Russia always sucked lol
They were easily the weakest in the group coming in...their new coach got outcoached in all the group games and the player selection was questionable.

Any guesses as to why Russia collapsed so badly in Group B? The lost to Slovakia was at least dignified, but the game with Wales was just painful to watch (even though I am not a fan of theirs). It was almost like they just decided to roll over and die.
On a different note, I am surprised England played as well as they did in the qualifying round. They still suck, but they definitely suck a lot less than I was expecting them to.
damn...what a game
props to Croatia for sticking with it
no fuckin idea why Ramos of all fucking people was chosen for the penalty kick
sounds like it'll be ITA vs ESP for the round of 16
it's too soon for this match

First of all, I'm gonna comment on the German vs N.Ireland game.
Yes, the Germans were dominating the game throughout, and yes, they were organized, they had a lot of good plays, they had a lot of chances. Things are looking good -- or at least, they aren't the confused and disorganized bunch that they were in their opening game.
But...! Despite the overwhelming control of the game, and despite their numerous attempts, they have only managed to capitalize a single time. Undoubtedly, the N.Ireland keeper played a phenomenal game. But still, if Germany was on form, the game would easily have been a 6 or 7:0 rout. Muller was clearly both unlucky and off his game. Gotze and Ozil had a LOT of chances that they failed to capitalize on.
Comparatively, N.Ireland is a softer team, and it was OK for Germany to keep trying until they got the job done. But once you're in the elimination round, no opponent is going to give anyone the chance to repeatedly pound them.

What a nail biter that 2nd half was... Dramatic. Dramatic.
Did any of you think the refereeing was a little sloppy, and kind of biased against the Croatian team?
At any rate, with the vast number of yellow cards Croatia has accumulated in the preliminary rounds, they are going to see some very tough times in the elimination round.
Portugal... certainly you cant disappoint me 3 games in a row...... please dont!
They will. Ronaldo will find a way.
I honestly don't know why they aren't scoring. In particular, I don't know why Ronaldo isn't scoring. He last game against Austria was spectacular -- he was everywhere and seemingly doing everything right -- everything right except for putting the ball into the net, that is.
Portugal... certainly you cant disappoint me 3 games in a row...... please dont!
this guy win's the youtube comments

Hungary going tit for tat goals with Portugal and Iceland winning over Austria
what the actual dumpster fire is going on with Austria

Finally have a chance to catch up with some games. But first thing first -- WTF is wrong with the kits in the tournament? England's home kit is arguably the ugliest one I have seen yet. The pale silver blue just doesn't work, and the red socks is a horrible mismatch for the white and blue of the top.
And then there is Portugal's away kit. O.M.F.G. When I just started the game, I had to do a double take at the team names to make sure I was watching the right one! For bloody crying out loud, I thought I was watching Nigeria! If I am not mistaken, I think their home kit's colour is off too, but it wasn't quite as bad as the away kit's colour.
Same goes for Russia's home kit -- I thought I was watching Portugal play. Russia is supposed to be red, with and blue, not burgundy.
Back to the game.
Hungary vs Portugal... Oh my... what an exciting game to watch. I agree with Radioman that C7 is really earning his keep in this game, but at the same time, I wonder if he is hurt after that fall from a leaping header. He was seen massaging and nursing his right thigh near the hip joint after the fall, and since that moment, I can't shake off the impression that he seems to be limping / waddling a bit instead of jogging / running around normally. Plus, a few of his kicks / shots were all off, and his overall behaviour seems a bit different than during the earlier parts of the game. It goes without saying that if Ronaldo is hurt, Portugal is finished.

Have you seen Spain's white kit?
Lol they deserved to lose to Croatia after rolling those out.

LOL~ I didn't watch Spain playing in their away (white) kit, but gosh you're right... I'd have that same expression as the model as well if I were forced to wear it.
Gotta feel for Messi...but he'll be back.
3 losses in a row at international's biggest stages gotta sting tho.
ESP v ITA today...don't think i'm gonna get much work done for the first part of today
