Same, not interested in the other game as much.
Tomorrow, however, I'll probably be watching both matches at the same time, big players, big games!
I have no choice in the matter, the Wife is watching her stuff on the other TV, although this is a lame excuse because I can watch it on my phone too, but eh, just don't feel it, watching the highlight on BBC sport.
A few days ago, I read a rather interesting - and thoughtful - interview with Kevin de Bruyne (in the Guardian/Observer) where (among other things) he was quite emphatic (if calm) about the fact that, in his view, Belgium would not shine at the World Cup, and that he did not expect them to do well.
Well, after all of that, the U.S. is the only one to advance. The class of Concacaf, I suppose.
Wow.
Germany has stumbled out of the World Cup; that is unexpected.
And I am delighted, by the way, to see a female referee officiating at a World Cup match, the vastly experienced Stéphanie Frappert, from France, in what is an historic first. (She had already served as one of the assistant referees, during the earlier Mexico v Poland match).
In fact, the entire refereeing team for this match was female, also a first, which I am also delighted to see.

Couldn't agree more. And they called a great game. Well done.
What a night of twist and turns. When it briefly looked like Spain and Germany could be going home I couldn’t believe it! How great that would have been (unless you are German or Spanish of course!).
I’ve offered my commiserations to my German colleagues.

@rain111, hopefully you got to see South Korea's winner. I've been watching the other game. The look on Luis Suarez's face when he saw South Korea had scored was priceless.
South Korea's winner was so reminiscent of Belgium's winner against Japan in the previous World Cup. Maybe stick to short corners so close to full time? Not that Portugal particularly cared in this case.
Ghana must be ruing the missed opportunity — the wind totally went out of their sails with the missed penalty, but they got a modicum of revenge in helping knock out Uruguay.
I've been enjoying the drama and outright chaos of these 3rd round games.

Thanks, I am just heading home and I just saw the game just ended, I am happy SKorea won and got through to the finals.
