Yes, one of the 2 Greek guys making it past the halfway line after they scored. Greece is like a slightly luckier Iran. I frankly have no dog in this hunt, but neither has Greece a place in the next round of this tournament the way they played.
Lovely goal by the Marfileños.
Ivory Coast evens it up with Greece.
And prayer answered. Greece will need a second goal to go on. I’ve not seen this many white shirts left of center since this half began…
Gooooool!!!
Colombia 3 Japan 1
Jackson Martinez with his second goal!
Colombia substituted in Faryd Mondragón to goal making him the oldest player (at age 43) to play in a World Cup.
Dude is older than me!
And Ivory coast gives the game away.
Penalty to Greece! This will be interesting.
Gooool!
Colombia 4 Japan 1
Bye bye Ivory Coast.
Gotta feel for the Ivory Coast. That’s a really crappy way to go out of the tournament.
Holy fuck!
4-1 final for Colombia.
They face Uruguay next, perhaps without Suarez?
Spain out, England out, Italy out, Greece advances. Strange, but entertaining (Ok, Greece not so much) WC.
Better be without the biter. Not sure who deserves infamy more, he or Harald Schumacher.
Greece actually seemed the better team today, a few good breaks, a few shots against the crossbar. I would think Mexico and Holland are fancying their chances to reach the semi finals!
If you haven’t looked that far ahead: the winner of Holland vs Mexico plays the winner of Costa Rica vs Greece in the quarters.
Wonder what would happen in an Iran-Greece game - what would they do all game? Who am I kidding - I know what would happen - nothing.
I’m glad Costa Rica get to advance to the quarter finals. They richly derserve it. If at that point they meet Holland, I don’t care what they derserve. Hup Holland!
PKs ftw.
One of my favorite non-game moments from Mexico-Croatia. They should let fans mix more often.
