World Cup 2014

Brazil is three matches away from clinching the World Cup victory that no other team has done in 16 years. Brazil is expected to win against Colombia in the quarter finals on Friday in Fortaleza.

Brazil has been the favourite team by both experts and fans alike, to emerge victorious in the tournament. The team has won 4 matches straight and still stands quite a chance in beating opponents in succeeding games. Brazil's match with Colombia, though, can prove a great challenge for Brazil. Brazil won two matches in the group games, and surprisingly conducted a draw against Mexico. In round 16, Colombia's shootout enabled Brazil to get past the impending challenge.

"It's normal to have people demanding that we play better," Brazil coach, Luiz Scolari, told reporters from the Associated Press "But it's also normal what we have been seeing in this World Cup so far. There were a lot of even matches. There is no difference between teams that have tradition and world titles and the rest of the teams. Matches are being decided on penalties, in the final minutes, on mistakes."

Colombia scored a-7 goal differential, against Ivory Coast, Japan, and Greece. Colombia easily aced things out in the quarter finals, claiming victory against Uruguay, 2-1.

James Rodriguez led Colombia with five goals to top just next to Netherlands, in terms of goal achievement. Rodriguez has been the player experts predict to possibly bring the desired outcomes for Colombia at the end of the World Cup in Brazil, with his smooth and strong moves in the field that can undoubtedly outdo any of the opponent team's players.
