Brazil aren't very impressive, but then who is?; This world cup has yet to produce a game that will live in the memory for the quality of the football as well as for the drama. Great it most certainly is not.
Quarter Final: Brazil vs Colombia @ Fortaleza, 04.07.14 @ 9pm, ITV 1/HD

The only true threat to them is the ref for that semi. Brazil are there for the taking, they'd be out already if it wasn't for luck (Chile hitting the woodwork in injury time), and a homer of a ref (tonight).
Thanks Columbia, your contribution to this World Cup has been noted and greatly appreciated.
Pretty horrible game really, referee far too weak.
Brazil somehow continuing to stumble on in this tournament.

Can't stand Brazil, come on Germany!! Altho what would be better then Germany knocking them out is if Argentina beat them in the final!

This^^^^^
This Brazil team is horrible to watch, surely their fans can't be happy with the way they are playing? Unfortunately Colombia fell for their cynical tactics
Don't know about ITV but the RTE panel in Ireland are completely against Brazil and saying they hope they lose to Germany (because of the ugly and cynical nature of their game)
The panel reckons Brazil are under extreme pressure and that's why they're resorting to rough house tactics

I wouldn't like to be a member of the Rio police if that happens.

I could see that being a carbon copy of the Italia '90 final if it comes to fruition.

I'm hoping for a Germany vs Netherlands final, could get a wee bit tasty.
This 'James' thing is annoying me now.
Call him 'Hamez' as that's how it's pronounced or call him Rodriguez as we usually use the surnames for players.

I'd like that to happen but it won't, Argentina and Brazil will stumble into the final in all likelihood. How thoroughly dull and predictable.

If those two play like have been, that could be one dull final.

Dixon is saying it right. Wright is now calling him 'Jaam-ez'

Argentina and Brazil won't be any better judging on their performances so far.

Dixon sticks out like a sore thumb on ITV's football, he's too good for them.

If Brazil win the World Cup, most fans won't care how it was done.

What a stupid comment...it wouldn't have been 1-1, the score would have been 1-0, had the free kick not been awarded, the play would have been different, nothing to say Colombia would have gone on to get a penalty.
