Fifa World Cup 2014 Round Of 16 Belgium vs. USA

This is the eighth round of 16 between Belgium and USA. This game was a very even game. Belgium had a bit more chances, but USA goalie Tim Howard saved all the shots. up to minute 90 there was no score. In minute 95 Kevin De Bruyne shoots it to the inside post, right over Howard's leg making the lead 1-0 for Belgium. In minute 105 Romelu Lukaku receives an overlap pass from De Bruyne and slams the ball into the net, doubling the lead for Belgium. Two minutes later Michael Bradley makes a long pass from midfield to Julian Green, and Green chips it over the goalie without the ball touching the ground. 2-1. That's how the game ended once extra time was over. Belgium is now going to face Argentina in the quarter finals.    

Fifa World Cup 2014 Round Of 16 Argentina vs Switzerland

This is the 7th round of 16. Switzerland,  after finishing as the runner-up after France in Group G, takes on Argentina who won all 3 games by 1 point leads. Even though most people thought Argentina was going to crush Switzerland I didn't. I think this world cup was really weird. Spain didn't pass, and Costa Rica finished 1st in the "group of death". This was a great game with a lot of shots for both teams. There were no goals in the 90 minutes of regular time so the game had to go to overtime. In minute 118, 2 minutes before the game would go to penalties Lionel Messi makes a beautiful pass to Angel Di Maria who shoots it past Benaglio and scores a beautiful goal. Of course Di Maria received all the credit which I thought was unfair. All Di Maria did was shoot the ball with a pass right to his feet. But Messi actually did the whole thing. He evaded 2 defenders and made a really nice pass to Di Maria who scores. That's how the game ended, Di Maria almost scoring when Benaglio goes all the way up front. Argentina earned a spot vs. the winner of USA and Belgium in the quarter finals.

Fifa World Cup 2014 Round Of 16 Germany vs. Algeria

This was a very good game between Germany and Algeria in the round of 16. Algeria, as you probably guessed the underdogs, was able to hold Germany back. Just after the break, Islam Slimani heads the ball and scores a beautiful goal but he was offside by a foot so the goal was violated. The game ended like that and went to overtime. Joachim Low must have talked to Germany spewed up hope because in minute 92 Andre Schurrle does a Ronaldo chop (a kind of play where you slide your right foot through your left foot and kick the ball) and scores. Then in minute 120 Schweinsteiger shoots and it hits the wrong side of Algerian defender Esseid Belkalem and goes right to Mesut Ozil who shoots it and scores. One minute later Islam Slimani receives a pass from Sophiane Feghouli and scores. That's how the game ended. I think the loss was due to Esseid Belkalem who passed it right to Ozil so he could score the winning goal.

Fifa World Cup 2014 Round Of 16 France vs. Nigeria

This is the 5th round of 16 between France and Nigeria. France played much better than the Super Eagles but none of the beautiful shots were goals until minute 79 when the Nigerian goalie charges up on a corner kick and the ball goes straight to Pogba who heads it in. It was weird since France had so many really good shots but the one shot that wasn't really that good went in. Skipping ahead to minute 92 when Valbuena crosses it to Griezmann and it looks like he shot it in but it actually hit the Nigerian defender, Yobo. Griezmann nods his head to when Valbuena jumps on him. That's how the game ended. The Super Eagles went home; and France will be facing the winner of Germany and Algeria.

Fifa World Cup 2014 Round Of 16 Costa Rica vs. Greece

This is the 4th round of 16 between Costa Rica and Greece. This was a pretty good game. After the break in minute 52 Ruiz gets a shot on the ground that crosses the net. The Greek goalie, Orestis Karnezis was probably in shock since he could've easily saved it but he didn't move an inch. So that was what I like to call a "given goal". In the late 2nd half Duarte gets his 2nd yellow card of the game and Costa Rica is playing with 10 men. Just 1 minute before Costa Rica would win Soraktis slammed the ball through the net marking extra time for this astonishing game. There were no goals in extra time so the game went to penalties. Costa Rica scores, Greece scores. Costa Rica scores, Greece scores. Costa Rica scores, Greece scores. The score is 3-3. Costa Rica scores, Greece misses. now it's all up to Costa Rica. If they score, they advance. If they miss, Greece has the chance to tie up the game and keep it to extra-penalties. He directs, he takes a lead, he shoots, he scores!! Costa Rica advances to the quarter finals vs. Netherlands!!

Fifa World Cup 2014 Round Of 16 Netherlands vs. Mexico

This is the third round of 16 match between Netherlands and Mexico. In the beginning of the game I think Mexico played better given on the possession, 54-46. Just after the break Giovanni Dos Santos gets a really nice shot outside the area making the lead 1-0. After that Mexico started to go downhill. They were able to hold the lead until minute 88 when Arjen Robben makes a corner kick to Wesley Sneyder who bombs it to the left corner and scores. But that wasn't enough for Netherlands. In minute 94 Rafael Marquez slide tackles Arjen Robben in the area making it a penalty which Huntelaar scores. 1 minute later the game ended and Netherlands won. My man of the match was Andrea Ochoa. If it weren't for him Netherlands would've won 5-1 instead of 2-1. Netherlands are playing in the quarter finals vs. the winner of Costa Rica and Greece.

Fifa World Cup 2014 Round Of 16 Brazil vs. Chile

This is the round of 16 between Brazil and Chile. In minute 18 Neymar shoots a corner kick to Thiago Silva who heads it to David Luiz and he scores. I think it was a nice goal, 3-person teamwork. In minute 32 Marcelo does a bad throw-in that goes to Humberto Suazo and he crosses to Alexis Sanchez, who shoots it to the corner for the equalizer. Late into the second half Marcelo gives a long pass to Fred and he scores but unluckily for Brazil, the ball hit Fred's hand when he jumped up to get the ball so the referee called it a handball. The game ended like that and went to overtime, still no score. After that the game went to penalties. The game ended 3-2 Brazil, Jara, Pinilla, and Sanchez missing their penalty shots. Brazil is playing vs. the winner of Uruguay and Colombia.  

Fifa World Cup 2014 Round Of 16 Colombia vs. Uruguay

This is the round of 16 between Colombia and Uruguay. Uruguay was not said to do very well as their best player Luis Suarez, had been suspended for 9 Fifa World Cup games and 4 months of any league after biting Giorgio Chiellini in the arm. In minute 28 a great play came. Radamel Falcao heads the ball that goes directly to Coates, who heads it out which goes back to Radamel Falcao. Falcao heads the ball to 22-year-old Colmbian star James Rodriguez just outside the area. James gets it, stops it with his chest, and then without the ball hitting the ground he takes a left footed shot that tips Uruguayan's goalie Fernando Muslera's hand, then hits the crossbar and goes in. I think that was the best goal yet. Everything from Falcao's 1st header up to the James' beauty strike was made without the ball even touching the ground. Right now every Uruguay fan hates Suarez for being suspended because he could've really helped Uruguay score some goals. But that wasn't enough for James. In minute 50 just after the break he receives a pass from Radamel Falcao and scores another goal. That's how the game ended. Colombia will be versing Brazil in the quarter finals.  

Fifa World Cup 2014 Holland vs. Costa Rica

This was a very close game. Costa Rica was a big underdog but after becoming 1st in the group of death with England, Italy, and Uruguay, they were said to be a threat to the major teams. Holland played better but the game still went out 0-0. Then came overtime, still no score. After that the game went to penalties. Holland made a goalie substitution since Tim Krul was better (and barely taller) at catching penalties than Jasper Cillenssen. Krul saved 2 shots, so he technically won the game for Holland. Holland won 4-3, and they are versing Argentina in the semi-finals.
