HighLights: Brazil Vs Netherlands: 0-3

Short of confidence Brazil continue to falter against the enterprising Netherlands. Brazil as a team showed how absence of 1-2 major player changes the complexion of the game. Less said about this game the better it is.

HighLights: Argentina Vs Netherlands: 0-0: (4-2)

The stars were shackled with defense taking center stage . Hard to pick up the team which played better. In the end the coin toss of penalty was the decider.

HighLights: Brazil Vs Germany : 1-7

It was just unbelievable what transpired on the pitch. Germany just steamrolled their opponent and looked likely to score whenever they moved forward. I have actually no words to describe anything which happened for that 90 minutes. I guess it was an aberration.

HighLights: Netherlands Vs Costa Rica: 0-0: 4-3

Netherlands clearly dominant but Costa Rica had their moment which they should have grabbed and their game plan seemed to desire penalties. They sat back so much that their was hardly any chances and when they did make an effort it was too late. Another example of the mistake by a lower ranked team of not pressing forward. In the end a heartbreak.

HighLights: Argentina Vs Belgium: 1-0

Higuain finally came good with Belgium totally outclassed. Argentina showed they can defend.

HighLights: Brazil Vs Columbia: 2-1

Heart Break for Columbia. Brazil played the anti Brazilian game of pathetic tackles but the referee had a different idea of keeping the cards in the pocket. End result Brazil lost her talismanic striker Neymar to one of such tackles. To be fair Columbian tackles began much after Brazilians.  Another mistake by one of the unfancied team was to sit back more than they do generally.

HighLights: France Vs Germany: 0-1

A very boring game (probably the most boring match of the World Cup) with Germans an outright winner. France seemed to have lost her MOJO and the absence of flair was clearly visible.

DressCode

Why should you wear short dresses? Totally agreed.

HighLights: Belgium Vs USA: 2-1

What a game, What a game, What a game. The extra time was an example of human limits to its extreme. With two overworked team giving it all. Tim Howard kept USA in with a chance by seeing the ball bigger than what it is. Ideally USA should have won with the amazing opportunity at the fag end of full time, but those are ifs and buts. They should have also stayed in the game in their superb last ditch efforts including a clever free kick. USA fought like a gladiator and unfortunately for them their was no theatrically happy ending.  Full marks to Belgium for tirelessly pressing on. In the end nature of sports calls for a winner and life seems too cruel, which seems to have become the norm of this world cup.

HighLights: Argentina Vs Switzerland: 1-0

A last minute mistake, Messi and Maria did what was denied by Switzerland for almost 2 halfs of regular and extra time. An amazing marking of Messi and a pole width was the distance between a loss and penalty shoot out for Switzerland. Phewww what a match
