Neymar is injured and worries Scolari for the next match.

You could tell from after that tackle in the starting minutes that he wasn't himself, the doctor said his right thigh is double it's size.

@PedroFlu
That's what u are supposed to do when u face Brazil. Aranguiz did it in a masterful way, it was fast and it didn't look bad at first. If all teams manage to do this, Brazil stands absolutely no chance at all.

That defense will soooo cost Colombia one of these days. Even the slow serie A teams are destroying Zuniga, Armero and the AC Milan superstars Yepes and Zapata. But it won't matter much, since the quarters are a great achievement for Colombia.
they are gonna have to cope with what they got - not every NT is so lucky to be able to field a trio of world class players like Chiellini, Barzagli and Bonucci at the back. What was it, iirc - world's best defense a year or two back?

Anyways, petty jabbing aside, you defend and attack as a team - the one principle you gotta master if you wanna succeed in team sports. How Colombia do from now on is not gonna come down to what the back 3-4 players do but how the whole team does it's job in defense and attack. That's all that matters - how those pieces fit in one team, not how good or bad they may be separately, which let's face it is always subjective.

Something Brazil might have to learn to do on the fly, especially if Neymar can't make it for next game, 'cause all they've do so far is defend with the back 4, attack with the front 3 and the 3 mids have done jack all besides looking pretty in the sun.

    Cavani to make the world forget about suarez
    :touched: Now that Uruguay is out, you're probably right.

    I am happy for Cavani.
    :agree:

    He'd do better not to perform somersaults a meter into the air when getting touched by an opponent.

    I have no idea how that defense is holding it together. It's all sorts of bubble gum and rubber bands on Colombia's backline.

    But Ospina now is looking like a genius for not renewing his contract with Nice.

    Two cousins, one cup. Sochi style.
    Byrone goes into the kitchen one day and run up to his mum. "Mummy, mummy, Grandma's got a prawn between her legs!"
    "Pardon, darling?" "Grandma's got a prawn between her legs!" "Okay, show me"
    They both walk into the living room, where they find Grandma fast asleep and looking very pleased. Her knickers are missing and her skirt has ridden up so that nothing is left to the imagination.
    "See Mummy? A prawn," says the little boy, pointing between his gran's splayed legs. "No, darling that's something special women have."
    "But Mummy," says the little boy, looking confused. "It tasted like a prawn."
