Nooooo...I want an Argentina vs Brazil SF!!
Argentina has weaknesses that an experienced and better team would easily exploit. Throw in an experienced and one of the best coaches in the game like Van Gaal and this is looking more like a Dutch win. Messi has played in five World Cups starting in 2006 and this current team he's on is the weakest or least talented, if you compared to the other four teams he was on.

I feel like Messi and Ronaldo underperform in world cups. They do great in their leagues but, in the world cup they dont shine as much as they are supposed to.
They typically under perform at the WC, mostly in the knockout stages.

Hardest shot, not very creative based on what I’ve seen in this World Cup
Who cares if they're creative as they're unstoppable? Bobby Hull's shots weren't creative either.

I think Sportsnet One ( ch 48 on Cogeco) is the one that Broadcast some Bundesliga games. The commentary is superb.
I follow mainly the EPL currently on FuboTV. Their commentators are from England and there are some I agree with while the others seems biased towards their loyalty teams.

lol its ok to laugh at Italy.

The Azzurri are pissed off they may laugh best. The new defense will be grim for any Selects to go up against, England got a taste of what's coming in their last Nations League match. Kylian Mbappe has the second hardest shot, let's see what happens when AC Milan recall Rolling Thunder. Harry Kane is a very tough dude, he ran into the Atalanta Wall and didn't get stretchered off.

It was not a penalty.

I feel bad for Japan, they never gave up and they lost because they're not good with penalty shots. You have to respect them though. I think Croatia's team is old, this is why they had a hard time with Japan'. I think they'll lose against Brazil, I can't see Korea winning against Brazil.

All the 3 penalties Japan missed were on the ground and saved easily by the keeper. Shows they didnt practice much. Successful penalties, such as taken by Cristiano Ronaldo, are higher and to the corner. Rarely on the ground.

Right. We dont need more ''Theatrics'' on the pitch!! Some of these guys should get Oscars for their antics.
That's right it's always the Italians, it's only the Italians.
No comment on Richarlison's "theatrics" which got them a penalty kick for Brasil's first goal?
Or is it ok because it's Brasil?

You're right not only in this game, but most of the saved penalties in the championship were low.
