Brazil make it into the Semi-Final but not the most convincing performance for the tournament favourites. A 2-1 win against a fantastic Colombian team. James Rodriguez scores again to make it 6 goals for the tournament. Meanwhile it is EXTREMELY close at the top of our competition standings. Amazingly pup141 has correctly predicted the last 4 results! Here is the standings after Match 57

Dutch delight tonight after Van Gaal's troops demolish a woeful Brazil 3-0. Well done to mysticfreeman who was the only one to correctly predict the score tonight. Well after Match 63 there is just 2 points seperating the top 3 and personally im really glad the competition is now going down to the very last game. Who's going to win the top prize? We will find out tomorrow night when we tune in to the greatest game on earth - The World Cup Final!
