Here's the match stats, for anyone saying that Colombia were as bad as Brazil http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/round=255953/match=300186461/index.html#overview#nosticky.

Bear in mind that Colombia had about 3 offside fouls, and brazil none, so effectively Brazil did 1,5x as many fouls as Colombia, without even considering the difference in violence.

Also hilarious - Neymar gets "fouled" every time and goes doen rolling, crying, attention seeking.

Gets actually injured, doesnt move.

Let that be a lesson to you.


Neymar and Mueller on the same pitch is gonna be fun. Expect lots of crying.

I also love how Brazil's players kept fouling James over and over and over again...

Well there's some criticism with the Referee, but whatever Brazil played well so... Good Game Brazil!.

Offsides don't count as fouls, do they?


No they show as ofsides on the statistics, not as fouls.

You know, every social network makes fun of Neymar's drama, I'm sure he is fine.


He has been transfered to a hospital, there are suspects that he has a fracture on his back. He is moving his legs tough as per the last report so it didnt affect his nervous system it seens.

Brazil did earn the win.. They were better.. It was a mistake from colombia to also play the same high tempo in the first half.. Don't think Germany will fall in that trap and play smarter vs brazil

Germany x Brazil is the most unpredictable game a world cup can have, the two world cup monsters (ye Italy has more titles than Germany but Germany is way more consistant). Anything can happen in a game liek that.

 

And Brazil played a great match today, ye there was pressure in the end, but this is a World Cup, nobody goes down whithout swinging and Colombia fought hard to the last wistle, nevertheless Brazil played the football it was suposed to be playing the whole world cup, its gona be a great match next Thusday.

Even that being the case, Brazil still did an heftier amount of fouls than Colombia. 

Edit - Why are people saying that just because some of us are pointing out that the referee was way more permisive towards Brazil, we're automatically saying that Colombia was robbed? Colombia did deserve to lose, the were completely outplayed by Brazil especially in the first half. 

Just because A (Brazil playing much better than Colombia) happens, doesn't mean that B is automatically invalidated (Brazil played more violently than Colombia which the referee allowed).
