It's always fun watching the Argentine attack. So much talent it's ridiculous.

It should be interesting seeing the great Messi again on the biggest stage

Lichsteiner nominating himself for the worst game of the tournament. Luckily, Casillas might have that locked down.

Croatian goalie thanks you for forgetting his dreadful performance so quickly.

 

[volfanCLT]

What a finish! God I love the World Cup

 

[VolinMichigan]

Switzerland!!!!! What a killer for Ecuador!

 

[bleedorange0037]

What a devastating finish for Ecuador. They go from having a good look in front of goal for the win to conceding and losing the match in less than 30 seconds.

As a side note, for all the poor officiating we've seen so far, kudos to that ref for not immediately blowing his whistle and stopping play once the Swiss player went to ground as the break was starting.

Agreed. Great call by the ref.

 

[VolinMichigan]

Or no-call I should say

 

[JonWard]

Agreed. Great call by the ref.

Best/Worst ending so far.

Wow, 93rd minute

 

[DocVOLiday]

Crazy turn of events right there! I thought surely Ecuador was going to put that in the back of the net and win

They had two chances to crack a shot and didn't pull the trigger.

Honduras is dirty. They will have someone sent off.

Honduras looks a lot bigger and if size is your only advantage you may as well knock some people around and hope for a liberal referee.

What do I get?

 

[volfanCLT]

Benzema will finish this

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

What do I get?

A penalty kick.

 

[volfanCLT]

Nice use of the goal line technology. Close, but goal.

 

[White Bread]

Benzema just has a nose for goals. His talent gets under played a lot because he's on the same team as Ronaldo.

 

[volfanCLT]

Benzema is world class

 

[Spartacavolus]

Benzema is world class

Thanks Lalas!

 

[volfanCLT]

Lalas stole it from me

 

[volfanCLT]

I imagine France is just trying to get out of this without injury at this point

 

[volball625]

**** this Honduras team.
