Quarterfinal Day 1
Why root for France? They've shown the potential to be devastating on attack, though their last two match has been underwhelming, Plus Paul Pogba's hair!
Why root for Germany? After routing Portugal 4-0, Germany has been utterly flat in their performance. So unless you're German, root for France.
Why root for Brazil? This tournament for Neymar and co is basically "win-or-bust", so they'll need every bit of support despite being not nearly convincing enough thus far.
Why root for Colombia? We're witnessing a star in the making in James (Ha-mes) Rodriguez here, plus you can dance along to their goal celebrations!
