2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil

Belgium were 4 on 1, why would you end it there?

Anyway, BELGIUM FOR THE WIN! Now let's lay the smack down on Argentina.
 
I'll cheer for Belgium against Argentina, for sure. How about Howard? He had an incredible tournament. Clearly the USA would not have gone on without him.
 
Great game. Let's hope for more of this in the quarter-finals.

France vs Germany
Colombia vs Brazil
Argentina vs Belgium
Netherlands vs Costa Rica

From what we've seen so far, the first three should be very close matches. The last one would of course be expected to be more one-sided, but one never knows ...
 
What a match. This one and USA-Portugal might've been most exciting matches in the World Cup so far. Sad about USA, they showed great fighting spirit.

Now I want Belgium to destroy Argentina. If they play like they did today, Argentina will have a hard time since their goalkeeper is much worse than Tim Howard.
 
Taking what we've seen from these teams so far into account, I want France, Colombia, Belgium and Netherlands to advance.

The first two have huge potential, but I'm worried that Brazil and Germany - two favourites who have been under heavy pressure - will play very cautiously.

With you on that one.
 
Great game!

Not very well played here and there but very entertaining. Belgium was the better side, except this last 15 minutes... They underestimated a little bit the USA, i think, after the second. USA is a team with heart. And Howard did a game to remember.
 
I don't know about Netherlands...How stong are they really. I feel they rely too much on a few players up top, just like Argentina.

Major differences there:

- Netherlands manages to utilize their stars well. Argentina cannot.
- Netherlands' defense is above average. Argentina's defense is below average.
- Netherlands plays strict team football that relies on star power. Argentina plays star football that relies on lousy team football.

By the way, I didn't say these teams were my favorites to advance, I just want these ones to advance.

Netherlands have a coach that actually has a developed tactic and a plan B. Argentina's plan A, plan B, plan C (continue until plan Z) is PASS THE BALL TO MESSI AND PRAY TO GOD HE SAVES US.
 
Those were quite probably the most balanced Eighth-finals in the History of the World Cup.
