Guess it's time for Australia to care about soccer again for a few days! Good for the Socceroos! This team copped a lot of flak in our soccer press for being made up of second-division and A-League players and even I, who doesn't watch soccer, thought that was a little unfair.

There's been quite a few jokes about "at least we don't have to play those cheating diving Italian bastards this time" already this morning but my understanding is that Messi can be quite cheat-diving himself so we still need to watch out!

Now, imagine if FIFA had done the right thing in the bid process way back then...the party in Australia would be unreal!

Canada vs Morocco and we start it off with Canada thinking they’re playing a house league match. Embarrassing, eh?

 

[Buzz]

Oh sh**

 

[quartz]

2 - 0, and not in Canada’s favour. May as well go do my hair and get dressed for work. Eight hours of Christmas Retail Hell seems like a better option than continuing to watch this match. Oof.

 

[Buzz]

I still have hope!

 

[Buzz]

Morocco 2-1 Canada!

 

[quartz]

Missed it! Just came back to watch the last few minutes of the half.

 

[Buzz]

Technically it was an own goal but I’ll take it!

 

[Buzz]

DANG! 3-1!

DISALLOWED!

 

[quartz]

Gotta go to work - will watch the game replay tonight at 8pm. Keep cheering on my behalf, @Buzz!!

 

[Buzz]

Here we go!!! Fingers crossed!

 

[Buzz]

Meanwhile Belgium and Croatia are 0-0

 

[Buzz]

Oh booo! Canada 1-2 Morocco but at least this time we have a couple goals to our name! LOL

 

[Buzz]

Spain 1-0 Japan
Germany 1-0 Costa Rica

 

[Buzz]

Japan up 2-1 over Spain!

Costa Rica 1-1 Germany!

 

[Buzz]

FINAL: Japan 2-1 over Spain and Germany over Costa Rica 4-2

 

[Buzz]

Germany and Belgium are both out of the World Cup!

 

[SHARPIE]

Germany and Belgium are both out of the World Cup!

Insane!

 

[allezfred]

Not even Japan advancing first in their group can make me care about this World Cup…

Same in our house. Between Italy not even qualifying and the lack of true international support in Qatar, we’re just checking scores at this point. I suppose we’d watch these is and finals, but that’s it.

 

[Buzz]

The final 16 have been decided!

 

[Frau Muller]

USA vs Netherlands, ready to rock n roll!
Yeah, it’s my husband taking over the big TV this morning…

SkCanada Sr women final groups come later.

Petition to have Ismail Elfath referee the World Cup final

 

[quartz]

The Dutch are leading 2-0 over the U.S. going into the second half. I never know who to root for when it’s these two.

 

[quartz]

3-1 for Holland with less than ten minutes to go!

I can root forcthe Dutch fog you. I am in Amsterdam, watched the first half in a very crowded and noisy pub. I even happened to have an orange dress on.

This is the first match I have watched so far.

 

[quartz]

I’m liking the Dutch more in this match so have decided the U.S. can go home.

 

[Buzz]

3-1 Netherlands! Congrats to them but I am not sure who to root for now. I want someone who is not from Europe or South America to win but doesn’t seem likely. Not that the US was ever gonna challenge for the title. LOL
