World Cup 2014

well, maybe Neymar

I want to adopt that locust tbh

Maicon was a good call.

Colombia were really rumbled at the beginning. This crowd are amazing, usually worth a goal by themselves.

omg nn that is O_O

wtf NN

ref called every minor infraction but did at little as possible to discourage them. surely one of the worst ways to manage a game.

Argentina - Belgium and Costa Rica - Netherlands both won't be as fast as this but not as slow as FRA-GER either I bet

This is why COL lost. A HUMUNGOUS predatory beast landed on Rodriguez' arm after he scored

Million xps but can't get through ffs

world cup needs more lumps kicking out of flair players, excellent call

I'm sure it was working for the Brazilians

Am I cynical or the hugging Brazil gave to Hames are somewhat patronizing?

Arg-Belgium will be realllly slow imo

ref was way too lenient -- he needed to hand a couple of yellow cards and things would've been pegged back a bit.

Nostromo, agreed: Luiz seemed to enjoy that a tad too much.

@tejucole
Side-eye all the ladies and gentlemen offering to console, really console, James Rodríguez.

A couple of cards in the 1st half, towards the end.

54 FOULS!!

ah c'mon, you have to give Luiz that one. He's only a kid

My boy Wrighty going with Zha-mes, the levee cannot hold

and dixon

pretty sure Neymar had himself carried off because he was shitting himself they were gonna equalize

nah, ian wright keeps calling him 'jamas

not sure what's wrong jim tbh

Watching replay after replay, still don't think that second was a free kick.

let's all hope neymar really is dead

Dermot Corrigan @dermotmcorrigan
Neymar taken straight to hospital from stadium according to @AS_AGabilondo who says Brazilian media saying "it does not look good"

jesus
xp

it was definitely a free btw. Not a yellow

top stuff from sam allardyce's brazil.

Brazil are hateful.

yeah it was a free kick, yellow was harsh in circs but consistent with ref being a homer, sorry for impugning Neymar's bottle and fingers crossed he's ok

What's even thr point of Brazil going through without Neymar and Thiago tbf? Colombia better team in every aspect to me.

there's nothing wrong with Brazil really, Germany will probly do them given anything like an even playing field, but Rodriguez has had an exceptional tournament and it's hard to see it finish

Not today they weren't
xp

if one or two of James' team mates had stepped up they'd probly have won, thought Cuadrado was especially poor tonight

yeah, he was a disaster

Neymar's cd be a ruptured kidney

Germany had better waste them

whilst there have been better teams who i wd've prefered to win, eg Chile and Colombia, i'm still not really gettin the full-on Kill Brazil hysteria

they're shite m8

and yet here we are

did anyone even spot fred on the pitch tonight?

he's shaved his moustache, i was sad

brazil are big floppy turds

Nothing against brazil, I just preffer the underdog.

Also, it would be nice to see the world cup given to someone new

Yeah they should give it to Germany

Which is new in a way..

Brazil got through because Chile and Colombia lack big game experience. The defending for the first Colombian goal was atrocious. Ditto Chile. Incredibly ugly goals.

They did control the game, then as soon as they got the 2nd Brazil (great free kick, and the tournament has lacked those) chose to sit back and give possession. All their performances are schizophrenic, to say the least.

I'm rooting for Brazil and Argentina tbh

Pray 4 Neymar

Germany should be heavy faves - lots of experience, lots of big tourney hurt.

No outstanding centre back though - be interesting to see what their 15 mins is like compared to Chile and Colombia. Should be more assured but that crowd can unnerve..

How serious was that foul on Neymar? He's probably not 100% fit by this point but he has to be there. Maybe he can borrow Suarez's wheelchair.
