I kept saying Chile didn't want to play for penalties. They looked awful at them.

Exactly my thoughts. Thats what they get for just playing for PKs.

Golden goal was abandoned because when they had it, neither team attacked for fear of giving up a goal on a counter. Now, teams attack more knowing if they give up a goal, they can still tie it up. Before, you had a team like Chile playing for PKs, but Brazil wouldn't even try to end it. Both teams did the same thing.

James is probably the hidden gem of the world cup. This kid is gonna get paid by someone.

Monaco paid about $60 million for him last summer. He'll probably move to a perennial power, but he was hardly unknown.

He's been amazing, though. Most impressive player for sure.

Mexico controlling this match against Netherlands. Don't see them having the finishing power to win it though.

I just wanted to say.... that first James goal from yesterday was fucking magic. Probably my favorite of the tournament.

Tried to tell Classy he was by far their best player...then I remembered it was Classy and stopped after 1 post.

I mean, how can they be winning this match with the savior Javier Hernandez on the bench!!!

Did they miss that penalty for Holland earlier? I thought it looked clean, but didn't see a replay.

I don't like seeing games end like that.

Yes it was a foul, but he baited him and sold it like a bitch. Robben is a great player, but unfortunately one of the best actors in the game.
