The pool play is finished. It’s time for the knockout stage.

No more ties. Now it’s extra time and then penalty kicks.

GO USA!!!

They were both definitely upsetting for me. Germany was one of my backups to USA (with Norway) and Netherlands was my wife’s work pool team. Fun games at least. I’ve never really dedicated much time to watching soccer until this WC, but these guys are pretty tough minus the usual flop. Some dude from Netherlands took a cleat to the head, bled a bunch and got stapled up on the field and kept going. Saw quite a few guys bleed actually so far and just keep going. Good stuff.

Wild day. I got pulled heavily into the World Cup in 2014 by a friend, followed the tournament and watched 20 or so of the games.

The idea at the time was the U.S. wasn't likely to go that far so you adopted another team to follow. My buddy was rooting for the Netherlands and I was rooting for Germany. The Netherlands got 3rd that year and Germany won the whole thing. Germany knocked Brazil (game played in Brazil) out of the semi-final with a score of 7-1, and then beat Argentina in the final. For Germany to just decimate and embarrass powerhouse Brazil to getting beat by Paraguay today. a country 1/12th the size of Germany is an amazing fall.

For both teams to get knocked out today is wild to me.

The US 4-1 win over Paraguay in the group stage looks a little more impressive today.

Bummed about Japan, was looking for them to advance.

Some big drama with shoot outs yesterday, we are definitely in the knock out stage.

Could be worse... at least Germany made it into the WC, consider Italy has missed the last 3 tournaments
