just a tad stressful, hey....  ;D

Going nicely crescendo for Les Bleus...

Germany in 1/4 finals to get rid of the ghosts of 1982 and 1986...  >:D

Brazil in 1/2 finals just because that would give a nice un deux trois zero...after 1986 and 1998...

and then Argentina in the final...

yep....walk in the park....  :blank:  ???

Algeria (if they defeated Germany - very unlikely), would be a 'revenge' of sorts on Germany, from 1982, would it not?

Olivier, you forgot France's win over Brazil in 2006!  :)

I stand corrected. For some  reason, there might be a bit of a blank between 2006 and 2014....  :laugh:

Indeed! What an amazing game. A pity that one of them had to lose.  :-\

What a game for Thomas in US goal.  What an attacking game by Belgium.

Wow, what a game!  What an OT!!

All the games in the Group 16 were pretty exciting, and with plenty of drama.  Marvelous football to watch.

Aside from the US getting its butt kicked the entire game they played a fine OT! :D

In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

This is true.  They were heavily outplayed, except for that 2nd extra time frame.
