Brazil committed 31 fouls as they edged a 2-1 win over Colombia in Fortaleza to set up a semi-final against Germany. Their South American rivals made 23 fouls in a scrappy game.

BBC Pundits on Brazil/Colombia match

Though Neymar's injury is what is taken-away from this match the most, I've got to say Brazil from all accounts and I've read elsewhere, is the team that seemed to have played a much more physical match and had the most fouls.

Rodriguez: The Referee Didn't Help Much

The referee lost some control of the game, not as bad as some games I've seen. That game had a very high energy level as well.

World Cup only comes along once every 4 years.

Belgium, hasn’t scored until last 20 minutes of their group stage games. Against the USA, they didn’t score at all in the last 20 minutes and we had the excellent chance with Wondolowski in the 92nd minute where we could have won. That one stat of Belgium is a bit worrisome if one is for Belgium.
