If you see a German today, they might need a hug.

Group E had a pretty exciting group of finishing games. Japan topped Spain, basically eliminating Germany

yeah, we'll see what happens next, but an exciting day. There were a lot of Japanese people at the conference here for the watch party. Super excited

Saw that. Pretty crazy.

What do you think our chances are tomorrow? I wish Troy would pop back and weigh in as he always seemed to have a better take on soccer than us.

Low. I would have guessed about 25%. 538 says 35% We just don't have enough playmakers.

The first 6 games in the elimination have gone to form... Spain vs Morocco - 0 - 0, 2 OTs, now in penalty kicks. This would be a huge upset.

Morocco made the first 2, missed their 3rd. But, Spain was blocked on #1 and #3... and just missed on #2....

BOOM! Morocco converts #4! WOW

I missed the match, saw the PKs. Which, honestly, is kinda perfect. :) Although OT looked a little exciting in this case.

The more amazing thing is that of the 4 semifinal teams, 2 are from Group F - Morocco + Croatia. Each 1 game away from a potential rematch (0-0 tie to open the WC)
