    "And Brazilian fans have resorted to the wave..."

    That cracked me up.

    You knew that was coming, Brazil has been getting closer and closer to a goal. Belgium looking gassed.

    Maybe I’m shallow but for a World Cup these stadiums seem so small

    I'd love to see another view of that one from the sideline to see if it was actually going to curl down under the crossbar. Still--clutch.

    Neymar should have had a penalty when he was pushed in the back, could have made it 2-2; but he didn't get it because of his reputation. His constant flopping throughout this World Cup has cost his country a shot at ultimate glory.

    Wow, through to the semi-finals for only the third time in history...

    Two words describe the run this England team has had: "workmanlike" and "lucky". But we do appear to have a world class player: Jordan Pickford.

    If England make it to the final, it'll be only the second time this world cup they've faced a higher-ranked team than them. And it might well be the team that rested all its best players and still beat them 1-0 (in a game both teams were trying to lose).

    Just went back and re-watched the 1990 semi-final against (West) Germany. I forgot that their goal was a fluke deflection off Parker. Fuck it, we deserve some luck.
