Yesterdays highlights 28 June 2014

Julio Cesar is one of 11 goalkeepers to have saved two spot-kicks in a FIFA World CupTM penalty shoot-out. The
only Brazilian who achieved the feat before him was Claudio Taffarel, against the Netherlands in 1998. The
tournament record of three saves in one shoot-out was set by Portuguese stopper Ricardo against England in
2006.
Brazil have won three of the four penalty shoot-outs they have contested in this competition. Prior to yesterdays
victory, A Seleo outsmarted Italy in the 1994 Final and the Netherlands in the 1998 semi-finals, losing only to
France in the 1986 quarter-finals.
Chile have been eliminated by Brazil in each of the four campaigns in which they have progressed beyond the
first stage (1962, 1998, 2010 and 2014).
Colombia have reached the last eight of the World Cup for the first time, their previous best performance being
a Round of 16 appearance in 1990.
Jose Pekerman is unbeaten in nine games as a coach in the World Cup. Before winning four matches with
Colombia in this tournament, he guided Argentina to three victories and two draws in 2006.
At 22 years and 11 months old, James Rodriguez is the fourth-youngest player to have scored in four
consecutive World Cup games, behind Teofilo Cubillas (21 years and three months in 1970), Ferenc Bene (1966)
and Pele (1958-1962), who were both 21 years and seven months old.
Yesterdays defeat by Colombia means that Uruguay have lost their last three meetings with fellow South
American teams in the World Cup, after having won the first five between 1930 and 1962.

Match facts for Netherlands Mexico

The Netherlands have fared slightly better in the sides' six previous encounters, winning three, losing two and
drawing one.
That solitary stalemate was played out in the pairs only prior FIFA World CupTM meeting, during the group round
in 1998. It finished 2-2 after the Oranje had gone 2-0 ahead through Phillip Cocu and Ronald De Boer, only for
Mexico to snatch a point with goals from Ricardo Pelaez on 75 minutes and Luis Hernandez in stoppage time.
Mexico have qualified for the Round of 16 in each of the last five editions (since 1994), but only ever reached
the quarter-finals in 1970 and 1986 when they were the host team.
The Netherlands were the most prolific scorers in the first round, netting ten goals. The Dutch teams best tally
for a single edition is 15 goals, which they achieved in both the 1974 and 1978 campaigns.
Mexico had the joint-best defence in the group stage alongside Costa Rica and Belgium, with only one goal
conceded.
Wesley Sneijder could play his 15th World Cup game and clinch the Dutch appearance record ahead of Ruud
Krol, Wim Jansen and Johnny Rep.

The pairs only previous encounter was a friendly match played in St Etienne in 2009 that Nigeria won 1-0,

Italy after extra time in 1994, followed by Denmark in 1998.
If selected, Joseph Yobo will play his 10th World Cup match and claim the Nigerian appearance record ahead of

Match facts for Germany Algeria

Both of the sides previous engagements were won by Algeria. The first was a friendly in 1964 that ended 2-0
courtesy of goals from Khennane Mahi and Ahmed Oudjani. The second match, which finished 2-1 at the 1982
World Cup following goals by Rabah Madjer, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Lakhdar Belloumi, was the first
African victory over a European team in the competitions history.
That 1982 triumph was Algerias only World Cup win against European opposition. Since then Les Fennecs have
mustered three draws and four defeats against UEFA teams.
That same result in 1982 was Germanys only World Cup defeat at the hands of African opponents, against
whom Die Nationalelf have also collected four wins and two draws.
Germany enter this match on the back of seven consecutive Round of 16 victories from 1986 to 2010.
This is the 80th World Cup fixture pitting European and African teams against each other. UEFA representatives
have the better head-to-head record, with 40 wins, 22 draws and 16 defeats. The only missing result relates to
the Round of 16 duel between France and Nigeria that will be played just a few hours before this game.
