We'll see you then. I'm hoping Croatia can recover their legs in time. Back to back ET PK games. I'd be in physical therapy sessions all day and night trying to get ready.

Pretty good run for a team that was supposed to "suck." They played an important part in making this tournament memorable.

Well They looked like They took the 1st half off, so maybe They were saving Themselves.

except for Alexi Lalas, dont hate the guy but he is a bit grating and comes across like a pompous *** at times

Alexei representing! Prefer the Dutch commentator, though he is difficult to understand, as he provides insights without the hackneyed Alpha jock posturing of Lalas. The old Russian coach was not the best choice IMO though I respect his experience and knowledge and connection to the host country. He's just not very engaging.

Alexi Lalas, a hard to understand Dutchman and a poe-faced old Russian, that sounds like a heck of a line-up.

I'm not sure I can take 1 more week of "Football's coming Home"
But the sacrifice will be worth it if We Win.

Think of this. The finals have been dominated by 4 teams. Brazil, Italy, Germany, and Argentina. We've had 20 WC finals and one or more of those teams have been in every one except for 1. This will be the second.

I picked Belgium from day 1. Obscene amount of world class talent on the field. The fruits of their national commitment to soccer academies.
Too bad the winner of Belgium-France has to stick around to play England or Croatia. That semifinal should be the final. No offense to our English cowboy fans.
