Just for the record I don't care that European teams, bar the ones I cheered for, were knocked out and all this Europe vs SA bs is getting ridiculous. I for one would like Columbia to win it, they play nice, never have triumphed and have plenty of Serie a players. But the simple fact is that climate was extremely unfavorable for most teams coming from Europe, giving certain teams unfair advantage, overcompensating lack of talent of some others. Might be one of the reasons for relatively poor showing, but not the only one and still there were most European teams in the second round. Standard of officiating was poor and have been decisive factor in many outcomes (I am referring to all teams here), long and exhausting season for European clubs, etc... This WC has been entertaining thus far though.
