I sure wouldn't have picked schwansteiger and Müller as two to miss their kicks.

I don't think Germany has ever lost a shootout.

The officiating sure has sucked, both in Copa America and Euro2016.
But I'm glad Germany advanced!!!!
Go Iceland!!!!

I actually thought Italy had momentum a couple times and created some good opportunities
but couldn't finish. Germany's defense was impressive. Gomez' pass on the goal was a thing
of beauty although in general he didn't impress.

GO ISLAND!

Thank you, I won't bet the farm, especially as I am cynical about Island getting a fair shake
by the refs. They certainly played cleanly against England but they played hard and that
may not play tomorrow. I thought the Hungarian was pretty good today; a couple of
ticky tacks but maybe if the Ites weren't so dramatic they wouldn't see so much yellow?

Quelle dommage. Not sure the second half will be worth watching.
France-Deutschland sure will be.

Even though it was 4-0 at the half, Iceland played well,
they didn't quite like Mexico. They came out and scored
two goals in the second half, and Giroud scored a second. . .
Final 5-2.
Go Deutschland! Go Wales!!!

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

I don't get it. Yesterday all I was able to find were some really sh!tty
streams. Today I have France 1 and it is LOOKING TRES BON! It doesn't
get any better. Aussi, the color man is Zidane! Magnifique!

Did I mention je aime La France? Allons enfants de la patrie!

OMG! Is Giroud the slowest striker to ever play?

You're right Steve W! It should have been Wales vs Iceland!!!!!!!!!

vive la France for me. But for all I don't particularly like Ronaldo, he tends to get the job done . I think it'll be good.
this just in

France is fun to watch, Ze Germans haven't looked exciting for a couple of years now. Crazy how in two years time they could go from untouchable to just very good.
France will win easily I think.

I hope you are joking. Cause that is very laughable.

We are losing to teams and their best players are in the MLS. The USMNT has played better with a much smaller player pool.

Blah.

One almost gets the feeling France would have done better with Ronaldo in there.

Full credit to Portugal for doing what they needed to. France were fairly uninspiring. Pogba certainly didn't look like the zillions that MU and RM want to pay. They might have been better off leaving Giroud on and substituting Martial for Griezmann, who did very little after missing that header.
