Shootouts decided both matches today
Both matches today featured the best part about the Knockout stage of the World Cup: shootouts!
Shootouts are always an exciting way to settle a tied game after 120 minutes of play.
The first game featured Spain vs Russia and ended with the hosting country advancing after the shootout settled the 1-1 tie.
The next game between Croatia and Denmark was also tied 1-1 after 120 minutes. The Croatian goalkeeper saved 3 shots to lead his team through the shootout.

Tomorrow's first match features Mexico vs Brazil. This promises to be a great one as we've already seen Mexico defeat Germany this Cup. The second match features Belgium vs Japan. I'm predicting Brazil and Belgium to advance without trouble.
Thanks for reading and enjoy the World Cup!
Shootouts are the most exciting part of soccer. I miss the World Cup.
Great matches all weekend - I'm hoping that Belgium will win now as Brazil vs Belgium would likely be an excellent match up

This time world cup match is just amazing
Those that i think they will reach semi final are gone already
Both the matches were breathtaking specially the spain vs russia match it has been a special world cup
I saw the game, the game is very exciting. Brazil win and qualify for the next round. Belgium also qualified for the next round with a very bitter tie against Japan. Belgium can reverse the situation after they are behind 2 goals, then they can win with the final score 3-2.
Have a good day.....
