Look....look. I get that you want the stadium atmosphere and all that and get people before they've had time to cool down, but doing post-game interviews pitch-side is ridiculous.

You've got people leaning over to hear questions and screaming into the microphone to be heard.

There has to be a more appropriate media room inside the stadium for these interviews.

And the criticisms of Croatia against Brazil are also dumb.

"You took off Modric, he was looking a little tired, are Croatia going to be able to cope with Brazil without him?

WTF are you even talking about? They subbed him at 100 minutes! He's 37 and he played a nearly flawless 100 minutes in addition to an arduous season...I could on and on.

What do you mean play Brazil without him? He's not hurt. What are these people watching?

If that was the case then both England/France and Arg/Ned would be on Friday and the other side of the group on Saturday.

England get a six day break. Tomorrow's teams get four.

Thats what I was getting at why England and France get extra rest while Brazil and Croatia don't get the rest required.

Ah.

But then the Friday guys get to play the first semifinal. An extra days rest for the 3rd place game Final when it really counts!

Yup, and against England that cannot stop it's a daily thing.

The French already have twice as many World Cup wins as England, just have to hope that they take care of business.

Judging by the zero posts about the 0-0 Spain-Morocco game, I'm guessing it's a boring affair with Spain just dominating possession but not doing anything?

Was just going to post a recap of the game so far with an hour gone.
Spain 72%possession.
One shot on goal.
Zero shots on target.
Pretty much tells it's own story.

Incorrect, at least this half. It's a pretty great 2nd half, not counting the typical UEFA flopping.

Yeah, but at least they're not in danger of conceding.

You're kidding?

It's a snoozefest. Zero chances. Zero half chances.

Good for Morocco I say. They can't be trading chances with the likes of Spain, so they lock it down until penalties.

I hope Spain get knocked out early for strategically trying to avoid Brazil. Cowards.

Spain with a lot of possession but being boring as hell? No way. I cant believe it.

Come on Morocco just hold the paella eating jerks until its past their siesta time and then pounce!

I don't understand the hate the Spanish style receives. I would bet every team and club wish they could hold onto the ball like the Spaniards. Canada struggles to string together more than 5 passes without losing the ball, yet this is being mocked as boring?

The Spanish style was at its peak when they had Xavi and Iniesta bossing the midfield. They don't have near the same caliber of players now and the tiki-taka style seems boring with a whole bunch of nothing passes.
