Regardless of which city, I find it humorous that at a match between the Netherlands and Morocco in Mexico they are playing Survivor and John Denver during breaks...Mexico has plenty of good music to use....

So in the last 48 hours we've had a match where both teams scored in added time, then two knockout matches where a team scored in stoppage time then two games decided by penalty kicks.

Soccer is so boring.

An own goal for a penalty kick....
That was the wildest shootout I've ever seen

The curse of the Western Hemisphere on Euro teams continues. Wow.

An own goal for a penalty kick....

Um, actually there’s no own goals in a penalty shootout, only successful and unsuccessful attempts.

*pushes glasses up*

Dammit NED.

For extra time in the knockout, go to 9 x 9 in the 2nd 15. Watch Euro heads explode on that change and I'm all for it.

The Nazi fugitive country defeated the OG Nazis. Me encanta. Onward, Paraguay.
