Pint-sized World Cup: Day Twenty-three
Brazil will meet Germany in the first World Cup semi-final, but the hosts will have to continue the tournament without their starman - Neymar. The 22-year-old fractured a vertebra in his back during their quarter-final win over Colombia which included a brilliant David Luiz free-kick.
It was a mixed night for their captain Thiago Silva, who scored the first goal but was also booked meaning he's suspended for the semi-final.
Alan Green and Chris Waddle thought the Brazilians were lucky after some favourable refereeing decisions. Chris Waddle went as far to say - 'if Brazil win it, they'll be the worst team to ever win a World Cup.' Their style has been criticised, but former England international Danny Mills insisted that if the Three Lions were in this position - they'd be no complaints.
An early Mats Hummels header was enough for Germany to overcome France in the other quarter-final.
