Well looks like Canada's toast, haha.  Going to leave with zero points, I love it, all the media here can choke on that.

Morocco winning Group F is a tad unexpected, but certainly well deserved.

Had me worried, they really let Canada back in the game in 2nd half.  Belgium gone too, although they've played terribly.

Poland advancing pretty much to be cut up by France next round, hah. 

Most likely that's exactly what's going to happen. I guess my only hope is Lewandowski pulling some magic out of his ass.

ドイツのチームが悪いので私はウィアブーなんだか?

Not really rooting for Japan here, just against Germany. Would not really have made a difference if it had been Japan and Germany out. :p

Here's to hoping karma will keep biting them until Manuel 'The Knee' Neuer quits playing. Well, he, and everyone else involved in that ridiculous show at the airport back in 2014. So, the pertinent question now is: Wie gehen die Deutschen?

Spoiler

Don't know, but they're going home for sure.

Why do you say the knee ? And what happened at the airport ?

I think I'll root for France, just want to see Giroud win another WC :lol:

Well, first this very clear yellow card by Higuain, because, uhm, why would it not be:

Well, and apparently it wasn't at the airport, but at the Brandenburg Gate: :p

Classic German behaviour. :shrugz:

I'd say karma is a bitch, but I don't really believe in the concept.

Ahh, ok.  Hey, he got the ball! 😛

Oddly I don't really mind seeing Argentines get knocked about, bunch of irritating **** every WC I watch them in.

Nicola Rizzoli was the referee for the 2014 WC final and the Germany - France semifinal in the Euro 2016, and right before the game the German football commentator was complaining hard about the UEFA putting Rizzoli in charge of the game because "he is for sure going to try and make up for 2014". :p

For stuff as trivial as sports, it's more fun to feed off the misery of the fans as they fail.  Why do you think I still bother with Arsenal ?

US was never going to beat Netherlands.  Australia beating Argentina would be something but that's not happening either, I think.

It's really unpleasant that it's like this, but I am extremely happy that Serbia are out. I'm sure no one at all was surprised when it was the Serbian fans who engaged in racistic chants and it took FIFA ages to react to it.

There will be no acknowledgment of the fan problem in Serbia, of course. It will be someone else's fault, of course. I suppose the same will hold in the Dusan Petkovic case: the former Serbia international, who got into the 2006 WC team thanks to blatant nepotism, was caught in the act of smuggling 115 kilograms of cocaine. Come on! That's for personal use only, one weekend with the boys. No way is he guilty of anything.

Predictably, Poland got their asses handed to them. At least they made it out of groups, so that's something, I guess.

Despite holding a British passport I shall be vehemently allez-ing for les bleus. Good lord the English supporters would be obnoxious if they won; at least everyone else would be obnoxious in a language I can pretend to not understand.
