In the first matches of 1/4 finals on the World Cup 2014 Brazil will face with Colombia, while in the big European derby will meet France and Germany.
Brazil forced to a penalty shootout to get through very good Chile in their first knockout round game. James Rodriguez, who scored five goals and current top scorer, could be the most dangerous player for Brazil defence. Brazil have very strong defence, allowing just three goals in four games, but their attackers have many problems to create quality chances. The Brazilian star Neymar will lead attack along Hulk and both could make many troubles for Colombian side.
Colombia play fantastic on this World Cup and with four wins in four matches. Despite the absence of Radamel Falcao who would not be available for the campaign, James Rodriguez became the new star and Brazilians will have to keep an eye on him.
Possible lineups
Brazil: Julio César; Dani Alves, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Marcelo;Paulinho, Fernandinho, Hernanes; Oscar, Hulk, Neymar.
Colombia: Ospina; Zúñiga, Zapata, Yepes, Armero; Cuadrado, Abel Aguilar, Carlos Sánchez, James Rodríguez; Jackson Martínez, ‘Teo’ Gutiérrez.
