    There you go, @Rastapopoulos--wasn't that better than just a boring old 1-0 regulation win?

    The correct pronunciation is "Ing-er-lund!"

    Now I have to go back in time and actually watch it, because I couldn't do it in real time.

    You realize this is the first sign of the apocalypse, right?

    Good for the brits, if they had to play tomorrow they’d lose again though.

    Sweden vs. England is going to be an ugly 0-0 and go to penalties, calling it now.

    Feel bad for Uribe - he nearly hit the goal of the tournament to force the corner.

    So which team has the best chance to win the 2018 World Cup?

    Brazil 11-4
    France 4-1
    Belgium 4-1
    England 4-1
    Croatia 13-2
    Uruguay 14-1
    Russia 18-1
    Sweden 25-1

    England has a pretty clear path to the final. I really hope they make it. It would be really difficult for them to beat Brazil though. Maybe France will take them out in the semis?

    Was hoping for something like this, but certainly didn't see it coming. Hope the Belgians can keep it up through the second half.

    As an aside, really enjoy hearing a local guy doing the broadcast. I remembered John Strong from Canzano's radio show back in the day; I didn't realize that he had made it to the top of the heap in terms of American soccer broadcasting.
