Spain will probably win but I have a funny feeling the home team will cause an upset and beat Spain.

Croatia are the best performed team of this World Cup so far and should be too strong for the Danes.

1-1 at half time, plenty of posession for Spain but they show no interest in taking the game to the Russians, who are more in this game than I expected. Spain need to pick things up in the second half... and I think they will.

Russia has blocked Spains offenses pretty well....surprisingly well even I'd say. They are playing on a whole different leven than they were against Uruguay.

This might much closer match than I predicted.

You think Russia might *inject* a bit of excitement to the competition?

First half of Extra Time is done and Spain has had some chances...

All I can say I hope this won't go to penalty kicks because then it comes down to luck and then there is a strong chance that the worse team (Russia by far in this case) might advance.

We're in the penalty kicks now... 2-2 as I write this.

RUSSIA BLOCKED ONE

Could they advance to the round of 8? This team that, historically, hasn't been a factor in futbol since the 1960s?

EDIT:  RUSSIA ADVANCES!!!

Man I hate Penalty Kicks....Especially when teams that are so uneven...

Spain should have naturally deserved to win this but this is what it is...Russia wasn't bad but they just played stupid footsy for this match.

Russia's home luck keeps up.

If you haven't seen Icarus yet, now is a very good time to do so, before Russia takes on the winner of Croatia v Denmark...

I might check that out...might not though...not a big fan of documentaries because it is really hard to know just how biast and how colored they are.

But the truth is after the whole doping scandal I really find it extremely hard to believe they would even risk using doping now...especially considering just how hard it would be to do it undetected now.



Anyways back on topic...

I am afraid to say anything anymore because pretty much everything I say the exact opposite happens...when I believe it will be a low goal match we get a 4-3 and when I think it'll be a high goal match we get a 1-1 to the Penalty kicks...

But man I do want Croatia to win...which ofcourse means Denmark will win...

1-1 after 4 minutes... this could require fingers AND toes to keep count.

A bit dissapointing after that start. Hopefully Croatia will nick a goal in Extra Time.

Now that was a great penalty shoot out! Lots of great saves and failed shots!

Good to see the right team advance this time around!

I feel sorry for Casper Schmichael saving 3 penalties in the game and still going out. But Croatia were just about the better team.
