Super cheeky PK's by the Moroccans.

My dark horse survives and advances.

Renaldo sitting on the bench to start......and it pays off for Portugal.

I can't imagine Switzerland not continuing to play hard and probe the defenses of the Portuguese.

Embolo (Swiss player) looks like he could start at running back for some NFL teams.

I think they play better w/out him….more team play n less trying to get to the “star”

Has someone kicked a field goal yet?

Nevermind, I checked. Portugal got two and Switzerland got a PAT. Bummed I missed it.

Portugal got a touchdown, but they missed the extra point.

In response to @mtmiller, first hat trick (3 goals) in a World Cup match this year for the Portuguese surprise starter in today's match.

Europe has 5 teams alive, South America 2 and Africa 1. If anyone has a "home field" advantage, it is Morocco. Pulling for the major underdog Atlas Lions to move on v Portugal Saturday.

Next games will be Friday 9am, 1 pm Eastern broadcast , with the other quarterfinals Saturday 9 am and noon broadcast times (Eastern)
