This is the drama we were waiting for. Brazil suffered up to the last minute of their match to beat a group of very disciplined Japanese, who played really well and whose names you may not remember. Brazilian players, with a market value of several hundred million dollars, just managed to beat 2-1 to the Blue Samurais.

If it wasn't enough, Germany was surprised by the Paraguayan and were losing most of the game. At 77 minutes of play, they equalized the match and led us to the extra time and penalty shoot out. Paraguay's goalkeeper saved 3 penalties, becoming the hero of the match. One of the favorites is going home.

Finally, Morocco and Netherlands ended in extra time and penalty shoot-out after 120 minutes of play (1-1), with both goalkeepers completing a great match. The Oranges missed three penalties and Morocco reached the last 16, where they will play against Canada.

Tonight, three more matches to decide who is going to be in the next round. First match will be between Ivory Coast and Norway, where Haaland and friends had a day off in their last match against France. Will it help them to overcome Ivory Coast? European teams are not doing well so far, with two of them going home.

Then, France will play against Sweden, where anything different from a clear French victory would be a surprise.

Finally, Mexico and Ecuador will close the day. I think it could be an interesting match, especially if Ecuadorians play at the same level they did against Germany.

Enjoy the drama!!!
