Caesar should be off for that.

First thing he's had to do all game

 

[Hyperion]

The fine line between clumsy and deliberate

 

[banjo]

Come on

 

[brakespear]

2-1!!!!

 

[nwgull]

Yes! This is going to be a good 15 mins!

What a penalty! Under huge pressure! Now come on Colombia! Let's make these braziliens panic!

 

[Mowgli37]

Get in, COME ON COLOMBIA!

 

[del strangefish]

No Red Card.
Surely the last man.
Rule book out the window to favour the hosts.

 

[vegster]

Come on Columbia ! expect some cynical stuff now from the Brazilians.

Feel very uncomfortable about the whole World Cup, seems like Brazil can't fail to reach the final however bad they play.

FIFA want Brazil to win. Simple as that.

Remember 2002 with South Korea? FIFA want the host nation to get to the final. Which is why England never get the World Cup.

I am sorry. But I do buy into this FIFA wanting Brazil to win bull*hit.

Absolutely nothing in this game suggests to me a stitch up. It's been a fantastic hard fought end to end match

The free kick was never a free kick, and in ANY other game anywhere in the world, Cesar is shown a straight red. I can understand it, the ref is under HUMUNGOUS pressure to give everything to Brazil.

Rodriguez booked yet he has been kicked from pillar to post all game and not a yellow in sight for those

 

[Bladders]

2 minutes injury time, bet ya..

 

[Paris]

Neymar can F off as well. Over-hyped prat.

No. As pointed out in commentary, a defender was behind to win the ball regardless and did.

 

[Deleted member 18477]

There should be at least 5/6.

Let's see if Brazil can sway the added time in their favour as well!

 

[brakespear]

what do we reckon, 30 seconds of added time

edit: 5, so they must be feeling a little embarrassed

He could have not given a penalty I presume.

As for FIFA like the hosts to reach the final, that has not happened since 1998 FFS

What a bunch of diving *#@*s
