As the semi-finals beckon, only four teams remain. The European duo of Germany and Holland will be joined by the South American pair of Brazil and Argentina, with all four teams knowing that they have an opportunity of a lifetime to lift football’s most coveted prize.
The knock-out matches have been filled with drama and controversy throughout, keeping everyone on the edge of their seat. Just as you think you’ve seen it all, this World Cup keeps throwing spanners into the works in what will be a tournament remembered for generations. The first semi-final sees two international heavyweights go toe-to-toe with hosts Brazil aiming to win the World Cup on home soil against a forever efficient Germany side who will be desperate to lift the trophy after falling short in previous major tournaments.
Key Player – David Luiz
The former Chelsea star can sometimes be erratic to say the least, but one thing you can’t deny is his passion and work rate on the field. The now PSG defender was excellent against Columbia and capped off his performance with a fantastic free kick. The celebrations after the goal told the whole story. Luiz wears his heart on his sleeve and has given everything for the cause thus far, and will need to do so again against a resolute Germany side without his partner in crime Thiago Silva.
