Quarter-Final: Brazil vs Colombia

Brazil - Chile poll result perfect matched with the outcome. Lets see what happens this time   

Agree with Gil. This place is crawling with Brazil haters. A lot of posters have serious agendas against Silva, Luiz and Oscar. Bore off.

I have to agree with this. It's not just GL, it seems to be everywhere on the internet. The amount of conspiracy shouts that were going on in the international media after the Croatia game was ridiculous, especially after the media silence that followed the even more controversial Cameroon-Mexico game.

I have no idea what people's problem is.

Go Colombia... and no, this Brazilian team is by no means better than the 1994 team (on paper and even on the way they play).

PS: Just for laughs... Colombia got lucky that Romania didn't qualify over Greece in the playoffs, remember 1994 and 1998 World Cups ...

Colombia are very impressive.  They may eliminate Brazil, they are a better team.  But, the referees are influenced by the situation.  Interesting that most of the players are from La Liga and Serie A.

After the Chile game I will secretly laugh behind my monitor every time i see someone mentioning how the refs will purposely make mistakes to benefit us.

Some people just can't stop this kind of nonsense. It was bad enough that fans, players and coaches tried to blame the referee for every important loss suffered but the recent fashion is to go one step beyond and allege a conspiracy by Fifa or Uefa to specifically derail their team's prospects. Maybe they think that can buy them some sympathy from some so called fans of theirs but for me it would be really great if any player or coach making a comment like that in the media were to be tightly slapped then and there in full public view.

Heard Felipao is experimenting with 3 at the back with Henrique (Dante ) joining David Luiz, Thiago Silva, Marcelo and Dani Alves at the back. Fernandinho, Paulinho and Oscar in midfield. Hulk and Neymar upfront.

*Maicon trained instead of alves in that team

He experimented that formation, but it's just a possibility.he is probably going with the same as always with Paulinho instead of Gustavo.Paulinho has been destroying in training after he got dropped. Marcelo is a doubt for the game btw.Maybe we will get more clues from the press conference tomorrow.

In more news from Colombia,Bacca might start.

want Brazil to win this.   

Hames to break Brazilian hearts.
Can't wait for it.

Nerman to break Brazil haters and underdog lovers hearts

Brazil are going to play with the golden kits,Colombia with red.Now I think we got this

btw, some reports saying that we will only have about 5000 colombians in the stadium
(not completely trusted info though since I read there were 7000 Argentina fans on the Switzerland game and that wasn't true)

Wtf Scolari will drop Luiz Gustavo? And Neymar is not a doubt anymore?

Neymar is fine.Gustavo is suspended

To be honest I want Brazil to win the World Cup, if not just because I love the country and its culture but because of the amount expectation that the players are going through. I have NEVER in my life seen such expectation for a team to win, its almost as if it must be a formality or all hell will break loose.

Plus Ghana and England are knocked out    and as much as I love Germany, Loew keeps being stupid with the lack of width

I really hope Brazil win this.

Stop the James hype in its tracks.

I hope this will end a scoreless draw and then go to lots of penalties ^^

This will be such a good game and Brazil will be a very tough opponent. Playing like shit all tournament means nothing now.

If Brazil wants to show up they will.

lol Could you imagine if Colombia win though?

I don't get the problem with the "james hype"
He's having a great tournament thus far so I don't get the hate he's getting for being in the spotlight

These type of responses are a norm in GL's society. usually a group of people tend to provide a counter influence to excessive hyping of a player, this process is called dehyping, whatever they're being just a hipster or genuinely trying to warn others to not get too excited remains unknown.

James deserves all the hype he's been getting, appreciate don't hate.

Plus i fail to see how Brazil winning equates to stopping the hype, its a team game and if Brazil win it doesn't mean James performances were overhyped.
