Once again I got one out of two right in today's World Cup Quarterfinals with me picking France over England correctly but missing the Morocco over Portugal win. Both matches were clean (compared to the Argentina/Netherlands match yesterday) and fun to watch. Though I had picked Portugal over Morocco, I was rooting for Morocco to pull off the upset. They did it with great defense and a well executed header for the only goal in their match.
So the semifinals are now set for Tuesday and Wednesday (12/13 and 12/14)
Argentina versus Croatia
France versus Morocco
I am guessing that Argentina and France will both win but I will be rooting for the underdogs (Croatia and Morocco). Once again I am mostly hoping for fun "beautiful" soccer with matches decided in regular time or extended time (but not via penalty kicks). PKs are exciting but I much prefer goals scored in regular play.
RIP Grant Wahl. Your writing will be missed.
