This Colombia numba 18 should chop a red soon...

He is jos busy doing an Oloye all over the field...

Colombians should play their game instead of hacking.

[ElHadary]

If Brazil brings Jo on Colombia should equalize.

[Bigpokey24]

Sam Pam , is better than Fred and Jo combined

This game is a farce. Absolutely shameful on Colombia. They think they're in a local South American derby.

No composure. So easily goaded by Brazil into jawing, arguing, and focusing on anything but the game. Clearly the Colombians have stage fright...playing right into the hands of a Brazil team that can be had by talent.

Man, it was just too much to believe that a Cinderella like Colombia could hang with one of guns of the game. My brain knew this. But my heart still held out hope.

Maybe Peckerman can revive and stabilize them in the locker?

Doubt it. But you never know. I really hope Colombia settles down and plays its game.

Cheers, Mate

Man Colombia need to chill out. They are letting their emotions get the better of them. This Brazilian team is not that good. Just stay compact instead of playing pick up soccer.

[Heliopolis]

In all the WCs I've watched, I cant recall ever seeing a team with as much quality as Colombia playing so scared. These mutha F'ers are scared as hell!

Brazil is giving them space yet the Colombians are playing uncharacteristically poor football as they are unable to contain their nerves. Players are carelessly surrendering possession of the ball, bad passes are being made in advanced positions, and the Colombians have run around like headless chickens in defence.

I hope Pekerman can settle his squad at halftime. They have the quality and tactics to pull this off. Problem is that even after 45 minutes these guys still looked like deer in headlights.

Brazil has improved a bit since the last match but still leave a lot to be desired. Fernandinho is gonna have to break someone's leg to get booked. He has been Brazil's Nigel De Jong with so many careless tackles vs Chile and Colombia yet the refs refuse to book him. Even the commentators mentioned it was about time he got booked for excessive fouling.

Fred is so useless its not even funny. By my count, he touched the ball once the entire first half

Hulk has had some good chances but this guy is so over-rated its not even funny. I wonder if he is uncomfortable playing from the left rather than his usual movement of cutting in from the right.

Colombia can pull this off but only if they calm the F down.

That is why Brazil go regret not putting a couple past them...

They have them playing a local derby where folks are just playing anyhow anyhow...

Its the Scolari of Gremio back at it again...

Should be interesting to see how Brazil react when Colombia finally settle down...

KPOM!

Colombia are acting like this is a local town game where the rivals hate each other.

I can't believe some think this is a good game. Are you kidding me?



Colombia utterly crashed in the 1st half. What they're doing is not football. They're lucky Brazil didn't score a lot more. And yes, you are right. Brazil isn't that good.

Germany might be able to do this. They're not going to get goaded into making it a game of mouthing off and play acting...especially if behind.

Sheesh. You'd think Colombia was past this amateur baiting.


Cheers, Mate

[mate]

Man, I have guests. All are mostly rooting for Colombia. What a let down so far.

Easier said than done. As some of us noted when Colombia dispatched the Uruguayans, it's not easy to face a team that's bossed and lorded it's way over the continent and world for eons, many many mental blocks had to be overcome and Colombia are fighting those now.

Brazil will simply keep goading them deeper into it and lets see whether pekerman can cool his troops down. Uruguay or Argentina handle Brazil better because they too have been there and done that.

[ohsee]

100% kpom! Why do they always start? I do not see their value. Both are complete waste-pipes. Brazil plays minus two with them on the team.

[Heliopolis]

I'm not so sure of Colombia settling down...one more Brazil goal and this thing is over. I feel Colombia just need a sustained period of possession to get their groove back. I kept on thinking with each possession Colombia would grow in confidence but even by the end of the first half they still looked nervous.

It would take a miracle to restore their composure. They're clearly rattled. They can barely trap, pass, never mind shoot.

I can't believe Peckerman couldn't do better here. Then again, who knows what will happen in that locker. Fingers crossed for the 2nd half.

Frustrating to watch them losing the psychological battle...

They should calm down and play ball.

[Chief Ogbunigwe]

Sam Pam , is better than Fred and Jo combined

Even better to play Ramirez or Willian than Fred.

As for hulk, he just shoots without any attempt to place the ball.

[Cellular]

Keeper has kept them in the game...

They should play ball and leave the theatrics for the Brazilians...
