France 1-0 victory on a sweet set piece header.   French goalie made a superb save in first half.  Both goalies played well.  Belgium was pushing late, but not to be.  I predicted France 2-1.  I was expecting more goals.  

France had a lot of opportunities.  They should've scored at least 2(Really 3+)

True but he didn’t fake that hand in his face and that wasn’t inadvertent.  He should have received a yellow for  diving earlier in the game though.  That’s the only way to handle the shenanigans.  

Brazil had plenty of chances for the equalizer and of course their own goal and a brilliant Belgium rush put them down 2-0.  But if “the boy who cried wolf” was the deciding factor (non call) for a World Cup quarterfinal match... pretty lame.  

Horrible call.  FIFA World Cup Refs are suppose to be the best of the best, but with so much corruption, you have to wonder each bad call if it was human error or something else.

Fifa is so annoying.  They block all these people's amazing clips/highlights for their teams then create complete worthless garbage themselves.    If you're going to block all that history from being seen, you at least have a responsibility that your version isn't complete utter shit.

The extra time 30 min was fun.  If only after that they continued with next goal wins.  Should drop the extra time halves to 10 min each and then switch to next goal wins with short intermissions between switching sides.  

The pk shootout endings are thrilling, but the NHL imo does it right between regular season and playoffs.  An event played every 4 years to have a finish altered by normal rules of play just seems odd.  I realize NHL has lines and commercial breaks, but anyone who follows soccer knows there are breaks in play and that not all the players are running at full speed or even jogging at all times.  Hockey goalies play on, so can soccer goalies. :)

In case anyone taped Wimbledon tennis,  back out quickly!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OK, that should be enough space lol.   Federer lost in the quarterfinals today in a 5 set battle.   5th set, no tiebreaker at Wimbledon.  Play on and win by 2 games (see Isner's crazy 5th set info on Google from years back).   That's the right way.  This one ended 13-11.  In tennis, one major of the four features 5th set tiebreakers and the lone one unfortunately is the US Open.    Keep the same rules.
