Glad to see Brazil win. Another first for me, watching a soccer game, which did not have the US playing.

This sport has too much flopping though, its hilariously bad and I watch the NBA.


Thats because controlling the ball with your feet is way harder than with your hand, you cant grab the ball with the foot, also the ball is always bellow your normal eyesight, you need to look down to see it, when you have it in your hands its easy to look foward and still see the ball. In other words ball controll with your feet is a pretty difficult task.

That has nothing to do with pretending someone hit you, when they really didn't or pretending to be in pain when you weren't really hurt.  It's all acting to try to get a favorable call.  Though you may just be confused by what I mean by flopping.

Yup, I didnt know it was a expression for when someone fakes a foul, RolStoppable pointed it out for me. In that case, ye ppl flop like theres no tomorrow on soccer and theres no excuse for it its just a blatant atempt to cheat.

I hope Colombia plays fair, or at least that the game has a better ref.

Brazil was playing well till 10min of 2nd half, but it seemed to be too nervous after Hulk's invalidated goal. I think Brazil will play way better against Colombia, because Colombia seems to be a more offensive and less violent team, although we haven't seen them playing againt a strong team this WC to know how they will act, but since their attack is way better than their defense, it will be probably a good game.

Great goal by James Rodriguez, it reminded me of Maxi Rodriguez goal against Mexico in 2006. What's the deal with the Rodriguez scoring like that?

Sad for Uruguay, they played so bad... I really wanted either them or Mexico to win this WC, anyway... Hope Mexico gets to the next round, find it difficult though...

Brazil must shut down, Rodriguez for Colombia. James Rodriguez two great goal to lead Colombia to Quarter Final show down against Brazil on Friday. Brazil saved twice by the post in lucky win against Chile on penalty shoot out.
