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.
