Quarterfinals Game 2: Brazil vs Colombia

Yay Colombia?

This scrappy team that beat out The Vampires Uruguay made it all the way to the quarterfinals.  Their reward?  Host team Brazil.

This game played out almost identical to Germany vs France (which is an insult to France, not a compliment to the Colombian squad).  Despite decent possession, Colombia had no answer for long passes to Brazil's Jardel, who scored a hat trick.  Again, just as in the other match, Brazil scored one more goal (Rivaldo, '80) and all Colombia could manage was to ruin the clean sheet (Castillo Cortes, '86).  Congratulations to Colombia for making it this far, but the buck stops here.  It will be up to Die Mannschaft to stop the Brazilian advance next round.

Final result: 4 -1 Brazil
