Agreed. Belgium lacked offensive creativity and there were some questionable managerial decisions regarding the timing of substitutes.

Not quite that hot here, but probably a bit more humid. Getting ready to go kayaking tomorrow:

If I could predict stocks like futbol, I would be living like the beard, which I am not. Prediction for finals is : Belgium/England; I really think the extra time games are going to take a toll on Croatia. I actually think any of these four teams to could make it to the finals. This has been an awesome World Cup.

England! Impressive control of the game.

Happy Birthday, Mike!

Happy Birthday, Jose!

Let’s see Hazard, de Bruyne, Lukaku, Kompany, Courtois, Vertonghen and my favorite Fellaini. That is a pretty fuckin’ good team, and they actually play like a team. They have shown the ability to win in many different scenarios in this tournament. The semifinal vs. France will be the final in my opinion.

Happy Birthday, Birgir!

Having used both the 12 inch and 10.5 inch iPad Pro, I went with the 10.5 as the 12 is just not iPad portable. If I really need the extra screen real estate I would just go with my 13 inch MacBook Pro. The 12 inch to me is just too big for typical tablet use. I do use my iPad a lot; My usage; iPad > iPhone >MacBook Pro

Yep Spain lost that game, Russia did not win it. The Denmark/Croatia game was intense. How many times do you see a team lose on PKs when their goalie saves two? That is just insane. I am really looking forward to the Croatia/Russia game, that should be, how do you say, interesting?

Happy Birthday, Greg!

I really like Cavani. He is very underrated and always seems overshadowed by other team mates such as Ibrahimovic previously and now Neymar. The second goal in my opinion was pretty damn good.

Not really an upset. Just glad it was Cavani who was the hero. Classy move by CR7 to help him off the field rather than giving him the finger.

Going with Belgium/France and Croatia/England for semis.

Vive la France! To Argentina: Na, Na, Na, Na .... Na, Na, Na, Na ... Hey, Hey, Hey ... Goodbye ?

Agree with all of the above.

Happy Birthday, Justin!

Agreed on both. Belgium also has a great coach (for that team). I like Martínez even though Everton did not seem to. That was a statement game. I think they may have a real coach.

^^^Exactly. Very happy that Der Manschaft were able to come back. I think Tony Kroos’ free kick was actually more impressive than Ronaldo’s since it was from a much more difficult angle. I am totally spent from that game. I don’t think I said who my pick was for winning the tournament, and this was my pick before it started, and that is .... Belgium.

Go Iceland! Yay!My new favorite team of the tournament. The Iceland goalie is my new hero.

I know. Just using it as a way to announce my disdain for the NRA as an organization.

Never liked, nor been a member of, the NRA, even before they went off the deep end. However, I am adamant that if you own a firearm you need to keep it safely locked away when not in use. There is lots of other stuff locked up in there also.

I like to stay away from Urethane Varnishes
