Brazil v Colombia
34 players have gone for a Brazil win, 15 have gone for a draw and 8 players have gone for Colombia to win. The 2-1 Brazil win is the most popular prediction as 12 players have gone for that. There are also 8 players going for a 2-0 win and 7 for a 1-0 win. We have 8 players going for a 1-1 draw (with four players gambling on Colombia to win and four going for Brazil) and one player has gone for it to finish goalless (with a gamble on Brazil). 7 of the players backing Colombia have gone for a 2-1 win and the other player has gone for a 2-0 win. 6 of the 13 uber-max predictions are for a 2-2 draw (3 of those players have gambled on Brazil to make the semis, two have gone for Colombia and one player did not gamble). There are also five players going for a 3-1 Brazil win, whilst both the 3-2 and 4-0 wins have been selected once each.
basdfg, charlieparr, Cuishla, dazc, eugenespeed, familyguy8904, jake1981, neilwatson, Partyanimal, Realale, taurus_67 and WoodsMonk all went for Brazil to beat Colombia 2-1. A further 22 players also went for a Brazil win.

Today sees the other two quarter-finals being contested, starting with:
Argentina v Belgium
29 players have gone for Argentina to win, 24 have gone for a draw and 4 players have gone for Belgium to win. The 1-1 draw is the most popular prediction here as 14 players have gone for that (8 of those players have gambled on Argentina progressing, whilst four players have gone for Belgium and two players did not gamble). We also have 6 players going for it to finish goalless (with five of those gambling on Argentina making the semi-finals and one player going for Belgium). Both the 2-0 and 2-1 Argentina wins have been chosen by players each, whilst 7 players have gone for them to win 1-0 and two have gone for a 3-0 win. Two players have gone for Belgium to win 2-1 and one player has gone for them to win 2-0. Four of the 7 players going for an uber-max have gone for a 2-2 draw (two gambling on Argentina and two gambling on Belgium to make the semis). Two players have gone for Argentina to win 3-1 and one player has gone for a 3-2 Belgium win.
57 players stand to gain a 10 point bonus if Argentina make the semis, whilst one player has tipped Belgium.
charlieparr, digiremote, DimSum, LostFool, O'Neill, Terrence Chant and uls2000 all went for Argentina to beat Belgium 1-0. 22 other players went for the right outcome to score 6 points each.
With just one quarter-final remaining the leading scores from this round are:
So the two games I predicted to finish 1-1 both finished 1-0 to the team I predicted to go through after extra time/penalties and the other game I predicted 2-1 but to the wrong team...I sense a pattern here. Looks like Costa Rica will beat Netherlands 2-0.
Netherlands v Costa Rica
55 of the 57 predictions are for Netherlands to win this, whilst 1 player has gone for a draw and 1 player has backed Costa Rica to win. The most popular prediction is the 3-1 Netherlands win as 19 players have gone for that. There are 9 other players going for ubers: the 3-2, 4-0 and 4-1 wins have all been chosen twice, whilst the 5-0 and 6-0 wins have been picked once each. The only player going for a draw has gone for it to finish 2-2 with a gamble on Netherlands taking the remaining semi-final spot. Of the players not making an uber-max prediction 9 have gone for a 2-0 Netherlands win, whilst both the 2-1 and 3-0 wins have been picked by 8 players. Two players have gone for a 1-0 win. The only player tipping Costa Rica to win has gone for a 1-0 victory.
This match is set to produce the fewest correct semi-finalists prediction as 6 players tipped Netherlands to make it that far and no-one went for Costa Rica.
Hibs-kid-2007 is the only player scoring points as Netherlands and Costa Rica head into extra time. He didn't get the goalless scoreline spot on, so scores 6 points - half of which are now gambled on Netherlands winning after extra time/penalties.
