It look like it deflected off the defender. It was a pretty turn in traffic.

Uruguay will not be able to keep up this pace. Neither of these teams will beat Brazil.

Wrong. Columbia will.

Heard on sports radio that everyone is expecting Altidore to play against Belgium!

Brazil has been bad. Colombia has been amazing. Not sure what you are seeing in Brazil

Brazil has been playing to the level of their competition. Uruguay has outplayed Columbia most of the second half without Suarez which shows their lack of conditioning. Columbia played the easiest group in the tournament. Columbia will melt under Brazil ' s attack.

I would say France had the easiest road to advancing as #1, but Columbia definitely didn't have a difficult path. However, Columbia was much more impressive to me in group play and impressed in their win today. Unless Brazil plays their absolute best game, Columbia will beat them.

lol. Pretty obvious Colombia were satisfied with sitting on the lead. Brazil's attack? Do you mean Neymar? Brazil has the worst set of strikers left in the tournament.

Fred has to be one of the biggest disappointments of the WC so far. He was fantastic at the Confederations Cup last summer, but he's been a ghost so far this year.

Blows my that VH is so enthralled in their attack.

 

[Persian Vol]

Brazil is clearly the more talented team than Colombia, although Colombia has a group if very talented players as well. The problem with brazil is their ineffiency on offense. They create so many good looks but fail to finish because of the lets be honest... Absolute suckage of Fred and Jo. I think they should have a two striker formation and put neymar and hulk up top while freeing speedy wings in William and Bernard to come across the outside. That's what I do while playing fifa at least haha

That would be huge!

Also, Hulk is so over-rated IMO and he is the biggest guy out there and knocked off the ball easily.

 

[BigOrangeCrush32]

James Rodriguez's goal was the GOAL of the WC for me...so far.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Hope the Mexico Holland match is competitive.

In the 2nd half he was making really good runs creating chances. Also had the goal that got called back because of a handball.

Yeah he looked a lot better in the second half.

Me too but the Dutch have looked fierce so far in the WC

 

[volball625]

Mexico wins today. At the very least, it's going to be tight. Mexico has looked very good this World Cup.

 

[IrieVol]

Go Oranje take down El Tri!!

 

[Toujours Pret]

Mexico's National Anthem isn't "La Cucaracha"?

 

[CountVolcula]

I'm going for the USA, but if they don't make it, I want The Netherlands to win based on uniforms alone

 

[volball625]

Holland is literally letting Mexico walk the ball into the attacking third every time the Mexicans have the ball.

Anyone else perplexed by this?
