Croatia goes through to quarterfinals

[cashew]

Japan falls at Round of 16 as predicted. Of course, it was a close one and came down to PK, but then Japan was absolute shit in those moments. Like, wow, it's pretty hard to be bad at PK, but Japan was very much bad at PK. At least aim for a more difficult corner FFS.

Anyway.

Brazil vs. Korea in the afternoon, and it's pretty unlikely that Brazil doesn't advance. I'll probably tune in periodically, but won't be watching it very seriously. (Just watch, now that I've written that, I'll have to eat my words or something because this World Cup has just been crazy.)

Edit to add: Yay, Brazil goes through. No silly upsets. Thank goodness.
