Good win for Colombia and some goal from Rodriguez which will please my son James no end when he sees it tomorrow! James 10 is his player for the tournament.

Very close shave for the Brazilians earlier.

[Captain Obvious]

Colombia could be the side to knock the Brazilians out.

[Denn Forever]

This was quite prophetic.
