So the semis will look like this:

Brazil v Germany
Argentina v Netherlands

No real surprises in that line up, and the first should be pretty tasty.

Feel sorry for Neymar having to miss the rest of it, but that should at least help the Germans.

I've been interested to see that there's been a bit of a backlash against Brazil this World Cup, given they're generally well liked by neutral football fans. I don't just mean on here, either, where you would expect people to be willfully contrarian. When I was in the pub on Friday, practically everyone was rooting for Columbia.
