Love me some World Cup! My two favorites for this Cup are Germany (my go-to UEFA team) and Mexico (my default CONCACAF team after the US didn't qualify). Now that Mexico beat Germany in the knockout round (though Germany will likely move on to the next round), I'm going for the "Murderers and Rapists" team.

It took them quite a while to score off Iran. There's actually a pretty good story behind the Iranian team by Jason Rezaian, the guy imprisoned by Iran after he talked to Bourdain.

Close call on the Iran goal that was disallowed for off-sides.

Nice game. It's brought back some fond memories for this old goalie.

Tried to watch, first act I saw was a flagrant flop and lost interest.
Good luck to whomever.

'Switzerland Edges Out Serbia In World Cup Win Thanks To Kosovo-Born Player'

"Switzerland beat Serbia in a tense World Cup match 2-1, in a victory even greater for the Kosovo-born players on the winning team.
Several players on the Swiss team have roots in Albanian Kosovo, the former Serbian province that declared its independence in 2008. Relations between Serbia and Kosovo have remained fraught, as Serbia refuses to recognize its former province as an independent nation." HP

Cool!

The goal of Toni Kroos in the last minute of the additional time is keeping the German team in the tournament.

The match Germany vs. Sweden (2 - 1) last night was an action thriller par excellence!!!
