Wow, Columbia with the extra time equalizer, then seemingly had it won in PKs then dinged one of the crossbar, and had one stopped to seize defeat from the jaws of victory.
watched this game with some friends from colombia, place went crazy at the equalizer, then heartbreak on the 2 missed penalties.

I'm really hoping for Belgium-France and Croatia-England in the semis.  That would be a fantastic set of matches.  

agree, really like those mtchups, and like those teams as well.

as a spurs fan:
england - kane, dele, trippier, dier, and rose are all on roster.
belgium - alderwiereld, vertongen, dembele
france - lloris
croatia - former spur modric

also really like de bruyne and lukaku on belgium and pogba and mbappe from france are fun to watch.

it was a great match.  

I'm looking forward to the semi-finals.    All 4 teams have been playing well.  I think Croatia will slow down England and disrupt what they want to do with the ball.   I've been impressed with Belgium all tourney so I'm going to stick with them winning it all

Yeah I said that early, with my only hesitation being just how bad the group they had to get through was.  They've proven their merit though.  In one game anything can happen, but I wouldn't pick the Belgium-France winner to lose any osrt of best-of or aggregate match against the England-Croatia winner.

Sweet.  My wish came true.
While I'm at it, I'm really hoping for the Texas Longhorns to win the national championship in NCAA football in 2018/9. :)

You say, as if you picked the semifinals before the cup even started. 
Nice try though.

Nah, I'm gonna roll with it anyway.  

Anyway, looking forward to my two favorite countries (other than USA and USMNT of course) battling it out today.

But I do like England, and Croatia's on the list to visit when my i s c & a aggie wife and I go for the Eurocup in 2020.  We're definitely hitting Budapest, and Croatia, and after that I'm not sure.  We're debating heading back up north for the "Beer Tour" including Germany and Belgium, or staying down south for the "Wine Tour" of Italy/France/Spain.

We've been to Southern Europe together, but only I have been to the Northern European countries.  It's a tough choice.

the England/Croatia semi has been great.   This has been so much better than the Olympics a few years ago
