Depends on the Suarez situation, if he plays Uruguay wins, if not Colombia wins.

James Rodriguez is awesome though

I think Colombia are favourites, even if their two best strikers are sitting on the bench.

But I won't rule Uruguay out, their defense is quite a good fit on Colombia's offense.

Lol you are stupid if you think Suarez will play this one.

You could see after the game that he knew his WC is finished.

The atmosphere will be unreal for this game.

This will depend on Suarez and surely Colombia will have more fans in the stadium.

I see a very close game, Suarez playing or not because both teams have good defensive players. A corner kick, free kick or a mistake will have to open the game.

Suarez or not, the James Rodriguez and Cuadrado are just in such good form and Colombia are so quick and deadly on the counter that they look like the better team right now. Plus the Colombians will probably have a home field advantage against any team besides Brazil. Suarez makes it closer but Colombia have one of the best attacking units in the entire WC and Uruguay has looked pretty mediocre by their standards, even when Suarez has been playing.

If Suarez plays Uruguay wins. If not it's over.

They look like the better team right now because they had the easiest group in qualifying while Uruguay had the toughest.

Not gonna say that didn't help, but they look like the better team because they've looked like the better team for over a year now. In addition to the reasons I just stated, Colombia has been one of the best teams in the world since Pekerman took over. Couple bumps along the way losing some games when they pretty much had their WC birth wrapped up and when figuring out how to play with Falcao but Colombia have tied or beaten all the best South American teams and have legit wins outside of South America like against Belgium in Brussels. Before Falcao went down Colombia were one of the top contenders and were forgotten about until they could prove their worth without him. Now they seem to have figured out how to play really well without him. They have two of the best playing midfielders at the tournament and they're strikers although not Falcao are coming off of some very impressive years like Martinez being the top scorer in Portugal.

Urguay's group was overrated. Not to take too much credit from Costa Rica who is a good but not great team, but they stomped on that group and England is always overhyped. Uruguay are a good team but like the other "giants" in their group they are being overrated for past performance. Haven't been particularly impressed with them this world cup or for a while.

Suarez appears to get ready to bite Chiellini in 2013?!?! Right in the first 1 or 2 seconds.

Yeah that was definitely an attempt to bite the very same player last year :lol:

Here's a shot of the incident:

And a close up:

Chiellini was not having it the first time:

But little did the Italian know, Suarez was on his mind up till now:

This is straight up assaulting a particular player, it's not even random. In fact in both cases Chiellini doesn't even appear to be instigating the cannibal.

He should be banned from the sport. Period.
