No One Wants To Play Colombia, Because James Rodríguez Is Unstoppable

Brazil's Goalkeeper And Goal Frame Keep Them From Falling To Chile
The sport of soccer being what it is—a game of players, whose fates are judged on the last moments they leave us with—Brazil's goalkeeper Júlio César will go down as today's hero when his team outlasted Chile to win on penalties.

We Feel You, Uruguay Dude
James Rodríguez scored another goal to put Colombia up 2-0 and Uruguay Dude is pretty bummed about the whole thing. The blink and nearly imperceptible [gulp] really hammer home that this dude can't even right now. We're sorry, man, but this is the risk you take when dressing up like a SuperFan. ...

Chile Were <i>This</i> Close To Beating Brazil In Extra Time

Hulk Goal Disallowed, Ruled A Handball
Hulk appeared to score a pretty athletic goal in the 55th minute but referee Howard Webb ruled it was a handball.
