quarter final soccer part one and a milestone

the first two quarter final matchups happened and both were very tight. england and france went the full 90 minutes plus extra time tied at one. they went to penalty kicks and france won out 4-3. in the other one today, japan and germany went into extra time an japan got the only goal in the 108th minute and also moved on. tomorrow it will be sweden vs australia and u.s. vs brazil. these games will determine the semi finals.

meanwhile derek jeter of the new york yankees got two hits - the second being a home run - to get to 3000 hits in a career. the home run got the milestone. congrats to derek jeter
