Lawro's predicted 2-0 wins in every single game. Lazy sod.

For my part I don't think any of the games will be won by more than one goal. But the two Friday games should be fantastic.

Absolute crackers. Football doesn't get better than those matches.

Oops, I've probably jinxed it now. Be prepared for the worst matches you've ever seen.

 

[Spurger King]

I don't think I have ever looked forward to a world cup quarter-finals as much as this. Best world cup of my life so far.

I actually feel that Spurs fans deserve it after having our lives piled with misery since late last year.

Unfortunately for me I'm supporting Argentina, so the drab, uninspiring football seems to be continuing.

 

[not_tenth-again]

This is much better than Christmas as a 6 year old.

I've been adjusting my sleep pattern for the last two days in preparation. Should be two cracking games!

I'm going Germany in extra time and Colombia in regular time. Bring on the upset!

 

[spurs mental]

I've backed Colombia to win it yesterday. 12/1. I nearly did it last week when they were 22! If they beat Brazil the momentum will be massive.

I've supported Germany all the way, so if they meet in the SF I won't know who to support.


Watch them both get knocked out tonight now....

 

[CosmicHotspur]

It's been a strange few days without the WC. I've even been neglecting Wimbledon this year which I usually follow all the way through. Looking forward to these games.

 

[Cavehillspur]

Tight wins for Germany and Colombia.

Cannot wait!

 

[THFCSPURS19]

I can't see Brazil going out today.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Both games could go to extra time.

 

[spurs mental]

David Pleat, have you hacked into Cosmics account?!



I know what you mean by the way Cosmic, just joking around.

 

[chinaman]

Hope France and Columbia go through. France because of Lloris, and Columbia the underdog.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Going large on Colombia pulling off a major upset today. They're playing the best footy of the tournament imo. Sodding KO time means I'll miss a half of the France/Germany game... which I'm actually thinking is the most likely to be a frustrating game.

 

[yankspurs]

Still upset the US lost. By the way, I have this hatred of Landon Donovan that just escalates everytime he speaks. Shut the fuck up already. If Klinsmann kept the same fucking tactics as we did in the Gold Cup, we would have gotten 0 points in the group and lost 5-0 every game. Donovan can not be any more fucking bitter. Fuck off Donovan. Just fuck off. He's turing into a fucking cancer to US Soccer. Fuck him.

/rant over

Anyway, LETS FUCKING GO COLOMBIA!!!! I need the love of my life to be happy

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Do the BBC pundits not realise that Lloris plays almost the exact same as Neuer?

 

[Lifeson]

Do the BBC pundits not realise that Lloris plays almost the exact same as Neuer?

They're raving about it on Norwegian tv aswell, no mention that Lloris has been doing that all year for spurs.

 

[dirtyh]

2-1 Germany and 2-1 Columbia, prob both after extra time
