This World Cup has been great. I hope this means we won't have to wait another 30 years to get another one in North America.

Might be as early as 2038 because if FIFA doesn't change the rules, CONCACAF is the only confederation that can put in a bid to host.

You're forgetting Oceania. As long as New Caledonia can put together a couple of billion dollars in FIFA bribe money, I'd say they're a shoo-in.

Maybe Australia will apply to be a member of Oceania again so they can host.

Dutch appear to be playing for PKs. That's a mistake. Morocco will peck them to death.

NED strategy has been questionable all match. I get they're worried about the MAR attack but still extremely passive for a normally offensive side.

Why is the ref stopping it for a non head injury

Felt like they had a ton of momentum that they just gave away passing it around

Do the ref stopped play for a guy with a cramp, and this dude got his eye laid open by an elbow and its play on, lol

A little too casual for Morocco at the last minute.

I'll take Morocco in PKs.

I still think a better system would be Multiball: Another ball is added to the field every 5 minutes until a goal is scored!

So many penalty shootouts in the last few World Cups. Teams play so scared to lose that they won't attack

Stu kept saying that NED was playing for penalties, I think they were exhausted and hanging on for dear life.

My gut take:

penalty takers - slight advantage to MAR
keeper - slight advantage to NED

Bracket says Orange. I think MAR might pull it out.

Really poor. These are top 16 minimum and maybe both top 8.
