The difference in the players speed was surprising, Paraguay has good players; a lot of them play in the premier league so they might be super tired.

Still great game !

Brasil - morocco today!! Lets go!!

I spent too much time working outside in the heat and the sun today, so I just came in to the air-conditioning and enjoy this Japan/Netherlands game. Hope it’s a good one.

yeah, i was rooting for Japan and they deserved it, so very happy.

Pleasantly surprised with Côte d'Ivoire so far. Ecuador is basically waiting for a tie match, something their argentinian coach knows how to do.

An American doing yard work then watching a football match is a guaranteed nap.

happy for CIV

were all those Ecuador fans paying $800+ per ticket?

I just checked TM and cheapest in PHI for France v. Iraq is $1000 for nosebleeds

Interesting that Ecuador lost. They are a good team but i blame the defensiveness of the coach, that dude is mostly scared. Also they got back luck with those two shots
