Did anyone predict that we could have a semifinal match with Norway and Switzerland?

Come on England and Switzerland!

Another night of tense drama and horrible nerves.

England 2-1 Norway a.e.t.
Argentina 3-1 Switzerland a.e.t.

15 minutes of football left.

Spain 0-0 Argentina. Argentina down to 10 men and havent had a single shot in 105 minutes so far.

The worst nightmare of football could happen. A shootout win without ever taking a shot at goal.

Please football gods, not this

Thank you football gods. Spain instantly take the lead.

Dont fuck this up.

That third place game was what soccer should be. Not necessarily averaging ten goals per game, but at least that should be a thing now and then.

The 'ship? Oh man. Argentina didn't take a shot in regulation and ended up with no shots on goal. A 1-0 borefest that Argentina could have just as easily won on penalty kicks.

Widen the goal.
