World Cup Quarterfinals are underway. Today's matches:
Brazil 3-2 over France in a match that turned wild in the 2nd half. The hosts took a 1-0 lead at 4' on a Neymar goal but found themselves a man down after David Luiz went sent off at 53'. That scenario is what made a double strike (Neymar 64' and Hulk 67') for a 3-0 lead so unlikely. Equally unexpected after that was the sudden rally by France with goals from Sissoko at 76' and Remy at 85', leaving Brazil just hanging on at the end.
Uruguay 2-1 over Germany via a PK in the 72nd minute. Germany lost despite a 17-5 shot advantage, when Josef Maier tripped Edinson Cavani to give Diego Godin the eventual match winner.
