FRIDAY

BRAZIL 2-1 COLOMBIA

Colombia have an early chance before Brazil score from a corner that no one gets near and Thiago Silva has a free run. Sanchez has lost his man and it is a very simple goal as it goes in off his shin.

Colombia has another shot at goal Cuadrado has the shot but Colombia do not look like they are giving in as he runs past defenders.  You feel in the next 10 minutes that a Brazil goal is coming as Brazil seem to have control of the rest of the half with shots from Neymar and Hulk. Half time Brazil 1-0 Colombia

Brazil seems to have control of the start of the second half so much pressure but no goal. They finally get the goal that they deserve as a Brilliant free kick from Luiz as the Colombians think that it is unfair.

 

Julian Ceasar brings James with a wild challenge down for a penalty. James scores the penalty 2-1 Brazil. Colombia does want to get back into this match but there are no real big opportunities for that to happen 

 

FRANCE 0-1 GERMANY

At the start of the game France looks to be off the pace and this is shown by an early Germany goal. A bad foul by Pogba leaves Germany a free kick. Hummels gets the better of Varine at the far post and put in the header 1-0.

 

France seems to be starting moves at the start of the match but there being no hope of them getting near the Germans. Klose had a chance to give the Germans a penalty but decides to stay on his feet. Frances first real chance comes on 35 as Neyer has to save from a very tight angle from a Valbuna shot. France also had a claim for a penalty but it was never near as Bensema connects with a header and the French think Hummels is supposed to have handled it but there was nothing there. Half time France 0-1 Germany.

Evra gets a half chance down the left hand side on 60 but Lahm clears it away. On 80 the Germans could have had a disaster og as the ball goes into the box and the Germans don’t know how to clear it. Shurrle had a dream chance to kill the game off just before full time but as the game ends you have to ask where the French challenge is.
