Today, being the day 1 of the quarter finals of the World Cup, has already offered a lot of talking points for us.
It's so fascinating to see how this tournament is evolving and I'm genuinely dazzled by the games I watched today.
You know the games, right?
Netherlands 2 - 2 Argentina🟢
Croatia🟢 1 - 1 Brazil
Each of these games were a joy to watch and both teams went toe to toe against each other. They literally kicked 50 shades of shit out of each other and dragged on the game until it got settled in penalty shootouts.
You know what? I really can't make head or tail of what Croatia are good at. Haha. This sounds insane considering how well they performed in the previous World Cup and they are also getting the job done this time around. But, I really don't rate them highly.
I never imagined Croatia would survive this Brazil masterclass. There is nothing too special about this Croatian team, yet they always manage to drag games into extra time and then to penalty shootout. Using that tactics against this brilliant Brazil squad is something I never thought would have been possible.
Well, I won't get salty about their success. GoodLuck to them for making it into the next round of the competition. Their game against Argentina would be an interesting one to watch.
Talking about Argentina, they also did a really good job in their game against Netherlands.
When I weighed everything that happened in this game on a scale, I couldn't help but place the referee at the epicenter of the whole drama. Haha. Man was dishing out yellow cards for fun.
Lolzzzzz... Do the maths!
The referee went bonkers and was ready to even extend the yellow card to ball boys, fans and every 'harry' that attempts to steal the spotlight from him. Hehe.
Well, I feel gutted to know that Brazil's spell in this world cup is over. It would have been fun to see them play against Argentina, but Croatia had other plans. Hehe.
Congrats to Argentina and Croatia. Let's look forward to what day 2 of the quarter finals will bring to the big screen, for our viewing pleasure.
