England and Croatia advance

Two European teams were eliminated today (of course, some people will surely argue that this is because there are only European teams left in the tournament). In the first game today, Sweden (the survivor of the infamous Sweden-Swizerland elimination game) was easily dispatched by England. The second game pitted the host team Russia against Croatia. Russia and Croatia played well. The game was highly entertaining and when it looked like Croatia had already won, Russia came right back into the game (with a goal scored by a native South American, I must add). In the end, Croatia prevailed in the penalty shootout.

Mario Fernandes ties the game and forces the penalties.

There are no changes at the top of the standings. LucasA is 1st, Papa Patrick is 2nd, and pcasal3 and Will and Carlos (TCW) are tied in the 3rd place. The complete standings are here.
