    Brazil 0 Colombia 0

    Pens 0-0 after 5 pens each, keeper scores the 10th pen after other keeper dies of boredom.

    Forever the pessimist!

    Actually, fancy a 2-2 draw after 90 mins, Colombia win on pens.

    If my prediction success rate continues, that means Brazil will win.

    Good game but could have been a brilliant game but spoiled by worst ref I've seen at this WC. - would have blown his whistle even if players were kissing each other!

    I missed both of the games due to being at work. Caught some highlights and the Germany v France game looked grim but Brazil v Columbia looked a decent tussle.

    Shocking some of the challenges that passed without a booking! With Neymar out of the tournament now and Thiago suspended, they'll need that extra bit of help they keep on getting again in the semi-final. Hopefully Germany turn up and give them a hiding!

    Brazil have the home team advantage and with a stadium packed full of Brazilian fans the refs come under intimidation and turn a blind eye to their chop em down tactics.

    FEEL SO SORRY FOR NEYMAr oops! CL
    That referee wants shooting, fernandinho should have been sent off at least three times, there were so many fouls from both sides, hope that ref gets banned for a poor poor performance.

    Brazil will struggle without neymar and silva, but if the germs fancy playing properly they could easily beat brazil now.
    (only argentina,germany or holland will be world cup champions now)

    So today (for all you betting fans - just bet on the opposite of what i say)
    Argentina 4---Belgium 1.... In normal time....

    Holland 4 V Costa rica 2 In normal time...

    Wow so today an 11 goal fest :j In VPs world.
