Can we bring back James and the Colombians and boot out Yawngentina? They've won each game by 1 goal so far. It's like Spain in 2010 except less convincing, and being led by none other than Frodo Baggins.
 
Sorry Belgians, but did you really think you had a chance against Argentina ?

I mean sorry but one team is freaking Argentina the other.....Belgium

Argentina didn't look too hot in the games before (but so did Belgium to be fair) and after the group phase any upset was imaginable.
 
Also, I just want to say no matter what the result is, no one's ever making me or any tico forget one second of how this cup went down for us. The legend of the tico team that reached the quarter finals and dared to go beyond shall live on forever, and years from now, when I have kids and they ask me why I like soccer which is kind of a shitty sport and involves a fair amount of luck and that's boring, I shall answer with only two words: Brazil 2014.

We gon win this shit.
 
Getting a lucky goal off a rebound and then just stalling the other 82 minutes?

Call me unconvinced on calling this a good/earned win.

Ball might have come to him by luck, still takes skill to react that fast and make the shot.
 
As a fan of positive, attacking football the last few matches have been very disappointing. Most of the attacking teams lost to the conservative ones.

RIP
Chili
Colombia
France
Belgium

The teams that are left all play reactive football. Well, Germany sometimes plays some good attacking football.

Higuain hit the cross bar, Messis 1v1 was saved, Belgium didn't even have one good chance, I'd say argentina thoroughly dominated and deserved it.
 
how did hazard just disappeared into thin air? i mean argentina defenders and gk are terrible and yet hazard didnt even do anything of note.
 
Hope our boys can earn back some goodwill in the game tonight. Channel that Spain-match.

Robben has something to make up for. Hope the team plays solid and won't have to resort to flop-tactics.


good luck Costa Rica GAF !
 
Oh and I wanted Belgium to win but to argue that goal was luck is madness. I'd like to see how you react to an unexpected ball coming your way on your way to the penalty box. I doubt your reaction would involve expertly stopping the ball and immediately taking a breathtaking shot. That's soccer, that's how it's played and that's how you win. You take advantage of every single thing that happens. It's like you guys have never watched a game.

Ugh...that "It's just luck" bullshit again. I'd prefer a hundred pages of bald eagle pictures and CONCACAF talk to that crap.
No matter the situation, when you say that you just sound like a sore loser.

Hopefully he'll get a penalty when he gets kicked twice this time.

Argentina, we'll see you in the semi's.

Remember Bergkamp? Van Persie's better.

Seriously though, may the best team win. I know the odds are against us, but this team has beaten all odds time and time again, and as a tico I have no option but to blindly cheer for them after they've proven so many wrong this WC. I salute you, HollandGAF. If you beat us, I expect nothing but for you to go on and win the cup. And I'm glad I got to share this magical world cup with you GAF. <3
Have a good game my friend. We're fully aware of the Ticos and their fantastic run. If you beat us, here's hoping you beat Messi.

Anyway, here's hoping we'll get the chance ourselves :)
 
Still hoping for a Brazil x Argentina final, but i'm a little afraid about what will happen in the crowd after the match

Mainly the stalling was a big negative. Both teams played rather ok but not impressive at all. Belgium had quite a few chances as well but was offside a lot. I'm not calling it a lucky win either.
