Netherlands, Brazil, England, Morocco.

That's right. The Moroccans figure out a way past Portugal.

I'm supposed to root for the Netherlands but the idea of a Brazil/Argentina SF is too delicious.

A Brazil - Argentina Semifinal will be bigger than the World Cup Final

For me to have that chance, I need the Final to be Brazil v England.

Now the patiently waiting for tomorrow.

And Germany still has the most total xG, even without playing a 4th game.

It's better to be lucky than good.

Tournament play is so weird. Over the course of a season, teams regress back to their mean more or less. In 4-7 games? All bets are off.

Morocco has got that Croatia 2018 vibe.

Is it bad that I'm rooting for England to take it all?

Agree. Because the Aggie Football side of things is getting insufferable.

I feel like all the conversation has been about the Argentina v Holland game and this one has been a bit of an afterthought (i.e. assumption that Brazil will take care of Croatia). Anyone else thingk that Croatia can make this more interesting than what people expect?

Landon Donovan is so monotone and boring.

At least he can be quite unlike the female commentator.

I can't express enough how well Oliver handled that half. His player management is superb.

Donovan's commentating is about the worst I've ever heard. If you're looking to take a nap, he's your guy. If you're looking for some energy and excitement, well
I've got a cinderblock in my backyard that's a little more motivated.

Turns out Croatia's midfield is still pretty good.

Croatia's population is smaller than Greater Houston's. Crazy how good they are.

Brazil are getting unnerved. They are starting to leave big gaps and their wingers don't track back leaving a lot of space.

Brazil need help in the midfield. Probably would have brought on Bruno G. or Fred for one of the wingers to help get control

Brazil has been completely unimpressive this game. Starting to commit frustrated fouls. Croatia has looked like the better team most of the game, even athletically.

Brazil plays too much like the NBA. Isolation and let the guy try and beat his man while everyone else watches.
