Took care of some “business “ while watching the matches on my phone this morningBye bye to heavyweights Belgium and Uruguay.
The Ghanaians rejoiced in defeat to Uruguay as they did just enough to keep the South Americans in third and out of the knockout rounds. (Remembering Luis Suarez handball and the resulting missed PK that kept Ghana from advancing in 2010)

You folks are crazy. The only good thing that ever happened in a world cup...
France tossing in a white flag to end it via a red card. So funny.

Boy that didn't go well.
We need a real striker... oh, and better D

The Netherlands finished when presented/manufacturing a quality opportunity. USA did not, although we had more than 3 more entries into the final third.
After the first goal, we played like we needed to equalize in the next two minutes, and left ourselves open to some beautiful give and go's to proceed into the danger zones, with superb movement of the other attackers to find the space to finish.
I will continue to watch the rest of the tournament, with great interest but with less enthusiasm.

Agreed, 2 goals in 4 games just doesn’t cut it
USA typically played good D, those goals where all defense lazy breakdowns. First especially, scorer ran right past Dest who just jogged back, big opoops. Other 2 were just not.marking goal side.
Biggest issue all 4 games is lack of a pure goal scorer. To many quality chances not scores
They have some impressive youngsters, Aronson for one

HUP HUP Holland, bittersweet with USA being eliminated, however my family has direct ties to Holland, our motherland. Born in Holland, MI IYKYK
France v Senegal early game today. France has blinding speed on the pitch.
England v Senegal later game. England should rule the air.
Style sometimes makes the match.
Fascinating to hear the different stadiums noises. After a little bit of study, I think one could pick out which teams are playing, just from the supporters reactions.
