2014 World Cup: Round of 16

3rd & 7 37yd

Aaron, I'm going for 3-2 Argentina, and a 1-0 U.S. win in extra-time.

Morning TD and BR!

I BELIEVE... that MUFC will sign Vidal!

by Silver Creek Doug via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:38:48 PM
Tom, as a MUFC fan, I'm not entirely sold on spending such a large amount of money on Vidal. Is he worth it to get the midfield some quality?

by Skitten via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:38:52 PM
A little Vidal talk now - Skitten, he's worth every penny. If anything £45m is undervaluing him.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:39:16 PM
My Predictions today as follows:

Argentina 3 - 2 Switzerland
Belgium 1 - 2 U.S.

Messi will be Messi and i think US are in better form than Belgium at the moment

Those of you at work are poor planners.

by Jeff via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:39:20 PM
Jeff, that's not fair - I'm at work too...

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:39:32 PM
Thxs Tom.

by Aaron via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:39:36 PM
Good morning Boot Room and Tom!

by gq007ia via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:39:36 PM
Hey Tom and fellow boot roomers!

You've been my saviors for these past few weeks, on board once again for today's games!

by YP via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:39:40 PM
gq007ia, YP, glad to be of service!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:39:52 PM
Hi there all bootroomers. Di Maria has been very quiet, Argentina needs him to step up

by Gw via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:39:56 PM
So what are you guys looking forward to most in this game, Messi, Messi, Messi, Messi, or on the outside, one of the other 21 guys?

by ToddInTheShadows via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:40:00 PM
Are references to the colossal film flop "Manos: The Hands of Fate" appropriate here today as Argentina begins the knockout rounds?

by The Specious One via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:40:08 PM
Lallana YNWA!

by gq007ia via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:40:08 PM
Well Tom. You have a nice loophole, get paid to watch the games. Best of both worlds.

by Jeff via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:40:12 PM
Jeff, that's indeed true.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:40:16 PM
hellooooo, whos here today for this mighty fine boot room!

by union via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:40:20 PM
The Championnnnnsss. Oops, wrong tournament. Good day, BR.

by Schmeeboo via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:40:44 PM
I wish I could bring you all to with me when I go to the sports bar at 4. I love you all.

by ToddInTheShadows via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:40:48 PM
Todd, the feeling's mutual.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:41:00 PM
Vidal and Herrera...very, very enticing combo.

by Michael James via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:41:00 PM
The Man U prism refracts light differently with Van Gaal in place of Moyes.

by The Specious One via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:41:05 PM
Good evening tom!Eagerly looking forward to the USA bandwagon derailing today.

by Utkarsh Tripathi via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:41:08 PM
Utkarsh, I think the U.S. will actually win it.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:41:16 PM
Anyone think Fellaini will get frustrated and eventually sent off?

by Michael James via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:41:20 PM
There's an app for that.

by Jeff via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:41:24 PM
morning boot room, Tom! Anyone picking Sui to win this one today?

by Mac via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:41:24 PM
Hello fellow Boot Roomers!! Today's the big day!!!

by RKSmithy via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:41:28 PM
Wow, the Argentine 11 looks fantastic on paper - let's see what they can do. Would be nice to see the likes of Lavezzi, Higuain and Mascherano step up.

by BostonArsenalFan via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:41:28 PM
Tom, where are you today?

by Ryan via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:41:32 PM
Ryan, good old London! Where is everyone else in the GBR following the action today?

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:41:44 PM
Good morning/afternoon/evening Tom and the Boot Room!!! Hopefully 2 entertaining matches today with USA ultimately winning!

by Rugger via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:41:48 PM
Good morning/afternoon/evening Rugger!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:42:04 PM
@Skitten as a fellow united supporter, i would rather spend the money on Kroos

by Wally via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:42:08 PM
Tom, i going for 3-2 also for this match, but half time 0-0 again?

by Papa Smurf via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:42:08 PM
I am sorry, but who is taller? Messi or Shaqiri?

by Gw via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:43:25 PM
Argentina's gonna definitely win by like 2-1.

by Hiyo via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:43:33 PM
Tucson, Arizona here Tom.....

by RKSmithy via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:43:33 PM
Chicago, IL!

by Michael James via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:43:37 PM
I'm in a Downtown Chicago office. If we could open the window, we could probably hear the crowd in Grant Park.

by YP via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:43:37 PM
Tom, i will truly be devastated if USA does not win today. The journey must not end!!

by Danny Boy via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:43:41 PM
Joisey!

by Morty via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:43:57 PM
Oh my, it looks like Argentina have finally selected the correct tactics.

by Schmeeboo via ESPN 7/1/2014 3:44:01 PM
15 minutes to go now - are you ready?
