Brazil 4-1 S. Korea

South Korea pretty much dominated the second half. Brazil got a bit too relaxed, which is undesirable after, you know, four goals.

It is also pretty cool that all players in the roster got to step on the pitch and play during this world cup.
Cameroon sure enjoyed that too .

Morocco over Spain in a shoot-out! I yelled and scared all the cats out of the room again.

I loved that Spain had players called Balde and Fati. Pronounced Baldy and Fatty. Sounded like a pub 5 a side team!

Not sure who had worse penalties, Japan or Spain!

Is Portugal ?? actually the best team in this tournament? Or did today happen just because Switzerland ?? is just a tiny bit weaker than Uruguay ?? and slightly better than the USA ?? ?

Absolutely stunning result! Let’s see which other big names will be going home!

Clearly, all of Croatia's focus is on the World Cup and that is the only reasonable explanation as to why we have no live stream for Golden Spin this year!

I actually like Messi, but I can't really make myself pull for Argentina :sigh: .

I guess I'll just be neutral and disconnected should they win it all.

I’m Brazilian, so it’s basically mandatory that I cheer against Argentina in football.

 

[allezfred]

I almost regret being at skating because the OTT reactions of the Brazilian fans at the matches when they lose is quite entertaining.

Sorry @beepbeep

We’ll meme anything to the moon, the highs and the lows.

People are very upset that they won’t be let off work during matches now.
