WHOA. Japan up 2-0

This would be a HUGE upset if they hold on. (Still lots of time left though)

Belgium IMO is the best team left in the field (more complete & all-rounded)

Good.  Hopefully England loses also, so this trying to lose crap ends.

Plus, it is nice to have it not be Brazil and a bunch of European teams.  Need some variety (and yes I know Uruguay won also).

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing any team win as long as it's not Brazil. Brazil with Neymar are a cocky bunch and that annoys me (you see Neymar's comments after the game today?). Also Neymar acts like he suffers a career ending injury then gets up and acts like nothing happens (like Lebron) LOL. He does it way too often.

Wooooo Japan, good for them.

Hope they hold on now, love to see the upset. I did not expect this after watching the first half, suddenly I check the score and they're up 2!

I don't mind some arrogance, but yeah Neymar is a bit over the top.

I just hate it when Europe dominates.  2014 was a much better mix in the Round of 16 with just 6 European teams (though 4 made the quarters).  This year had a real potential of just Brazil making the quarters, though Uruguay helped that a lot in their game.

Hopefully Japan and Colombia pull it out so that again just 4 European teams are in the quarters.

I thought Spain would win, then they fired their coach, giving me pause, and now they are out.

At this point, I think the Uruguay/France winner is going to win.  They have both looked very good and have a lot of talent and balance.  That said I wouldn't count out Croatia.  They have been consistent and good all tournament.  And who the heck knows with Brazil.  They always have talent and they do keep on winning.
