Nice save by the Belgium goalie. Need a goal now.

 

[Mumbai1986]

Lukaku...You scored that against the US!

If the Netherlands win, it will be a rematch of the 1998 Quarterfinal between The Dutch and the Argentinians. That game was great.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........

 

[enisthemenace]

Yeah. This game sucks, and is a prime example of why people hate soccer.

 

[Stormwarning]

5 total shots in the first half. If that's not excitement, I don't know what is.

 

[enisthemenace]

That was a foul. Costa Rica should be up 1-0 right now.

 

[enisthemenace]

Wow. How did they not score there???

 

[enisthemenace]

The Dutch are going to be kicking themselves if they let this go to PKs.

 

[BigJCy]

Dutch have had many chances but still nothing. Also just 1 goal in over 2 games today thus far.

 

[enisthemenace]

Robben is my new, least favorite player.

 

[enisthemenace]

What a chance from Costa Rica there.

 

[enisthemenace]

Interesting move by the Dutch. Swapping goalies for the shoot out.

 

[TRZA]

This is gonna work out like that brazilian song Tico-Tico No Fuba.

What an amazing call by the manager, I think Krul went the right way every time if I"m not mistaken.

Yeah, I don't know that I've ever seen a keeper subbed in right before a shootout before.

Surely someone else besides me is watching this match, right?

 

[pulse]

Oh yeah. Muller wide open.

I'm following the live blog for the first half and watching the second.

Germany is already up 1-0 on Muller's 10th World Cup goal. he's 24 years old and 2/3 of the way to the record.

I was also going to look up the most WC games played. Muller will be at 14 after this cup, and easily could play in 2 more cups.

I wonder how easily Germany would have killed us if they had tried hard throughout the whole match. The Germans are already up 2-0 on the host nation.
