Maaaaaaan. Chile, Swiss, Nigeria, Mexico and Algeria deserved all their games. It would have been such an amazing underdog kind of WC, much more interesting than the regular. All we got now is Colombia and Costa Rica as the underdogs.

Since when is Colombia an underdog? A team that's in the top 5 (used to be 3rd some time ago I believe) in the FIFA ranking can't be considered an underdog

 

Argentina is so disappointing. They have so much talent, yet all they do is wait till Messi does something. Until he makes his move and blesses us with yet another showing of his genius, they are helpless. So sad, considering how much talent they have on their roster.

The next game is going to be interesting. Not a single US player would ever make it to play in the national squad of Belgium, but they seem to be a working very well as a team, unlike the Belgians. We'll see how it goes, but I believe talent will take over, as it has in every game of this stage thus far.

Well, this is the first time ever that they make it to quarter finals. That sounds pretty underdog to me.
