A great article writen in english by someone who understands football:

I hope that too! Go, Uruguay!

I wouldn't say I understand football, but it was interesting reading, indeed. Always nice and refreshing to check the other point of view.

I'm fairly sure that's satire.

Rooting for Uruguay and Croatia now.

Although with Spain out of the tournament, I must confess I have shifted most of my attention to Wimbledon.

That stinks!
Giménez in tears, Uruguay out.
Go Brazil!

Hmm, one down, 3 more to go (it's Belgium, Croatia and England in my case) ;)

edit: to clarify, hoping for above teams to advance to the next round.

Uruguay without Cavani seemed way less dangerous. That unfortunate goalkeeper reaction... Poor guy. Beautiful goal by Varane btw!

Grab your beers and snacks, in 1 hour we will enjoy in the Clash of the Titans! :p

I'm not cheering for anyone anymore (since everyone i cheered for got kicked out xD), i'm just hoping for some nice football and good goals. :)

*eagerly awaits Brazil to be beat into a pulp by Belgium* ;)

Whatever will happen and with all respect to Russians - I just wanted to say I love Croatia and I wish them the trophy :)

I've visited Croatia once and they've won my heart. I believe in their legend about how the world was created and why Croatians lives where they live ;) They are fantastic, valorous nation and I hope they'll prove that tomorrow.

(oops, it's tomorrow)

I'm sure they will read this: Sorry Cavani! Too bad to see you go like that. Suarez, you talk too much.

Croatia has always been impressive. Tomorrow is going to be very interesting.

As far as I understand what is going on - the most spectacular quarter-final should be the one today, between Belgium and Brazil. I hope so!

That actually gave me a headache.

2 down, 2 more to go. (go Croatia and England!)

Croatia is my underdog in this tournament. Let's see if they can make it all the way to the final.

Tough game to call Sweden vs England, wouldn't be surprised if it finishes 0-0 and goes to penalties.
