To add insult to injury, it was one of our guys who was responsible for Neymar's exit from the World Cup. I am a little disgusted with Zuniga's comments about the tackle.
I do agree. One thing is to defend your shirt; another to take matters into your own hands.

But I´m shocked that Neymar was diagnosted with a lumbar fracture, that happens when a referee loses the control over the match and don´t shows yellow cards in such a hard game.
But IMO Brazil wasn´t guiltless that the game was running in this direction, they initiated this hard game with a lot of own hard fouls. Colombia looked frightened on Brazil´s fouls in the first half, and in the second half they paid it back with the same weapons. It´s a shame that the referee don´t stopped this before it was running out of control.
Definitely FIFA needs to change the rules of engagement. Great referees are never seen or heard, but only when necessary. In this World Cup, officials have been horrible. Some for being too strict and some for being too lenient. FIFA needs to up its game big time. We all want to see the players and their soccer abilities at the center stage; and not the referees with their mediocre calls. It is time to move into this century for Christ sake!

I've wanted Brazil to lose from day 1. They're such an unlikable team compared to previous years.

Germany for me too. This Brasilian team are boring and lacking flair compared to previous squads.

Hoping for a German Dutch Final.

I agree, Brazil is really disappointing. In the past years I always loved to see the Brazilian teams, it was fun to see their fantastic skills with the ball.
The current team has only one resolution for every situation, it is to make a foul.
The only player with the magic from past teams is Neymar, and unfortunately he is out.

I gotta stick with South America. That said, I'm okay with a German win... just not a Dutch one.
