His absence commented Arjen Robben.

– Injury of De Jong is a heavy blow for us. But our strength lies in the fact that every player who enters the bench can maintain the quality of the game. Competition in the team is great no matter if an injury occurs – said the Dutch striker.

Netherlands will meet in the quarter-finals with Costa Rica.

Germans wary of Vahid’s “fox”, showdown of “roosters” and “eagles”

Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica and the Netherlands,  are the selections which have so far secured a place in the next round of the World Cup in Brazil. There are still four places remaining. The names of two new representations will find out today when their eighth-finals match play Germany and Algeria, while the second match of the day playing France and Nigeria.

France is the first part of the competition finished first in the E group. “Tricolore” won in two games against Honduras (3-0) and Switzerland (5-2), while the Ecuador match is finished goalless. As Nigeria is concerned, it is finished in second place in Group F behind Argentine. “Super Eagles” won Bosnia and Herzegovina 1-0, played with Iran 0-0, and lost to Argentina 3-2, but that was enough for a placement among the top 16. However, it is unlikely that they will be able to continue to the next round. Not only because the “Gallic rooster” quality than the African selection troubling problems in the locker room. Due to unpaid premiums to qualify for the next round players are not trained on Thursday and Friday. Once the problem is resolved, on Saturday were available to the selector. Cabaye believes that despite all the problems Nigerians have, France will easily go through them to the quarterfinals.

– One wrong step and we will go home. Therefore, the higher the pressure. We respect team of Nigeria, but I think we can pass it on. However, we have to be careful with statements that we will win the World Cup. Even with the mentality and determination that we have on the field, I can say that we can not beat a better opponent. We put ourselves under more pressure  with stories about winning championships – careful Cabaye was talking to the media.

Germans, who are among the favorites to win World Cup, have passed away with two wins and one draw outcome. Cure for “Panzers” did not have Portuguese (4:0) and the United States 1:0), while the Ghana drew 2-2. Algeria is the second in H group. Group stage, opened with the defeat of Belgium (2-1), and they are then defeated South Korea 4-2 and drew 1-1 with Russia. Algerians are happy to recall in 1982., on championship of Spain when they defetaed “Panzers” with 2-1, who are now saving revenge  for “Desert Fox”.

Despite the fact that Germany is the favorite, coach Joachim Loew is not exaggerating with statements.  – Many favorites have already gone home after the group stage. We have to be careful. There is no easy rivals in the knockout stage. I watched Algeria against Russia, it is an organized team, which is well-defended and easily transforms from defense to attack. We’ll have to play at the top level. Algerians are dangerous. They do not have just one good player, but lots of them – said Lev.

Vahid Halihodzic, coach of Algeria, was not happy with the question of whether Ramadan or month of fasting for Muslims, affect his players.

Awesome James Rodriguez took Colombia to the quarterfinals

 

Team of Colombia made ​​the biggest success ever since competing in the World Cup, and reached the quarter-finals, as in Rio de Janeiro beat Uruguay 2-0.

Hero of Colombia and definitely one player who marked the tournament James Rodriguez who twice beat Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslero. Firstly Rodriguez minute scored a fantastic goal in the 28th with a shot under the crossbar more than 20 meters and again in 58th minute, took advantage of a poorly placed defense of Uruguay and the box, then “slipped” away for the final score.

Monaco’s football player, including the match against Uruguay, scoring five goals and recorded four assists in the championship of the world. Rodriguez showed that absolutely can replace the biggest Colombian star, Radamel Falcao who is not arrived at the World Cup due to injury.

On the other hand, the Uruguayans, who four years ago reached the semi-finals, showed practically nothing, but they were weakened by the absence of the suspended header Luis Suarez. Although the supporters of Uruguay entered the stadium wearing a mask with the image of Suarez in support, it turns out that his action when he bit the Italian Giorgio Chellinio, enormously influenced the elimination of the national team. Suarez will have plenty of time, even nine months to think about crap he made and how to make amends for above-mentioned action.

Colombian players and fans only remains to be well prepared  for the quarter-final match against host Brazil which will be played the 4th of July in Fortaleza.

Fortuna on the side of the Brazilians, Chileans go home

Brazil’s soccer team advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup, as in Belo Horizonte defeated Chile after penalties 3-2.

Gods and goalkeeper Julio Cesar were to Brazil! Host of World Cup managed to beat Chile after a penalty shootout 1-1 (1-1) – 3-2 and reach the quarterfinals, but in the 120 minutes of the battle was outplayed and that Sampaolo’s troopers had a little bit of luck  all the country would cry as in 1950.  But the goal posts saved the penalty hero series Julio Caesar (two saves) in the 120th minute when Pinilla wailed, but in the fifth series too, when the unfortunate Hara missed and sent home his team. Brazil has shown that there is no goalscorers, that midfield besides Oscar has no creation, and that Neymar can be beaten and tamed. The quarterfinals will be without Luis Gustavo, who is jaundiced.

The shotting was in all directions in the first part, everything was lighting of challenge, opportunity, even two goals were achieved for real 1:1. When the two teams know well such as Brazil and Chile, then winning tactics is built on his opponent’s weaknesses. Selector of the World Cup’s host Felipe Scolari in the starting lineup introduced Fernandinho to “drown” Vidal and by winning the ball in the middle to build a fast action over Neymar, Oscar and Hulk. On the other hand a similar idea had Jorge Sampaoli, but attacked the last line of defense, with his midfielders and defenders are by all means to stop the main shaft of Brasil – Neymar and Oscar.

 After two falls in both boxes, that are just laughed English former policeman Howard Webb, Brazilians led after a corner. Neymar’s pass defender Thiago Silva conducted at the near post, where in front of David Luis the ball has been sent into his own net by the stopper Hara, but the goal FIFA official attributed the new cleat PSG. Increased press to the last line brought Chile tie. Hulk has a short back pass to Marcel, Vargas was first forwarded Alexis Sanchez, and this struck a dozen meters’m cornered. As has repeatedly been on the grass, Neymar was becoming increasingly dangerous. Oskar took control of the game, started to fill the balls Neymar and Fred, a bomb from 20 meters sent by Danny Alves, but it all ended in sighs. Chile was responding as well, Arturo Vidal five meters from Julio Caesar attempted to receive the ball instead of the first forward and Aranguiz waited too long and was blocked.

School lesson “How to neutralize Brazil” Chileans presented later in the game for free. High pressing, a lot of running, frequent changes of party are totally numb the Brazilians, who were only able to threaten by some long passing in 55th minute, when the stadium exploded as the Hulk put the ball in the net. But Zenit’s striker instead of celebrating was booked becasue Oscar’s pass, according to Webb, settled down with his hand, not his shoulder. Cesar saved Brazil after shooting Aranguiz, but Chile had the strength to finish, as well as to hold the end of the press. Whistles from the stands did not initiate Brazil, but Hulk did with the two actions. He set a ball to Zhou, who disgraced missing the entire goal at five feet, and in the final match Zenit’s striker crossed three players, but the Bravo show why Barcelona bought him.
