Yesterday it was Canada, and today it's Brazil. A very late game-winning goal earns the team a place in the round of 16.
Just as it did for South Africa yesterday, my heart goes out to the team knocked out -- Japan.
It’s heartbreaking to see an underdog play with that much heart and still lose.

Brazil vs. Japan is a reward for everyone who watched South Africa vs. Canada yesterday. The polar opposites of playoff football games. Two teams trying to win it today, vs. yesterday was two teams trying not to lose for 75 minutes.

Fun fact: this is the first time in history Africa has been *overrepresented* in World Cup knockout rounds.
I suspect it will not be the last.

this is how I feel about all of CAF but especially Ivory Coast and I hope they beat Norway to make this clear to all
I’m not sure which game it followed, but at one point, Thierry Henry just said “if you’re not watching African football, that’s on you.” Like, no, I’m actually NOT shocked that all these teams are going through bc I’ve seen them before with my eyes?

“Lions are waiting for us,” Wissa said in French. “Leopards, we know how to react.”
Unreal! "And yes, Congo’s reward for winning is a date with mighty England. But in the moment, all that matters is this: Congo, a nation of 100 million people, is right this moment enjoying the greatest sporting moment in its history." #DRCongo #DRC #Zaire #WorldCup sports.yahoo.com/soccer/artic...

Truly a case of the "thrill of victory and the agony of defeat,” to quote the old ABC show (Wide World of Support).
Canada just secured a historic World Cup knockout stage win with a dramatic 92nd-minute goal.
Very hard luck to South Africa which played its heart out.

Canada is going to need more control of the ball and of their decision-making to be in with any chance against either the Netherlands or Morocco.
I hope we see Larin and Ahmed…..
