Brazil 3-2 Ecuador.. Was watching United, turned over to this in time to see Caicedo's equalizer and Pato's second.
Caicedo seems to be a proper striker. Knows where the net is, strong, quick, both feet too. City don't know what they've got with him.

Can't see this game staying like this tbh, very open game from what I've seen.

Neymar's goal any good? Didn't see it, seen all the other goals though..

Well, Pato scored the first, cross from deep on the left from Andre Santos, Pato cuts infront of the defender and heads into the bottom corner, great goal.

Caicedo scored the first as well, but it was straight at Julio Cesar and he made a mess of it.

Neymar's first now ;) was a magnificent through ball by Ganso, a stunning cut the defence ball and Neymar hits it first time, great goal also.

4-2 now as well, Neymar again.
 
Neymar scored again.. 4-2 game over now. Can't see Ecuador coming back AGAIN!

Thanks for that Zeus' beard btw :)

No problem mate, it's been a good game so far!

Brazil at times have been a little too arrogant, as usual when they are winning, but Ganso's through ball I can watch again and again and again.
 
Peru leading by 1-0. First half in the ET. Falcao missed the penalty which could have put the game to bed.

Columbia are wasting too many chances..

Game over. Vargas with a almost a net blaster.. 2-0 to Peru..
 
2-0 Peru.

Vargas Goal from a counter-attack.

I think that peru do not deserve the victory, but this is football..
 
In the group stages Columbia played well and also one of the favs to win the Copa, now in the knock out they bottled it..

Higuain equailiser.. Messi with superb cross..
 
Quoting myself (Portugal vs Argentina friendly match):

I don't like Milito in the back, he's a solid defender but he's too short (1.79m). Portugal have several players that are good in the air, I swear I want to cry everytime I see a cross into the box

Crosses and set-pieces have been our Achilles' heel for a year, and I don't see that changing. We need height, for both defensive and offensive purposes. Our offensive set pieces are close to useless.

Very stupid from Perez...

He should've been sent of earlier, for his late, two footed, over the ball, with studs challenge on Mascherano. It wasn't a savage tackle but it had all the ingredients.
 
I'm watching the second half, out of interest, who socred Uruguay's first then?

They are doing an excellent job the start of this second half, keeping Argentina at arm's length.

Yeah, but they aren't doing anything that could be dangerous for Argentina, so it's a bit boring.
 
Are Paraguay still in it? We need them to win :wub:
 
And Mashers is sent off! Silly second yellow there.

And two absolutely world class saves from Muslera! Saved Uruguay there!

The Argies are out! 5-4 on penalties, Tevez missing the crutial penalty!

Knock 5 million off his price tag, the host nation are dismissed.
 
That was a pulsating game. Wonderful penalty taking by Uruguay, shoddy by Argentina.
 
some awesome penalty taking by Uruguay..however did the team with the 'World's Best Player' get knocked out in their own country? :P
 
Uruguay went through due to Tevez miss.

But have to say, great save by Muslera
 
Muslera pulled off about 10 great saves during the game, easily the man of the match.

One of my favourite keepers too.
