World Cup 2014: Brazil vs Germany
The 2014 World Cup semifinals commence today when the host Brazil take on Germany at 7 pm QT. Although the Selecao hold a 12-5-4 edge in all-time matches against their adversaries, they will have their work cut out to please the home crowd and advance to the final.
Prodigious striker Neymar is out for the rest of the World Cup with aback injury, while defensive anchor Thiago Silva is suspended for the Germany match.
Battling a well-rounded German side without their premier attacking threat and Silva will be extremely difficult for Brazil to overcome. However, Germany have won their past three fixtures by just one goal apiece, so they've had a flair for the dramatic.
Given the stakes on the line in this impending showdown, it stands to reason that another thriller is in store.
Who do you think will win tonight? Will playing at home help Brazil go past this difficult phase?
