It is over! The USA have made it, in a Hollywood-style finish! View quote

You hope you come up with the odd memorable one. That's the best any of us could hope for. View quote

Here's Sanneh. The Americans, here. What a start for them, and this is number three! Brian McBride! View quote
Ian Darke
It just takes one moment to make the difference here for the USA of staying in this competition or leaving it. View quote
Ian Darke
Maybe my style is a bit more like an American style. I suppose I am more enthusiastic. View quote

Here's Götze! It's Mario Götze! It's Super Mario! He might just have won the World Cup, for Germany! View quote

I think he was greeted when he arrived at the hotel in Brazil by a topless model and a guy dressed as Donald Duck. View quote

Yeah they did, Bob. It was a classic final, and I think the old cliché? Football was the winner there; just a terrific match. Shattering defeat for the USA; so hard to take. But only the hardest heart, Julie? Would deny Japan that. I suppose you could have an inquest in the USA played so well for much of the game. Just seemed to get a little bit panicky when the finishing line was in reach. But, really that's? That's being a little bit picky, isn't it? Because they did ever so well here. I just think the ball had Japan's name on it. They were destined to win it. Uh, just a feeling? Bob, I think Japan won rather more than just a soccer match here. View quote

Oh, it is an absolute firecracker from Giovanni van Bronckhorst! One, nil! Holland! (Ian Darke)
I think it's a sort of morbid fascination, for the Brazil fans now. They've paid a lot for their tickets, they're going to see it, whatever the story. I don't think they'll be watching a replay when they get home, somehow. How good are this German team? View quote
Ian Darke
USA valiant effort, but no hard luck story. Better team won. Last 16 is about as good as U. S. are, but well respected team now. View quote
Ian Darke
But you have concerns about that back line, don't you, Taylor? View quote
Ian Darke
The dynamic of the group changes totally if the U. S. can hold on here. Gyan with a lovely ball, though. André Ayew, equalizes! It's a superb goal, to break American hearts! The resistance is broken! View quote
Ian Darke
Oh, talk about lightning striking twice. Another goal scrubbed out for the United States. View quote
Ian Darke
I think one word we can agree Bob is, uh? Epic, classic. Thriller, block-buster. I think all the clichés were made real. I mean? You woke up this morning, saying you felt nervous about this game. Now, I know why. View quote
Ian Darke
This is over. No way back for Japan, who in my view are lucky to make this final. View quote

Andre Almeida. Back in, by Veloso. Oh, it's a miscue to Nani! Oh my goodness, me! The USA pressed the 'self-destruct' button there! A catastrophe in the U. S. defense. View quote
Ian Darke
I'm just kind of glad people seem to like the way I do it. View quote

Will the goal never come? (Ian Darke)
Oh, and some nasty stuff in there! It looked to be a bite, almost. Holyfield is very unhappy, look at this! It looked as if Tyson bared his teeth at one stage in the exchange. He bit his ear! Well, feelings are running very, very hot indeed in there. Holyfield was outraged by that. Now what is the referee going to do about that? One point deduction for Tyson! One point deducted from Mike Tyson, for biting Holyfield's ear. Now, let's take a look again. Well, this is getting like a street fight. View quote

The experienced Stewart with the corner here for the United States. Here's Brian McBride, it's not away on O'Brien! Gives the United States the lead inside four minutes! View quote
Ian Darke
It's a crushing right hand and that must finish it! It must finish it! Tyson cannot get up from that, surely. He will be counted out. Lennox Lewis seals his place in history forever and closes the book on Mike Tyson! View quote
Ian Darke
I don't know what everybody back home is like watching this, but I'm very tense. I'll tell you that. View quote
