind.

My thoughts exactly when they went up. Worst lead in sports.
Uh, okay.NoahAg said:

Belgium is just really good. Props to Japan for getting a 2-0 lead, but Belgium finally started capitalizing on their opportunities.
I don't look at any of Belgium's 3 goals and think, man Japan really choked there. They just got beat by a better team.
To be fair, I think Japan knew they needed to try and win it in the last minute. Given 30 more minutes of play do you think Japan would have won, or even sent it on to pks?gambochaman said:

I admire Japan for "selling out".
damm, i had to sit in a meeting and get chewed out for being late with deliverables that aren't late yet thinking the Belgians would choke like they normally do, only to come back and see i missed all the magic. Going to have to watch the replay tonight when i get home.

i understand wanting to see the entire match (2nd half anyway).
But these 90' in 90" videos they put together for every match are pretty good - not just goals but the big misses/saves too and some other angle replays. Great for the matches I missed.

ok, I think they both choked AND got beat by a better team. Clearly Belgium is/was the better team going in. But losing a 2-0 lead in the final 20 is still a choke. Japan did a terrible job running out the clock.Aston94 said:Uh, okay.NoahAg said:
