Although its use is definitely welcomed and appreciated, it was initially used extensively – even when a goal was clearly in, every now and then they’d allow us to see through Hawkeye’s…eyes…and find out that, yes, we were in fact right – it did go in.

Brazil suffered the heftiest loss seen at that point in the competition, as they were dismantled 7-1 by the eventual winners Germany. Yes, I’ll concede that my prediction for this match may have been a little bit off…

Neymar had been a bright spot in a largely-dull Brazilian side, providing all of the creativity and the majority of their goals before his World Cup ending injury in the 88th minute of their clash with Colombia.

Prior to the World Cup, in a group which included Germany and Portugal, many had written the USA team off – especially after Landon Donovan was cut from the team.

It’s coming home, it’s coming home
It’s coming, football’s coming home

Unfortunately I’m going to have to agree with you here Spence, things haven’t been too bright for a long time. That’s okay, there’s always the Euro, eh?
