Ah, thanks. That's the final I want now too.
I'll need to look up the draw again cause I've obviously completely forgotten it.

Yep, fair point - and I suppose it's doubly important to keep something in reserve when you're playing against a side who've experienced the physical exhaustion of playing 120 minutes and the mental exhaustion of going through a penalty shoot out.
There's the final whistle: a thoroughly deserved victory for Colombia courtesy of a fine team performance capped by two outstanding goals by James Rodriguez, who is not just currently the top scorer in the World Cup but currently the best player in the World Cup.
Their quarter final with Brazil promises to be an absolute belter.

Just a pity it's on ITV. I really hope someone gets Tyldesley a pronunciation guide before Friday so he learns that the player of the tournament so far is called Hames not Jaymes.
Well done Colombia, they certainly deserved the victory over the 90 minutes. Their two goals were fantastic.
Hopefully they can continue their fine form against Brazil next Friday night.

No doubt the manager will blame the stress of the Suarez saga and the way it affected the team for the defeat but their performance, or to be more accurate their conduct on and off the pitch has been nothing short of disgraceful.
In 1986, after Uruguay had fouled Scotland from first whistle to last to deprive them of a place in the second round of the World Cup, the head of the Scottish FA said that Uruguay was "the scum of world football".
28 years on, not much seems to have changed.

Think it will have more sparkle than this match we watched.
