First half was really bad from the german side, second half was a little bit better and additional time was really dramatic.
but iam glad that they won the game in the end. against france they must be 100% better.
last night was very short, only 3 hours sleep...sucks to be at work today.
Well I didn't expect Algeria to beat Germany, but boy, Germany sucked until extra time. France sucked last night as well, and Brazil have been plainly average too.
Costa Rica to win!

Skykid football intelligence -50 did you even watch the second half?
Yes. I didn't think you did anything remarkable until Robben's beautiful dive won you the game. You're meant to be a far superior team to Mexico - consider that before you start chest beating.
^ That one was horrible. The player knew he'd really hurt the guy immediately, looked incredibly guilty and sheepish right up to and including the stretchering off. That sort of thing can be a career ending move.
I have no English commentary, what happened to the guy - was it a break?
He was rushed to a hospital where it was revealed that his tibia and fibula are broken and will keep him sidelined for a couple of months. Shockingly Matuidi received only yellow card, but raised a lot of protests from football pundits, including Diego Maradona, who called it a worse offence than Luis Suarez's bite. "One must be very impudent not to see that this is worse than what Suarez did. Where is the ball? [The tackle] is criminal,"

Sorry, but after the 1-0 Holland was clearly better. The Mexicans clearly had less stamina in this horrible playing conditions.
It sure was houdini-like escape, but deserved.
Not giving real penalty first when was an obvious one, means more chance of the ref. giving one when it's a dubious second time.
On another note: the swiss play remarkably well against Argentina. love that Shaqiri guy.
Didn't enjoy the quality of the football but the tension was certainly there, and what an outcome .
That the Swiss nearly scored an equalizer in the last minute was the cherry, I felt bad for them .
What a game. Was hoping USA would nick a second, but it was not to be. Amazing drama.
Two days break before the quarters, time to get on with the housework. :3
What a great match! Cheers for the USA! but Belgium deserved to win. I think they'll handle Argentina easily, tbh I think the USA would beat Argentina as well...
