After two whole days with no football we're back with some seriously tasty Quarter Final action.  This is the first game and it's a clash of two European heavyweights. The French nation will be pleased that they managed to avoid a total meltdown and get out of the group stages and they have a great opportunity to progress against a German side that before the tournament many would peg as favourites in this match up. However in the previous round France probably looked more convincing against Nigeria with a 2-0 win whereas the Germans needed extra time to dispatch Algeria 2-1. Also there appears to have been some sickness affecting the German camp, with seven players having 'a bit of a cold'. What impact this will have on the game remains to be seen.  there is some history between these two great nations The second game is:  Colombia have been one of the teams of the tournament so far, playing attractive football, scoring great goals and in James Rodriguez they have an outstanding player who has scored some wonderful goals and is right in the mix for the golden boot. Brazil have done enough so far without setting the tournament alight, the country might be set alight if they don't win. Massive game.

Brazil and Colombia has a 2,000km border but no road connects the two countries. Not very good friends.

I think The Sack and his mates will fight for their reich to party. I doubt the French have enough resistance. I'd love to see Columbia do Brazil. I think it's a 50/50 shot.

 Quarterfinals refchatWe have an interesting set today as the All UEFA match is refereed by a non-UEFA referee (from CONMEBOL) for the first time this tournament and an all CONMEBOL match refereed by a dude from UEFA. France x Germany Ref: Nestor PITANA (ARG) AR1: Hernan MAIDANA (ARG) AR2: Juan Pablo BELATTI (ARG) 4th: Jonas ERIKSSON (SWE) RAR: Mathias KLASENIUS (SWE) I said Eriksson would be back! Anywho, Pitana has had a pretty good tournament IMO. His three previous matches include Russia x South Korea, USA x Portugal, and Honduras x Swtizerland. Being from Argentina, his tournament could very easily be done after this match. There is an unwritten rule that if your team makes the semi-finals you become unavailable for selection for the final four matches. This could be the last CONMEBOL referee we see with a whistle at this tournament unless Brazil gets eliminated, in which case Ricci might get one of the last four. Brazil x Colombia Ref: Carlos VELASCO (ESP) AR1: Roberto ALONSO (ESP) AR2: Juan Carlos YUSTE (ESP) 4th: Svein MOEN (NOR) RAR: Kim HAGLUND (NOR) Surprised is definitely a word I would use to describe the selection of Velasco to a QF match. Previously he was on Uruguay x England and Bosnia x Iran, and in neither case did he really stand out. I didn't think he had the greatest of performances in the first of those matches, either. But, all the same, with Spain eliminated, a good match here could see Velasco have his hat in the ring for a chance at the final. Well, that is assuming that FIFA thinks its possible to give the match to anyone that isn't Ravshan Irmatov. I'll talk plenty about him tomorrow because somehow he has a QF match as well. Anyway, I'm a little worried about Velasco in this match, so hopefully he proves me wrong.

I'd like to see France & Colombia win but I know the opposite will happen. If they do pull it off though, it could become likely a team will win the WC for the first time in their history (I know Spain did it last time but we can all agree that was poo poo) which would be cool and good e: also i like you ref knower guy
