:01:17. > :01:23.Rodriguez! Benzema, into the roof of the net! Thomas Muller with a
:01:24. > :01:26.beauty! Hello everyone, they have lit up the tournament with 16 goals
:01:27. > :01:31.between them but tonight we say goodbye to two of the World Cup is
:01:32. > :01:34.back brightest stars. Coming up, Brazil against Colombia and Germany
:01:35. > :01:38.against France for a place in the semifinals. Joining us in the
:01:39. > :01:45.studio, Mark Lawrenson alongside Tim Vickery and Chris Wood will. In the
:01:46. > :01:48.day's early game, it was the battle of two European heavyweights as
:01:49. > :01:53.Germany took on France at the Maracana. Germany were looking to
:01:54. > :02:03.make their fourth straight World Cup semifinal. COMMENTATOR: France have
:02:04. > :02:08.everyone fit. Griezmann starts his third game here with Arsenal's
:02:09. > :02:19.Olivier Giroud dropping to the bench. Liverpool's Sakho fit again,
:02:20. > :02:25.preferred to Arsenal's Laurent Koscielny. I asked Arsene Wenger if
:02:26. > :02:29.he knew why Per Mertesacker was missing, if he was one of the seven
:02:30. > :02:32.German said to be suffering from flu. He has not heard from his
:02:33. > :02:40.Arsenal centre-half. The German press believe it is a tactical
:02:41. > :02:51.decision. Balloting in the centre and Lahm shuffled to right back --
:02:52. > :03:02.Boateng in the centre. Patrice Evra, head down, Benzema on
:03:03. > :03:16.the edge of the penalty area behind him. Not a great header away. Lahm
:03:17. > :03:21.shovels it out only as far as Pogba. Cab
:03:22. > :03:31.it was an effort that fizzed wide from Benzema. Great little ball from
:03:32. > :03:36.Valbuena. A quick look, linked into the feat. Should have done better. I
:03:37. > :03:47.am not really sure why he has gone with the side foot. Schweinsteiger
:03:48. > :03:52.to Ozil. He scored against Algeria in the last round. That is a free
:03:53. > :04:00.kick, a nudge from Pogba. A big occasion for Pogba. 21.
:04:01. > :04:11.Kroos with the free kick, and it is 1-0! Hummel has got up from the
:04:12. > :04:19.back! And Germany lead! Mats Hummels. In a competition of
:04:20. > :04:24.wonderful goals it is an old-fashioned centre-half getting
:04:25. > :04:28.up. Not unlike the goal Marouane Fellaini scored for Belgium. Similar
:04:29. > :04:33.position, great ball income and a clever header the position he is in.
:04:34. > :04:43.Scored against Portugal, has another, and Germany lead. Ozil.
:04:44. > :04:55.Schweinsteiger. Sami Khedira, looking for Muller. The ball came
:04:56. > :05:01.across Muller, he had to change his stride, which enabled lorries to
:05:02. > :05:06.come and collect. Playing some lovely approach football. They are,
:05:07. > :05:13.but I will say France are still a threat, especially when Valbuena
:05:14. > :05:22.gets on the ball. Here's Griezmann. Pulls it back to Valbuena. The save
:05:23. > :05:29.comes out to Benzema. A little bit fortunate, having made the initial
:05:30. > :05:35.fine stop. A brilliant save, this. A good ball in as well, this is.
:05:36. > :05:50.Griezmann with the touch. Here's Matuidi.
:05:51. > :06:02.Patrice Evra was Max 62nd cap. Joachim Low looks on. Evra took the
:06:03. > :06:06.throw, Valbuena has won a free kick. That is exactly what he has done, he
:06:07. > :06:10.has won the free kick. Schweinsteiger can't believe it.
:06:11. > :06:12.There seem to be nothing in that at all from Schweinsteiger but France
:06:13. > :06:19.now have an opportunity to draw level. 49 minutes gone. Valbuena
:06:20. > :06:25.with it, took it quickly, Germany completely switched off and Evra got
:06:26. > :06:32.in behind, and the flag stayed down. He got absolutely nothing on it
:06:33. > :06:37.whatsoever. They are off, aren't they? Two or three of them seem to
:06:38. > :06:44.be. May be the linesman's problem on the far side is the light and the
:06:45. > :06:50.shade. Valbuena, a good start to the second half by France, Matuidi, he
:06:51. > :06:54.overran it. Goalkick. I think he was anticipating a touch from a defender
:06:55. > :07:03.as well. I think he was hoping, as much as anticipating. I think it is
:07:04. > :07:05.quite obvious what Deschamps said at half-time, raised the tempo and the
:07:06. > :07:26.pace of this game. Matuidi was looking for Griezmann.
:07:27. > :07:30.It was cut out. It is a poor header by Boateng in the first place that
:07:31. > :07:39.put the French on the attack. They got away with it, Germany. Valbuena
:07:40. > :07:46.with the corner for France. Benzema is in there, it is very long. Away
:07:47. > :08:01.by Schweinsteiger to Yohan Cabaye. The cross in, Varane. The goalkeeper
:08:02. > :08:05.will be glad he has had something to do. Germany over the years have so
:08:06. > :08:09.rarely lost in the knockout stages from this sort of position. What
:08:10. > :08:14.this game is lacking at the moment is a little bit of energy. They have
:08:15. > :08:26.gone flat, very flat. Oh. That is a mistake, Schurrle, it has to be a
:08:27. > :08:39.corner. It is a corner. Everyone in the stadium can see the deflection.
:08:40. > :08:46.1998, his team beat Italy at the stage on penalties. Lovely ball by
:08:47. > :09:00.Varane. Benzema took it down. Brilliant block. Evra. Beyond
:09:01. > :09:04.Khedira. Neuer comes. Gathers. What a difference the shout from the
:09:05. > :09:07.defender. I just wonder if Benzema had let the ball run through to
:09:08. > :09:16.Valbuena, it might have had a different outcome. He did well,
:09:17. > :09:26.great block by Hummels. Loic Remy. Benzema. Matuidi. The goalkeeper got
:09:27. > :09:32.everything behind it. A comfortable save.
:09:33. > :09:38.Matuidi. Griezmann through the middle, there is Benzema, Evra
:09:39. > :09:52.started the run. He was fouled by Schurrle. This time he is saying he
:09:53. > :10:00.didn't. Ten minutes to go. France have got seven players in the
:10:01. > :10:05.opposition's penalty area. Some -- it is a competition where we have
:10:06. > :10:12.seen so many late goals. The whole complexion of games completely
:10:13. > :10:17.changed. Valbuena with it. It bounced off a German. Looks like it
:10:18. > :10:23.is Hummels. It was headed against him. By the left-back, I think.
:10:24. > :10:26.Valbuena with it, Griezmann tight on the goalkeeper who comes and
:10:27. > :10:31.gathers. Brilliant, what a difference that makes, pressure off,
:10:32. > :10:38.break, here we go, you we go! Muller, beyond Debussy. Ozil, to me,
:10:39. > :10:44.looked at least three out of sight. Back towards Muller, he has missed
:10:45. > :10:51.it, Schurrle has missed it! What a chance. Germany saw the semifinal
:10:52. > :10:58.beckoning. It was on, I think. It was on. When eventually it comes to
:10:59. > :11:07.Schurrle, he can have another touch if he wants. Not on his favoured
:11:08. > :11:14.foot. Have a little touch. Don't panic, Mr Mannering. Lloris has just
:11:15. > :11:23.kept France in the World Cup. Muller. Away from the stumbling
:11:24. > :11:29.Evra. Schurrle is there, pulled off his marker, Schurrle to finish it!
:11:30. > :11:35.Varane with the block! It hit him as much as anything, but it worked.
:11:36. > :11:45.Griezmann. Benzema, need something special from him, Karim Benzema.
:11:46. > :11:53.Neuer, one-handed, almost nonchalant. Pogba. Matuidi wants it.
:11:54. > :11:59.Benzema awaits. Oh, it is a terrible ball, their chance is gone. Well, I
:12:00. > :12:01.think Benzema has got to go low and hard across the goalkeeper. He is
:12:02. > :12:06.not going to score from there, sorry. There is a whole host of
:12:07. > :12:12.players in there as well, if he pulls it back. And he knows, look.
:12:13. > :12:21.France are the letting out. Germany are through to a
:12:22. > :12:29.record-breaking fourth semifinal in a row. The goal by centre-back Mats
:12:30. > :12:32.Hummels after 13 minutes enough, and the campaign for France ends, and
:12:33. > :12:35.they will know this is a game they might have won, had they been more
:12:36. > :12:41.aggressive, more adventurous, but it is Germany who roll on again,
:12:42. > :12:49.inexorable, to the last four of a World Cup. France zero -1 Germany. I
:12:50. > :12:53.am happy, a little bit tired of course because was such a hard
:12:54. > :12:57.fight, but we are very happy. We now have enough time to prepare for the
:12:58. > :13:01.semifinals and we hope to go through and win the title. There is not a
:13:02. > :13:10.big difference between Germany and France. But maybe we miss a bit of
:13:11. > :13:14.experience. Germany are used to playing that kind of competition.
:13:15. > :13:19.They are used to going very far in that kind of competition, and they
:13:20. > :13:25.showed it today. We have a lot of things to improve after that, and I
:13:26. > :13:31.hope it will help us for the Euros entrance. How important was your
:13:32. > :13:34.goalkeeper today? He is always very important, because he is always at
:13:35. > :13:39.100%, he is always there when something happened. He gathered some
:13:40. > :13:42.good saves today as well, so of course he is very important, she is
:13:43. > :13:47.the best and we are very glad that we have him. Gentlemen, there are a
:13:48. > :13:51.couple of ways to go out of Cup. You can go out in a blaze of glory, we
:13:52. > :13:55.saw the USA do that the other day, and you can go out with a whimper.
:13:56. > :14:01.Can you accused France of the latter today? Yes, they showed far too much
:14:02. > :14:03.respect. Every game, they have pressed too high, won the ball back
:14:04. > :14:03.respect. Every game, they have pressed too high, won the ball in
:14:04. > :14:05.high areas, pressed too high, won the ball in
:14:06. > :14:11.high then they dropped. As soon as the game kicked off, Germany had the
:14:12. > :14:15.ball for about five or six minutes. Tactical from France? It must've
:14:16. > :14:18.been something they on, trying to get Germany high up the field,
:14:19. > :14:23.because they know the back for our slow. Griezmann, Valbuena and
:14:24. > :14:26.Benzema were trying to draw Germany out and catch them on the break but
:14:27. > :14:31.it didn't work. They never got possession in midfield. Germany
:14:32. > :14:36.ruled the game. Mark, you were at the Maracana, the only game that
:14:37. > :14:40.decided it was very much a tailored to centre halves Tash Makro the only
:14:41. > :14:46.goal that decided it. It was a tale of one. We lacked maybe a bit of
:14:47. > :14:50.experience, said Hugo Lloris. Varane, who we know will be a top
:14:51. > :14:54.player eventually, but he is never in a position to fight Hummels, or
:14:55. > :14:59.to get into a position to deal with a free kick. It is just a little
:15:00. > :15:06.push, just as he starts to leap, and there is nothing he can do about it.
:15:07. > :15:11.It is still about experience, he is still very much a kid. Sakho, if
:15:12. > :15:16.anything, should be picking up Hummels. Does he need to be more of
:15:17. > :15:21.a bully? It will come with experience, he is 21. When he is 23
:15:22. > :15:26.or 24 he will be pushing Hummels out of the way. But I agree with Mark,
:15:27. > :15:33.Sakho should have picked them up. He is a more experienced defender. It
:15:34. > :15:36.is interesting as well, Tim, a feud tactical changes Joachim Low made,
:15:37. > :15:40.one was to bring in Hummels and not play Mertesacker. We heard people
:15:41. > :15:43.say maybe was because he had flu but he wanted a bit more pace in the
:15:44. > :15:46.defence and it certainly worked. Right at the start of the game,
:15:47. > :15:54.France got behind the German defence and it was Hummels and claim -- came
:15:55. > :16:04.across. Right at the start he had a huge impact on the game.
:16:05. > :16:08.you play Lama in his best position, as good a full-back has anyone in
:16:09. > :16:14.the world, and then they can play Kadir and Schweinsteiger. If you
:16:15. > :16:23.looked at the way they played today, the two of them together, nearly all
:16:24. > :16:31.the time, made such a difference. The best ranch chances came to
:16:32. > :16:35.Benzema -- French. His movement is good, his technique is excellent at
:16:36. > :16:39.times. You do not know what you're going to get from him, I have
:16:40. > :16:44.watched him a lot in a French shirt. People would say, put your laces
:16:45. > :16:50.through it. He has tried place it. If it goes in, it is class. He is
:16:51. > :16:55.very confident when he is on his game. Alan Shearer said he is good
:16:56. > :17:02.but not great. I agree with that, he is not consistent enough. He is like
:17:03. > :17:07.Berbatov, if he is up for it, he will score you goals, we have seen
:17:08. > :17:11.that in a Real Madrid shirt and a French shirt. But if he does not
:17:12. > :17:16.feel right, you are playing with ten men. Roll that across the goal, make
:17:17. > :17:21.an own goal out of it. But strikers are strikers, they think, I can
:17:22. > :17:26.score from every angle! He is playing against the best goalkeeper
:17:27. > :17:32.in the world. When he is hot, he is very hot. Interesting, again, the
:17:33. > :17:37.comments from Didier Deschamps, saying France were too timid,
:17:38. > :17:41.showing too much respect. I think that comes from the manager! The
:17:42. > :17:46.other thing is, how long did it take them to make a positive change? He
:17:47. > :17:52.says experience comes from playing in big games. It was a cup match,
:17:53. > :17:57.that was the clue, with 20 minutes left you are going out of the World
:17:58. > :18:02.Cup, what do you do? You push on. If there were negatives for France, the
:18:03. > :18:06.shining light was the work of Valbuena, who got behind the German
:18:07. > :18:12.defence on numerous occasions. He has had a great tournament, he is
:18:13. > :18:19.29. He has always been the best playmaker for my say. He is busy,
:18:20. > :18:24.great technique, great vision. -- Marseille. When he gets the ball, he
:18:25. > :18:30.tries to make things happen. Didier Deschamps would have known him from
:18:31. > :18:33.Marseille. He has only got a one-year contract, but they are
:18:34. > :18:38.prepared to let him go, the new manager does not fancy him. They say
:18:39. > :18:42.he is struggling to get a club, which is difficult to understand,
:18:43. > :18:46.because he was their most creative player in all their games. He is a
:18:47. > :18:55.star player, gives them penetration down the flanks. That is it! When it
:18:56. > :18:59.comes down to it, his fitness catches him out. We talked about the
:19:00. > :19:16.tactical changes for Germany, Schweinsteiger and Khedira together
:19:17. > :19:19.in midfield. You are doubling your protection, and they are very
:19:20. > :19:24.intelligent players. They take positions from each other. All the
:19:25. > :19:29.clips that we show, they are never very far away at all. If somebody
:19:30. > :19:33.like Schweinsteiger gets on the ball, Khedira goes forward and tries
:19:34. > :19:36.to release somebody else. They are always in the position, and in terms
:19:37. > :19:40.of playing that position, that is one of the most important thing is,
:19:41. > :19:45.you want to know where your players are. These have had a hard game
:19:46. > :19:51.against Algeria, Schweinsteiger nearly had to be carried off with
:19:52. > :19:56.cramp. Khedira's fitness is not great. France said, have the ball,
:19:57. > :20:01.do what you want. Make the game quick, do not let them settle on the
:20:02. > :20:06.ball and the game changes. If you give quality players time on the
:20:07. > :20:10.ball, you see what happens. You said many times, you take your position
:20:11. > :20:16.off you're playing partner. Kids, that is what you do! The French are
:20:17. > :20:21.relatively young in midfield, so you can go and press, but it didn't
:20:22. > :20:26.happen. Germany go through. Next stop for the laser, to find out who
:20:27. > :20:34.will face them in the semifinals, Brazil against in-form Colombia. --
:20:35. > :20:39.Fortaleza. Into the Estadio Castelao, the
:20:40. > :20:43.Crucible, a test of tactics, skill and nerve, who can keep their cool
:20:44. > :20:49.in Fortaleza? Brazil have been accused of being more flaky than
:20:50. > :20:53.formidable, Colombia engaging and exciting. Brazil have Neymar,
:20:54. > :20:59.Colombia have Rodriguez. Over the last 12 months, Felipe Scolari has
:21:00. > :21:01.had five untouchables who have played every minute of the
:21:02. > :21:07.Confederations Cup campaign and every minute of this World Cup.
:21:08. > :21:12.Until today - two of the five are out, Luis Gustavo is suspended, Dani
:21:13. > :21:17.Alves is dropped. Paulinho and Maicon come in, his first
:21:18. > :21:21.competitive start for his country for three years. Colombia have not
:21:22. > :21:30.beaten Brazil in 23 years, and they have never beaten them on Brazilian
:21:31. > :21:36.soil. Jose Pekerman switch to 4-4-2, but today they revert to one up
:21:37. > :21:42.front. Ibarbo returns, and Guarin replaces Aguilera in midfield. With
:21:43. > :21:49.five goals and two assists, Rodriguez's assists are outdoing
:21:50. > :21:55.those of Neymar and Messi, doubling his international goals tally at
:21:56. > :21:59.this tournament. -- stats. Brazil's have not lost a home match of any
:22:00. > :22:05.description since 2002, and that match was played in this city. --
:22:06. > :22:12.Brazil. Fernandinho releases Neymar. Fred arriving in the box, Zapata
:22:13. > :22:16.does well, a corner, though. He is very quick and mobile in covering
:22:17. > :22:21.the ground, knows where the danger is, got to get to Neymar early.
:22:22. > :22:31.It is dangerous, it is in at the back post, and Thiago Silva, the
:22:32. > :22:38.captain, has put Brazil in front! In the seventh minute of the game!
:22:39. > :22:47.Neymar's corner, Thiago Silva at the back post, Scolari celebrates,
:22:48. > :22:52.Brazil celebrates, 1-0, the hosts. Just looking at it here, he evades
:22:53. > :22:57.everyone, he ends up putting it in with his left knee, improvising
:22:58. > :23:03.brilliantly, but what a ball! The goalkeeper comes, goes back, in off
:23:04. > :23:07.his thigh, great start. The man who has been having to justify his
:23:08. > :23:15.captaincy this week puts Brazil in front in the quarterfinal.
:23:16. > :23:30.Guarin seeing a lot of the ball in the first moments of the game.
:23:31. > :23:36.Oh, that has ruffled the side netting! He is some player, look at
:23:37. > :23:44.the pace has, as soon as he comes inside, it said of his left foot. It
:23:45. > :23:52.flicked off Thiago Silva, didn't it? Yeah, inches wide.
:23:53. > :24:02.Mistake by Ibarbo, Maicon, Fred. It might just be a corner, this. It is!
:24:03. > :24:08.Good pace, getting back, but gives the corner away. Maicon trying to
:24:09. > :24:16.get down this right-hand side. Neymar on the corner. 1-0 Brazil. Up
:24:17. > :24:18.go the heads, well out by Yepes. One driver has lost it in a very
:24:19. > :24:23.dangerous area! Hulk for Brazil! They cannot clear this, Colombia.
:24:24. > :24:38.Just too high for Neymar. Real peril here for Colombia.
:24:39. > :24:42.Getting to the byline, pulling it back, great defending. He sees the
:24:43. > :24:44.danger, Davitt Luiz Court back, great defending. He sees the
:24:45. > :24:49.danger, he was going to cash in again at the far post. -- Davitt
:24:50. > :25:10.Luiz. -- David. Great chance, Hulk, good save,
:25:11. > :25:17.Ospina! Ospina again! That is better, isn't it, from Brazil? Hulk
:25:18. > :25:21.again, lovely pass. He takes some of the power out of it, that is the
:25:22. > :25:22.challenge for Brazil, getting that three to play well together all at
:25:23. > :25:39.the same time. At the moment for the hosts, so far
:25:40. > :25:40.so good, deservedly won-0 up. Great challenge by Cuadrado, immediately
:25:41. > :25:54.onto his feet. Brilliant block, Thiago Silva might
:25:55. > :26:02.just have saved Brazil there, it was practically three onto one. I think
:26:03. > :26:05.Scolari will be pleased with how Paulinho has done, because he did
:26:06. > :26:10.not look on it at the beginning of the tournament but has done better
:26:11. > :26:23.to gay. Hulk needs two bites to control that. -- today. He takes on
:26:24. > :26:29.is an eager. -- Zuniga. It is a goal kick, it hit Fred. Hulk, look at
:26:30. > :26:38.that reverse pass. Fred couldn't guide it in. Fernandinho. Neymar,
:26:39. > :26:40.lovely dummy. Neymar flattened after the ball had gone, and they do have
:26:41. > :26:48.a free kick. The free kick has been taken. Fred
:26:49. > :26:55.in the middle does not quite reach it. Beautifully back into Hulk, good
:26:56. > :27:01.save, Ospina! Fred is there, cleared away and the whistle has gone.
:27:02. > :27:09.Ospina saving Romm the onrushing Oscar. They could have had this game
:27:10. > :27:14.out of sight, Brazil. Yes, Colombia are really rocking here, great move
:27:15. > :27:22.again. Down at his left hand side, brilliant save.
:27:23. > :27:37.Ram Moss with a suspicious as to Cuadrado. -- Ramos. Guarin over the
:27:38. > :27:44.top of the bar. That is Rodriguez saying to him, calm down. I think he
:27:45. > :27:51.wanted back, he manages to scoop it out, but Rodriguez wanted back. Not
:27:52. > :27:56.the best finishes, look at his touch. He sees the pass, but his
:27:57. > :28:06.colleague has not got the same technique. Zuniga jumping with Hulk,
:28:07. > :28:11.who has found Oscar, then Neymar, who will get onto this. Fred down
:28:12. > :28:21.the middle, getting forward. Free kick, Brazil. You just run straight
:28:22. > :28:27.in, he cannot have any complaints. -- he. He just takes him out.
:28:28. > :28:32.Still about half an hour of playing time to go. Neymar on this free kick
:28:33. > :28:43.for Brazil. The delivery is very comfortable for
:28:44. > :28:49.Ospina, but he has it taken away from him. That is not going to
:28:50. > :28:55.count. And he has brought his cards with him. And Thiago Silva, that is
:28:56. > :29:01.one Thiago... Silva will now not play in the semifinal of the World
:29:02. > :29:07.Cup if Brazil are in it. I think he was just running back, look, he gets
:29:08. > :29:11.in his way. He should know better, really.
:29:12. > :29:17.He will be missed if they make it there. Yeah. Oh, that is ridiculous,
:29:18. > :29:26.isn't it? Yepes with an excellent tackle on
:29:27. > :29:28.Neymar. He is ten yards deeper than everyone else and makes a great
:29:29. > :29:38.challenge. Fernandinho away, Zuniga onto it, he
:29:39. > :29:44.goes over Paulinho's foot, Colombian free kick. Every minute that goes
:29:45. > :29:47.by, the tension is just ratcheting up another notch or two, and it is
:29:48. > :29:58.the Brazilians who are feeling it. That could go anywhere, Yepes, the
:29:59. > :30:03.flag is up on this nearside. It is not going to count. Yepes thinks he
:30:04. > :30:09.has scored, but he hasn't. The flag was up before the ball went in the
:30:10. > :30:15.net. Fantastic ball in, Rodriguez. It looks to me as if he's just
:30:16. > :30:20.offside. It is a melee! It just breaks to him.
:30:21. > :30:29.Well, you must have been deemed to be offside. Yeah, it is a matter of
:30:30. > :30:33.an inch or two, but I think he is just off as that is taken. You can't
:30:34. > :30:40.help feeling the writing is on the wall. They are becoming less
:30:41. > :30:45.composed, Brazil, as the game goes on. Hulk trying to get away from
:30:46. > :30:49.Sanchez. Free kick, did not like the way he approached that, the
:30:50. > :30:56.referee, two feet from a distance. Rodriguez into the book. Trying to
:30:57. > :31:00.pull out of it. But Rodriguez into the book. Trying to
:31:01. > :31:10.pull out of it. he is high, coming in with his studs raised. Not
:31:11. > :31:16.controlled. David Luiz. He hits it, it is dipping, it is in, it is
:31:17. > :31:27.brilliant! Oh, what a goal from David Luiz! Absolute perfection!
:31:28. > :31:34.Look at this, unbelievable, but it is a side foot, he hits down on it.
:31:35. > :31:39.Great finish, a side foot from there, he has no right to score.
:31:40. > :31:45.Look out on the dip on it. Incredible. It makes its word, go up
:31:46. > :31:52.and down quickly, the keeper can't take up the flight of it. Resilience
:31:53. > :31:57.and free kicks! David Luiz. I have seen him miss loads of those, he
:31:58. > :32:05.doesn't care, he knows there is one of them in him somewhere. What a
:32:06. > :32:15.time to find it. Oscar. Neymar. Neymar is going to go for goal. It
:32:16. > :32:20.is wide of the right-hand post. Great effort. Just demonstrating the
:32:21. > :32:35.quality of his left foot as well. Can't bend it in. Problems for
:32:36. > :32:44.Pekerman's Colombia. Maicon. He has given it away. Bacca. Rodriguez.
:32:45. > :32:49.Carlos Bacca, away from Marcella, James Rodriguez, Bacca, he is
:32:50. > :32:55.tripped by Julio Cesar, it is a penalty kick for Colombia, and it is
:32:56. > :33:00.a yellow card for Julio Cesar. Look at this, quality, he has eyes on the
:33:01. > :33:05.back of his head, just tries to lift it over the keeper, clear penalty. I
:33:06. > :33:10.think the only thing saving him is David Luiz getting in behind him,
:33:11. > :33:14.otherwise he is. James Rodriguez came into this World Cup with five
:33:15. > :33:20.international goals. If he puts this way he has taken it to 11, but much,
:33:21. > :33:23.much more importantly, he has put Colombia back into this
:33:24. > :33:36.quarterfinal, if, if James Rodriguez can score now.
:33:37. > :33:51.2-1! And the rest of this is a Brazilian ordeal! Brilliance from
:33:52. > :33:59.Rodriguez. Quality penalty. Julio Cesar stands up for an age. He shows
:34:00. > :34:01.he has got that little feint, he waits for him to go, and puts it in
:34:02. > :34:16.the opposite corner. Trying to away from Oscar. Oscar did
:34:17. > :34:22.well. It will be a Colombian corner, despite what Oscar is trying
:34:23. > :34:28.to claim. He just about got that right, the rest. Five minutes to go.
:34:29. > :34:34.Juan Quintero with the Colombian corner kick hello to the post.
:34:35. > :34:43.Ramires did well. They can break here. Oscar. -- low to the post will
:34:44. > :34:48.stop redshirts outnumbering the yellow. Oscar has not done much with
:34:49. > :34:59.it, in the end. WHISTLE Neymar is still down. Yes, look. A
:35:00. > :35:07.knee in the back, Zuniga. He felt that one. That is a picture no
:35:08. > :35:27.Brazilian wants to see. Kent Aero, Armero -- one Quintero,
:35:28. > :35:35.out it goes from Thiago Silva. Quintero. Sanchez. Armero. Rodriguez
:35:36. > :35:40.with a header on, Ramos, trying to find yet there is, put behind by
:35:41. > :35:44.Marcella. It is a corner kick to Colombia, and it is agony for
:35:45. > :35:50.Brazil. If this delivery is right, it could be chaos. In it goes, the
:35:51. > :35:54.flick on is wide from Ramos! A teasing ball in. Just can't steer it
:35:55. > :36:12.in the direction of the goal. Look at Ramires chasing this. Good
:36:13. > :36:17.play by Ramires. Oh, nasty. Has he won a free kick? Yes, he has, and
:36:18. > :36:22.that might get them over the line. That is it, Brazil are through!
:36:23. > :36:30.CHEERING Brazil are into the semifinals of
:36:31. > :36:38.their own World Cup! David Luiz, matchwinner, with a stunning free
:36:39. > :36:44.kick. But, oh, how they had to hang on, after James Rodriguez's penalty.
:36:45. > :36:48.Brazil 2-1 Colombia. Let's bring you an update straight away on the big
:36:49. > :36:52.news, that challenge on Neymar, apparently, according to Scolari, he
:36:53. > :36:56.is set to miss the semifinal against Germany. Scolari said I think Neymar
:36:57. > :36:59.would be able to play. Everyone knows he has been hunted for three
:37:00. > :37:04.matches it has been happening. He has been sent to a private clinic
:37:05. > :37:07.for a series of exams will stop it was need in the lower back, he was
:37:08. > :37:13.crying out with pain, I can guarantee you it won't be easy. So
:37:14. > :37:17.Brazil are through, Tim Vickery, but at a huge cost, not only potentially
:37:18. > :37:22.losing Neymar but also without Thiago Silva as well. Probably will
:37:23. > :37:27.the two most important players in the team. Thiago Silva is definitely
:37:28. > :37:34.out. The operative word from Scolari was I think. This is the challenge
:37:35. > :37:41.from Zuniga. If he has not cracked anything, that is all it is, it is
:37:42. > :37:45.pain. Me and waddle are alike, we think he plays full stop Scolari's
:37:46. > :37:52.complaint, he says he thinks he has been hunted. Fernandinho has been
:37:53. > :37:57.sent out to hunt. This is the yellow card for Thiago Silva. A stupid one.
:37:58. > :38:02.When you are sat on a yellow, knowing you can miss with another
:38:03. > :38:06.one, it is absolutely stupid. I agree with the lads, it is stupid.
:38:07. > :38:13.He is such an important player to Brazil. He holds the defence
:38:14. > :38:17.together. He is the defence. Without him, they have not played great
:38:18. > :38:21.football anyway, so without him organising it at the back it will be
:38:22. > :38:24.difficult. They seemed a bit more comfortable, particularly must first
:38:25. > :38:31.half, and it was Thiago Silva who got the goal. It is a bad goal as
:38:32. > :38:38.well, in so far as Colombia are concerned. Sanchez was completely
:38:39. > :38:44.ball watching. He has no idea. All of a sudden he looks at the ball,
:38:45. > :38:47.and bang. Do you not think there that the goalie has come three yards
:38:48. > :38:52.and he thought he would get it. I know he should not it, he will think
:38:53. > :38:54.he was should follow it anyway, but the goalkeeper comes three yards,
:38:55. > :38:59.stops and goes back. For me, the keeper should have, got it. Even
:39:00. > :39:05.so, you still have to do your bit. It was interesting to say that
:39:06. > :39:09.Neymar had been hunted, what about James Rodriguez? He was certainly in
:39:10. > :39:13.a spot of bother. We will get to that a bit later, but it was very
:39:14. > :39:18.much a day of the centre halves, Hummel 's scoring for Germany, Silva
:39:19. > :39:22.and then David Luiz. Rather than talk about a great free kick, Chris
:39:23. > :39:28.Waddle, you are talking about the goalkeeper. It is a great strike,
:39:29. > :39:32.but what is the goalkeeper doing? Let the wall do its job and a guard
:39:33. > :39:35.that side. If he stands where he should come he catches it, you
:39:36. > :39:43.doesn't have to dive and Miss it. Where is he? He stands where he
:39:44. > :39:48.should stand, it is an easy save. It is a great strike. We are not
:39:49. > :39:52.nit-picking, because it was a great strike come but Chris is right. You
:39:53. > :39:57.stand at that side of the wall, you could head it away. 24 free kicks in
:39:58. > :40:01.the Premier League since he scored one, but if you score them, make
:40:02. > :40:06.sure use got them in the World Cup. We have talked a lot about South
:40:07. > :40:09.American stars at this World Cup. We know James Rodriguez is a great
:40:10. > :40:12.player and the second half we really went for it, and he got the goal
:40:13. > :40:17.that put Colombia back in the game. From the penalty spot. It is his
:40:18. > :40:22.lovely pass in. Carlos Bacca had come on. A pity he was not 100% fit
:40:23. > :40:26.because it gives them a bit more pace up front. We are all arguing
:40:27. > :40:31.about the colour of the car. When I first saw it, I thought it was
:40:32. > :40:36.redder than red. If it had been at the other end it would have been
:40:37. > :40:43.read. Gary Lineker said the same thing, he never looked. David Luiz
:40:44. > :40:48.saying at the end, this is the man, and he has been a real star of the
:40:49. > :40:53.tournament. Monaco will do well to keep hold of him. I don't think
:40:54. > :40:58.David Luiz would do that if Brazil had been beaten though. He would
:40:59. > :41:04.have been lynched if he was congratulating the competition. Six
:41:05. > :41:09.goals in the World Cup for James Rodriguez, second youngest behind
:41:10. > :41:16.Pele, he was 17 when he hit six in 1958. Did you see the giant locust
:41:17. > :41:25.that landed on his arm, we have an arrow out, look at the size of
:41:26. > :41:31.that. What is it called, Fernandinho? Another pest,
:41:32. > :41:37.Fernandinho, you talked about how much he has been involved in the
:41:38. > :41:40.game, and all rather negatively. He got away with a lot, particularly
:41:41. > :41:49.against Rodriguez. Largely because of the referee. This was against
:41:50. > :41:56.Chile. A repeat offender, he just kept taking players out all the
:41:57. > :41:59.time. I understand Scolari will say to him, James Rodriguez is a player
:42:00. > :42:05.by the way, but where is the referee in all of this? It was just repeat
:42:06. > :42:12.offence after repeat offence. There was no referee tonight on the pitch.
:42:13. > :42:17.More than 30 fouls for Brazil in this game. This is unfortunately
:42:18. > :42:19.what they have become. Brazil still provide you with some fantastic
:42:20. > :42:26.flashes of play, but they don't look to be you so much. Rodriguez, that
:42:27. > :42:33.might have been his first attempt at a tackle, you got booked. David Luiz
:42:34. > :42:37.scored from it. If that had been Neymar, all of those tackles
:42:38. > :42:42.against? They would have cancelled the World Cup, wouldn't they? Put
:42:43. > :42:46.this in context for Brazil, you have covered this for the BBC, up until
:42:47. > :42:50.this point, how significant is it that they are still in it and the
:42:51. > :42:55.party continues for the moment? Huge, while they are still in it,
:42:56. > :42:57.they are happy, but I think they are losing friends all around the world,
:42:58. > :43:02.because you are seeing what they have become. They can be ruthless in
:43:03. > :43:08.their efficiency. Brazilian football has always been about winning, but
:43:09. > :43:12.over time the question, how do you win, receives a different answer.
:43:13. > :43:15.They used to do it by having the best passing midfielders in the
:43:16. > :43:18.world and elaborate in there. Then they got spooked by the physical
:43:19. > :43:23.developer de Vrij game and thought you can't win that any more, so how
:43:24. > :43:27.do you win? Set pieces, counterattacks. They don't beat you
:43:28. > :43:34.any more on flow. They beat you on moments, and they try and stop your
:43:35. > :43:39.flow with a foul. He needs to interrupt your flow, he wants you to
:43:40. > :43:46.shut up! Don't forget, Argentina against Belgium on radio five live.
:43:47. > :43:49.We have live coverage of Netherlands against Costa Rica and next Tuesday
:43:50. > :43:54.Brazil against Germany from Belo Horizonte. We start of the day with
:43:55. > :44:02.eight left, we are now down to six, we are reaching the business end.
:44:03. > :44:44.Axe for watching. Goodbye. -- thanks for watching.
:44:45. > :44:46.If your friend was taken away... # Not giving in... #
:44:47. > :44:49.I'm afraid there's not much we can do.
:44:50. > :44:52...how would you fight to get her back?
