    A real shame for Japan. Japan looked inhibited to me, they looked like they were playing the history of Brazil rather than the present. This is not a great Brazil side and are there for the taking. Japan should have outrun Brazil and relentlessly pressed and counter pressed like they do when they play other teams. Theyโ€™ve really let themselves down there, a real shame. I donโ€™t think Brazil played particularly well, I think Japan played within themselves and itโ€™s cost them. Really sad

    Wow, Paraguay and Morocco both through on penalties! Germany and Netherlands out! The knock-out stages just got serious.

    And it's raining here for the first time for days, which sounds and feels lovely. ๐ŸŒง ๐ŸŒฆ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

    Happy Tuesday everyone!

    That was a good match between Japan and Brazil! I thought Japan was going to win at some points๐Ÿ˜„

    Very disappointed for Japan last night. I actually fell asleep 2 minutes before the end of the Germany v Paraguay extra time, so missed all the pens. ๐Ÿ˜ก

    This evening the last-32 continues with:

    6pm (BST): Ivory Coast (@66Mustang and @cityjacko) v Norway (@andrewkuk)

    10pm (BST): France (@wrighty08) v Sweden (@yellowpineapple84)

    2am (BST): Mexico (@spb and @danish) v Ecuador (@Viran007 and @juliehall)

    Any predictions? France seems like the only safe bet!

    I'm going to predict Norway, France, and Ecuador to win. Possibly the first and last games decided by penalties.

    I predict Ivory Coast, France and Ecuador to win. After last night though anything could happen. I could do with an early night though so hope only one goes to extra time.

    Will not be watching at 2am.
