Belgium 2-1 United States of America AET
Well...that was a bit epic wasnt it? And had Everton all over it! From former Blue Marouane Fellaini clearly doing something to upset bitter Kopite commentator Danny Murphy, and getting involved in everything, Tim Howard making a World Cup record 15 saves in the match to keep on denying Belgium, Kevin Mirallas coming on as a sub and giving Belgium much more life in the second half, before at lastm the final word went to former 9and hopefully future?) Blue Romelu Lukaku. Came on as a sub at the start of extra time, and by half time, set up Kevin De Bruyne, and scoring a second himself. US sub Julian Green pulled one back for the USA early in extra time second half to set up an epic last 10 minutes, but it was the Belgians who went through to face Argentina in the Quarter Finals on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Howard has spawned a meme all of his own, get a look at #ThingsTimHowardCouldSave! And just to round off a symmetrical couple of day, our pther right back, Tony Hibbert has signed a 2 year contract extension.
