Hmmm....Tim Howard reincarnated 4 years later?

damn

That's a brutal way to lose.

Dern....The defense kept tracking Lukaku and he led them away from the play twice.

Why can't all soccer be like the second half of Belgium-Japan?

I actually felt like both teams were going after it... and not just wussing around hoping to run off the clock so you can win it with sissy kicks.

And that last scoring play by Belgium.... That was fantastic! Why oh why do they not do that all the time???

Lukaku has some massive cajones. To dummy 6 yards from goal in the 94th minutes of a tie WC game. Most people lunge at that scared of losing the opportunity. Lukaku had the balls to let that thru to Chadli.

This. How many players let that ball go through? Less than 1% I guess. Possibly one of the best second halves I've ever watched.

Watched the first 15 minutes and had to leave for the airport. I checked the score before I went through security and it was 0-0 at HT. Went through security and it was 2-0, watched the last 30 minutes and saw the comeback by Belgium. I love the World Cup!

What a day for the WC! Brazil and Neymar definitely better than my el Tri but the Mexicans have nothing to be ashamed of. And what a comeback by Belgium! I’m happy of course for Debrugne and Kompany. Looking forward to England / Colombia.

Almost no one. It was the most impressive play I've seen the entire world cup. Even more impressive than Mbappe's 70 yard run to draw a penalty in the France Argentina game.

How does Mark Geiger give a card for a headbutt and it isnt red?

This one may end in a pile.

Geiger didn't see it, gave it off the advice of either VAR or one of his other officials.

Though judging by the number of cards he's given out, and Colombia's general reaction to those cards, he's probably not a very popular person there right now...

Oh dear...Colombia scores late in Stoppage time to Equalize. We're off to extra times. Could England face PK's again in the World Cup?

Once both teams stopped acting like madmen the last 20 minutes was really good. England was sitting way too deep the last 10 minutes. Got what they deserve.

England is physically and mentally out of this game right now.

Southgate taking a couple of their best attacking threats out for defenders late in the 2nd half hasn't helped.

We're going to Penalties. Haha. England doesn't exactly have an illustrious history in these.

Danny Rose changed the momentum a little in the 2nd ET.

Ospina is gonna think about that Dier penalty for a long time. He had it. It went under him.

A Spurs man beating a Gooner!!!!! NORTH LONDON IS LILYWHITE!!!!!
