Brazil - FIFA World Cup 2014 - Day 8

Columbia (2) - Ivory Coast (1) - Group C

Update: Columbia now firmly in control of Group C. Columbia will fave Italy or Uruguay in R16. Costa Hica will likely face Cte d'Ivoire Elephants.

Preview: Ivory Coast proved resilient against Japan but smart money is on Columbia. Both teams will go through to R16, but whether they are C1 or C2 seed will determine whether they face Italy or Costa Rica.

Uruguay (2) - England (1) - Group D

Update: Luis Suarez dashes the hopes of fans of The Three Lions who can only hope to save some face in their last match against Costa Rica this Tuesday. Uruguay is back in control of their own destiny and will face Columbia in R16 if they can dispatch the Italians on Tuesday.

Preview: Both teams will be fighting for their tournament lives after early disappointment. Can either team claw their way back into contention? Or are both relegated to wait another four years to reach the Round of 16?

Japan (0)  - Greece  (0) - Group C

Update: This matched lived down to all the hype. Nothing to see here, please move along.

Preview: This will be a fascinating match, unless you're not from Japan or Greece. Look for Japan to prove that they belong in third place in Group C, firmly ahead of Greece and firmly behind contenders. I don't know which will be worse...a group of elated supporters or a group of dejected supporters.
