Neither team wants to score apparently
Omg
So much choking all of a sudden.
Gig ‘Em Baby!
Being slightly brushed by another player causes these players to fall to the ground like Willem Dafoe getting shot at the end of Platoon.

If Argentina hadn't looked so vulnerable the last 2 games, I would have suggested that they just declare that both of these teams lose.

Ok. Here's my VAR change.
If they are going to use VAR to call fouls like we saw that took away the goal from Egypt, then I want to see VAR used after the fact to catch people diving.
VAR should flag it for review at the next stoppage.

And 30 seconds later he's back up and running like the flash.

Everybody in the stands is like
This game sux
This game sux
Gig ‘Em Baby!
brutal
Wow!
Murat Yakin looks like he has 200 kilos of colombian bam-bam ready for the plane flight.
This was the most predictable scoreless draw ever. Both teams are really solid at the back.
Swiss up 2-1 on kicks after two each.

I hope this goes over 10 shooters per side
that's so bad, tah 2.0
Wtf lol
Airmailed that one
swiss gonna take this
Why they go high. I never know.
Gig ‘Em Baby!
Penalty kicks really show clearly that being a professional soccer player, does not require a room temperature IQ.
Great save from Swiss. But don't kick the ball waist high.

too easy
Swiss have chance to win with last kick.
Switzerland wins.

Wow. Exciting PKs.
Heartbreak for Columbia.
Heartbreak for Columbia.
Argentina getting a pretty darn easy walk so far even though they keep trying to make it not easy

After this world cup, I feel like any team taking kicks from the spot should limit their players to:
Driven at the low left post.
Driven at the low right post.
Driven right down the middle.
Everything else feels like nonsense that either gets saved or shanked.
If Colombia had a striker, this game would not have been close. Swiss aren't good.
That should hold after, before, during, whenever. Pick your spot and just avoid making your run-up from having an easy tell. But keep the thing down and don't try to scrape paint off the post either
And then there were 8 teams and 8 games left
If I was manager, it's simple. If you stutter step, you don't get to take PKs. If you want to get cutesy, sit on the bench.
Just get up there and blast it. Pick one of four corners, preferably the two low corners.
I'd also encourage my goalies to quit guessing. Trust your instincts and skills. React to the ball.

the swiss are definitely the most out of place team in that final 8. good for them
First QF for the Swiss since 1954.
Really wanted a Colombia/Argentina quarterfinal. None of these matchups excite me at all.
