Hoping for Messi v. England in the finals, if only because the matchthread on here would be amazing. Which means we’re getting Morocco v. Croatia.

Makes me happy just imagining that Moroccans are feeling what we felt in 2002. Every country in the world should get to experience that level of joy.

You’re welcome Croatia. We sucked all the goals out of them.

Robbed of my opportunity to see Bruno for the first time today We weren’t good enough to deserve him.

I am happy with this World Cup. We showed that we deserve to be there and weren't just making up the numbers. This is the first time I've ever seen us go the entire tournament trying to play good possession football without putting ten-men behind the ball at any point. Despite having most of our key players crocked in one way or another, we showed that we could be the physical and technical equal of European teams. Honestly deserved better results than we got with the way we played in the group stage. Who knows, in a couple of years, maybe we'll even have competent fullbacks. Brazil was just better, and they came out roaring like they were the underdogs and had something to prove. Can't complain about losing to that. Now that the stressful part of it is over, I can go back to enjoying some high-stakes football without any skin in the game.

We'd have given these fuckers a game if not for that soft penalty.

I'll take that. Beautiful goal.

I know Brazil are probably just chilling out, but we've been playing them decently this second half.

We should have at least one goal here

I hope we never play these fuckers in the World Cup again

Even their goalkeeper is god mode. Christ.

Once you concede two silly early goals like that, not surprising that everyone's minds just go blank.

They all look like they're being possessed by the spirit of Pele. This is the best team I'v ever seen

You're playing for the greatest footballing nation on Earth and up 4-0 against South Korea. Why do you feel the need to go down like you're shot every time someone touches you.

Would take 5-0 now without a second thought

I hate how I can't just turn it off

This might be the best football team I've ever seen

Guys, guys, it's okay. You can stop playing hard now. Conserve some energy.

Just want one goal to make it respectable.

"could"?

Stop, stop, we're already dead

Would love for Messi to batter these in the semis. Or I guess going out on pens to Croatia would be fun too.

Even I don't believe that

Having to throw our fullbacks forward and attack against Brazil for 75 minutes Could set a record here.

Go home everyone. I have to bear witness just because, but no reason any of you should have to subject yourselves to this.
