I can’t see them getting past the Croats either.

I hope Russia plays England in the semis and the English get belted just like in the euros 2 years ago.

I remember the Russian minister for sport comments after the riot two years ago “the English aren’t used seeing real men marching, they are only used to watching gay parades”

England is and always has been an enemy of the Macedonian nation.

I hate the bastards and have no respect for this immoral nation.

I think the Russian dream will meet its end by the Hrvati

God save the Queen

I was walking around Barcelona last night and heard a roar right near the end of the game and my heart sank. The momentum had turned long before that.

So, Brazil vs ??? In the grand final?

Risto, vives en Barcelona?

Tienes razon.. Me parece que Brazil es muy fuerte.

England were lucky to come away with it today, Columbia looked the better team, I half expected an all out brawl to erupt at one stage.

Got to say I’m looking forward to all these quarter final matches, hopefully the outcomes being decided on penalties can be kept to a minimum

I’m personally rooting for England, but I think France currently look like they are the front runners to take this one out (much to my despise)

Relatively comfortable win for Brazil. But what about Neymar, drama queen much? The guy is a classy player and I get that he is tackled a lot, often harshly, but some of his theatrics are becoming tiresome. I guess that's what happens when one becomes accustomed to playing in Europe with some of the circus performers there. As a fan of the game, I am losing respect for him, quickly. Brazil is better than that.

The game should do more to stamp that crap out. The only time rolling around the grass like a monkey on ice in a Hollywood movie is acceptable is when a player has either broken his leg or suffers a grade 1 muscle tear.. no shame really turns me off Brazil.

I’d spew hard if Brazil wins this World Cup..

Go Russia or Croatia..

Feel sorry for Japan!

To be up by 2 goals and concede 3 in the last 25 minutes is a horrible way to go out. One word characterises this world cup - unpredictable.

Brazil is taking on Mexico tonight.

I'm still in Spain. The loss was a national tragedy!

I can imagine. To be honest, aside from Argentina, I am enjoying watching the heavyweights get knocked out. Out of the six teams that made it to the finals in the last three world cups, only one of them remains (France). Kind of unfortunate that Russia and Croatia are playing against each other in the quarter finals, but I hope whoever wins makes it to the final.

Karposh sorry about your father mate. Bog da go prosti.

I don’t know you personally, but I enjoy reading your posts, and judging by your posts i know for sure that your father raised you to be the fine Macedonian you are.

Thanks mate. That's really nice of you to say.

[Risto the Great]

Congratulations to Russia for knocking out Spain this morning. An amazing accomplishment for the home team. Spain has looked like a team in disarray, that coach issue in the beginning, some of their aging players, political issues back home, etc. They never lived up to expectations in Russia. Also surprising that Croatia barely made it against Denmark, first time they haven't looked convincing in this tournament.
