That's a bad loss for brasil. I thought he was flopping like he normally does.

Don't see Belgium getting a goal after 70 minutes this match. Haven't watched the whole thing but they are just not getting good chances. From my untrained soccer eyes seems like the speed of Argentina is just not giving them space.

It will be so dirty if Costa Rica wins this. Dutch are in total control.

Van Persie has been miserable. I've been wondering why he's still on the field for 50 minutes of game time now. He'd better finish his pk.

Good for the dutch, they deserved to win that game. CR was lucky the game wasn't a 3-0 for the dutch.

Robben goes down like a ton of bricks at the slightest touch, he's such a pansy diving so much.

Germany/Argentina will be a hell of a final.

Robben is the worst. Sucks bc he's an amazing player, but his antics piss me off.

He makes the move past the defender then then flop comes natural. I can't root for that.

I would predict Germany vs Netherlands. I would pick Brazil if Neymar was still healthy.

Ugh. Not sure Yedlin is ready for AS Roma. Hope this isn't another American signing with his heart and not his head higher than his abilities.

But, not a better CB to learn from than Maicon...

I'm not sure he is ready yet, either. They are keeping him in Seattle on loan for now.

Well if there is anyone that is confident enough to trick themselves into thinking they are ready, I believe Yedlin is that guy. Hopefully by 2016 he is getting significant playing time.

If he isn't, Jurgen needs to demand he moves. We cannot have guys not playing for club, yet consistently getting time with the USMNT.

Man, that was a quick change from a reported trial chance with Liverpool for Yedlin.

I wouldn't worry about Yedlin at all. Kid is a future star

Yes....but he needs to go somewhere where hes playing and gaining experience and field time......not riding the bench

They are loaning him out so he continues to play and gains experience. Reading is hard.
