2014 World Cup Live Updates: Quarterfinals Day 2

3rd & 7 37yd

Maradona called out Higuain will he respond?

Dayumm really going to miss Rojo. The only man in all Argentina that actually threatens from set pieces.

by David Moyes via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:41:48 PM
Wynalda joining the chorus of anti-Klinsmann sentiment. He's the guy that killed Dempsey every chance he got years ago.

by Morty via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:41:52 PM
Think a BRA vs ARG final is written in the stars though I sooooo much want Belgium to win,they have some exciting well rounded players..saying that i go for a Belgium 2-1 win

by Mo via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:41:56 PM
RE: the poll. Tom can you add another option: none?

by go go Messi via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:42:32 PM
Guys, I have a goosebump-y feeling about this game. Maradona overshadowed his country's quarterfinal in '86 and I have a feeling Messi is about to do the same today...

by Mi Pana via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:42:36 PM
Just under 20 minutes to go now - predictions, please!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:42:56 PM
For what it's worth, I think Belgium will edge it 2-1.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:43:08 PM
sad for neymar :(

by sufyan via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:43:12 PM
Wynalda needed to go away after the free kick against Switzerland twenty years ago.

by nocalmatt via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:43:32 PM
Belgium 2-1 extra time

by bill via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:43:52 PM
Is Biglia for Gago a forced change?

by The Brush via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:43:56 PM
Brush, I think he's been dropped due to a poor performance against Switzerland. Most people think that's the correct decision - what about you lot?

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:45:05 PM
I think Belgium's mid field will boss the game. 2-0 Belgium

by Celery via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:45:09 PM
what is this talk about wynalda can anyone tell please

by sufyan via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:45:09 PM
I expect the refs to have an impact today which will help send Argentina through but will not be enough for the Costa Ricans.

by Morty via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:45:21 PM
Walked under a ladder . So crc gonna pip ned

Woke up this morning fretting over the lack of days we have left to spend together in the Boot Room...

by Honest Abe via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:45:25 PM
Abe, think of the stories you'll have though!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:45:41 PM
And you can keep the sayings for life.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:45:49 PM
I predict we are going to see a handball goal and a historic solo run. Can't a fan dream?

by Mi Pana via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:45:53 PM
Good Morning Tom and the Beard Room. Hope everyone enjoyed the 4th. Excited about the matches today? Hopefully we can see some crackers of a game

by Hammin Cheese via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:45:57 PM
Morning Hammin! I am indeed, hopefully it's a little better than Germany 1-0 France yesterday though.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:46:37 PM
1-0. Argentina to win, Messi to score.....again...

by go go Messi via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:46:37 PM
Messi magic to floor bel. Though want bel to win

by www via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:48:25 PM
It was a little lack luster of a game. Maybe more due to whats on the line at this point in the tourny

by Hammin Cheese via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:48:29 PM
Will Argentina rely on this man once more?

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:49:21 PM
Cavendish already out of Le Tour after crash today in Stage 1.

by Morty via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:49:37 PM
Aguero is on the bench. How is his fitness? Is he a realistic option if the Albiceleste need a goal late?

by Gnomadic via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:49:41 PM
Hello Tom and the boot roomers. Another day at the office.

by George James via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:49:45 PM
George, welcome back!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:49:50 PM
With Neymar out of the tourny due to a broken vertebrae, is there anyone that can step up in his place and make an impact?

by Hammin Cheese via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:49:58 PM
Hi Tom, today back to bootroom, what is your expected scores today for the matches?

by Papa Smurf via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:50:02 PM
Welcome Papa, I'm calling 2-1 Belgium & 1-0 Netherlands.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:50:18 PM
@mi pana obviously a fan can dream but that sounds a bit far fetched

by www via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:50:18 PM
Don't sleep on Costa Rica...refs will be on the lookout for Robben dive and one goal in extra time could win it

by Hitch4605 via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:50:22 PM
di Maria to play like a headless chicken and score. Messi will be escorted around the pitch by a couple of Belgian bodyguards.

by RMF via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:50:26 PM
Ten minutes until kick-off - Argentina fans are ready.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:50:54 PM
Not much love for Costa Rica.

by Jeff via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:52:26 PM
Hey Tom, what stats are we looking to demolish today on both sides?

by Seryx via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:52:30 PM
The odds are good for Belgium to win 2-1 Tom, go for it man!

by Papa Smurf via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:52:34 PM
Morning Tom! There has to be one upset today, right? Right??? I'm tired of seeing the favorites win every game.

by Mike via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:52:34 PM
The teams are out at Estadio Nacional de Brasilia, and both captains will now read FIFA's anti-discrimination message to the fans.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:53:18 PM
Origi...Origi...OrigiNALLLLLLLLL...

by RMF via ESPN 7/5/2014 3:53:22 PM
Did the announcer really just call this a spine tingling World Cup? Really man!
