And Neymar Neymars.  What a goal.

The decision to stay up after the defender's shoulder and ability to feint the keeper is quite the double.

This is why you love the game.  This is also why you hate the game.

Wow, how thrilling. Brazil clearly felt that they had it coming to them and the game was over with Neymar's amazing goal. Croatia's attack to score started with Modric and was a picture perfect break. There were two guys at the top of the box ready to hit the shot.

(That said, the replay sort of made it look like the shot, if it hadn't been deflected by a defender, may have been saved.)

Now, I'm torn between liking the Netherlands (I had picked them as a semi-outsider to win it all) versus really wanting Messi to go further than Ronaldo.

Billy would like to know if you've lived in either place or know players on either team.  If not, the decision is made for you.  You cannot root for either team.

Not over yet.

I liked the announcer saying the Dutch forwards would be "looking for sex... sex... second balls"...

If the ref blows his whistle 87 times, that supercedes a yellow.

Horrible officiating.  Totally lost control.

Knowing soccer, the Argentinian probably missed the Netherlands bench.

The ref is so rattled he forgot a coin to toss to start OT.

He might not get back to his hotel room to get his airline ticket home.  If might be delivered between AET periods.

Neither, but I've spent a lot of time in Schipol Airport in Amsterdam.

And I've eaten at Arby's. Is that helpful?

Why don't teams try to score for 90 minutes like they do for the last 2 minutes down by a goal?  Seems like when teams try to score, they actually score.
