    BTW, i just want to say I've been watching all these games on Telemundo on Peacock and have absolutely LOVED the commentary in Spanish. If you guys are watching the amateur hour on Fox, y'all are missing out.

    Also shocked at how much Spanish I still remember after taking it for four years in HS.

    brazil & argentina getting knocked out in the span of few hours would be something

    holland really made them look foolish with the second goal

    NED can’t wait for the whistle to get to a shootout after this.

    Come on you Argies. An all-Euro (sorry Morocco, but I don't see it) semis would be boring.

    not impossible

    france & portugal have been two best teams in the tournament so far, both teams have a lot of individual quality and both teams play really good football, any outcome wouldnt be surprise

    argentina & croatia are not at the same level as these teams when it comes to the individual quality, but in terms of team play, both are really good and will have a chance in the final, although odds will be against either team

    4 years ago, france-croatia were in the final, it could be the same this year

    England is just going to spoil everything for everyone, eliminating Mbappe, Ronaldo, and Messi in consecutive matches.

    They should just keep on adding extra times, taking one player off every ten minutes, starting with the goalkeepers. What happened to that "golden goal" experiment? Wasn't that a couple of World Cups ago?
