Honestly, and this could come back to haunt me Friday, I think both Colombia and Uruguay are way easier adversaries than Chile actually was. Some people think Brazil just had a bad game, but it wasn't that, Brazil isn't that great of a squad and Chile's 3-4-3 is crafted to counter our playstyle. Uruguay is terrible - even worse now that Suarez is out - and Colombia is...okay, I guess, but not as strong as Chile by any means. Also, they are way lighter on marking and Brazil's strong suit is fast breakaways with Neymar.

Seems about right to me. Chile's defensive work today was outstanding and even then Brazil had quite a few chances. I do not think Colombia can match that effort. If Hulk or Neymar get some free space, they will slice open the Colombian defense. Also Alexis Sanchez was immense today.

Look!
I think you are underestimating Chile and Mexico and overestimating Germany and France. The German team had a hard time scoring vs USA and France has only met really weak opposition so far (as has Colombia imo).
