Missed on Spain and Colombia so far.

Ned - Esp
1 - 1, ET

I missed all of regulation! D’oh!

Looks like a classic!! Enjoy the counter.

Nef knocking on the door

ETA: of course Esp nets one..,

Oh this tourny has so much ebb and flow!

Esp 2 - 1 Ned

Good job Spain! That match looked like a classic in itself.

That leaves:

Jap - Swe
Aus - Fra
Eng - Col

I still think Japan can win it all. It doesn’t get easier from here on out!

This is great stuff!

Did you see the size advantage on the corner??

Swe 1 - 0 Jap

Halftime. The negative splits will start at the whistle. We’ll see how well Japan manages to play from behind.

a reply to: myself

A PK and 2 - nil…

a reply to: TEOTWAWKIAIFF

Oh my!!

Japan rocks a PK off the bar… it never went in!

The negative splits have just gotten harder!!

(Still good stuff!!)

a reply to: some loser

Leaving it late.

Japan pulls back one. Now, the subs, “injuries”, and the clock.

Got to love extra time.

a reply to: irene

Full time!

Japan leaves two off the woodwork. And Sweden is through!

I think all my teams are now out!

The next pair of games are spaced weirdingly in my time zone so I can not see the England match!

Good luck!!

Nils across the board.

Matildas applying pressure and serms only a matter of time.

So y’all, I went home! Overtime had just started.

This morning, I saw that Australia advanced on PKs. Continued with my day.

The replay was perfect! Showed just the main highlights of regulation, then all of OT. Then the PKs!!!

Wow!’ What drama! A miss a save a retake…. that had it all!!

That is WC drama!

And I am going home before midnight (the next two games start too late).

Hello? Is anybody out there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone home?

First Semi

Esp v Swe

Slightly different styles but should be entertaining!

The Sweden counter should be effective. As will be Spains pressure.

*popcorn*

a reply to: TEOTWAWKIAIFF

At the half. Tied at nil.

Past my bedtime, again. Will watch the second half tomorrow before the other semi!!

-peace

I am finally watching the final!!!

What a game!!!

Seriously. The drama doesn’t end. And I think that it is now a fact that SOCCER IS NOT BORING!!!

Mens or women’s. This tournament has had so much drama that it is going to take another four years to figure out!!

And that is why I love this game!!

I hope my enthusiasm has rubbed off on the casual watcher!

Let’s face it, there is a lot more worse things to get into than a simple sport that the whole world embraces!

Thanks ya’ll!!!

See you in 4!!!
