Brazil v Chile: Julio Cesar the punishment shootout saint as hosts achieve World Cup 2014 quarter-finals

'Eu acredito' (I accept) beseeched the Brazil fans – entreated the entire of Brazil – and this brilliant country at long last, some way or another figured out how to thrashing Chile and stay in this World Cup. It would have been the apocalypse without it. It would have been the sound of 200 million hearts breaking.

Rather that clamor was the stunning, primal, arguing and the festivals were a heavenly tsunami of easing. Brazil are into the quarter-finals yet would they be able to recuperate from this rapidly enough? Can they conceivably manage this sort of feeling?

Brazil discovered a way and they discovered a saint. Goalkeeper Julio Cesar, Queens Park Rangers reject, battling to discover a club last season, addressed concerning whether he was worth his spot, spared two punishments in the shoot-out of this remarkably severe enthusiasm play which existed on adrenalin and the persistent craving of two countries, two groups and a viewing world. Nobody needed it to complete.

Brazil are into the last eight and those scenes at the end were basically surprising. There were tears, there were surges of tears: tears of easing from Brazil, tears of anguish from Chile, the conceded toward oneself renegades of this World Cup who battled and battled and who just about sacked a definitive prize.

David Luiz and Neymar, on their knees, embraced one another in the core loop with Luiz supporting the youthful striker's head in request to God. Neymar's shoulders hurled, selling out his own particular tears.

There were even tears from Cesar before the shoot-out. "My tears? I'm a passionate individual," he said. "I was yelling in light of the fact that few partners came to be supporting me and letting me know pleasant, wonderful things. What will crown this is to kiss and hold the World Cup with a large number of Brazilians."

There was recovery for Cesar and in addition salvation – given the way he was rebuked for Brazil's passageway in the 2010 World Cup for a mix-up against Holland in the quarter-finals. "I was named a scalawag," the 34-year-old said. "In four years I needed to discover the quality. This match demonstrates on the off chance that you have a dream, follow it."

It was just about surreal, additionally. As Gonzalo Jara – who had prior tragically scored an own objective – hammered what would be the last punishment against the post it was a safeguard who has been discharged by the Championship club Nottingham Forest attempting to beat a goalkeeper not esteemed adequate for an alternate Championship club. That was essentially peculiar given the stakes and the grandness of the event.

There was more straightforward English inclusion with arbitrator Howard Webb who undermined the indignation of this immense nation by effectively precluding an "objective" by Hulk, when the scores were 1-1, for handball. There were wails of connivance, ineptitude, asserts that Brazil were playing against the authorities and not simply Chile and regardless of the fact that it was a peripheral call it was the right one. Also it hushed prematch guarantees that Webb would be affected in backing of the hosts.

Still it didn't quiet Brazil mentor Luiz Felipe Scolari grumbling. "In the event that its a punishment, its a punishment. In the event that its a foul, its a foul. On the off chance that its an objective, its an objective," he said. "Things were beginning to get bizarre here." They were most certainly not. Anyhow they were unfeeling. Brutal that one of these two energetic countries and their supporters would be losing their group at this World Cup; that it was over for Chile's rich mentor and their gallant band of players headed by the splendid Alexis Sánchez who Barcelona under-utilization and who Liverpool need to sign.

Sánchez scored. He drove Chile on and like his buddies could scarcely stroll at the end. Cardiff City's Gary Medel played with a torn leg muscle however was industrious and carried on until he essentially couldn't bear on any more.

Arturo Vidal was not fit however he took the battle to Brazil with expertise and industriousness and an 'in-your-face' disobedience. It was an amazing match-up.

The climate, the surroundings, the weight – it was all massively extraordinary and exceptional. Handles were snapped into, adversaries jumped over, no space ceded. Each contact prompted challenges. Each toss in, corner, free-kick. It was a tenacious display. "I let them know to battle, be overcome and do something worth remembering," Chile mentor Jorge Sampaoli proclaimed. "That is the reason our matches have been so extreme. The players have given everything for Chile and took a chance with their own particular prosperity. They have protected our shades with pride and with boldness." But this was at another level – almost as the decibels additionally climbed when Brazil scored.

Neymar sent in the corner, unnecessarily surrendered by Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, Thiago Silva flicked it on and there was Luiz to jab the ball over the line. He asserted it, in any case, aside from the key touch was off Jara's thigh as he tested the safeguard.

Be that as it may then Brazil were shocked. Chile struck back. Furthermore it was down to messy play by Marcelo and Hulk and a cool completion from Sánchez. Brazil took a toss in, Hulk's return ball to Marcelo was lethargically short and Eduardo Vargas stole ownership to select Sánchez who took one touch and, as Silva attempted to square, stroked a low shot past Cesar.

Brazil required a reaction. Their fans were soothed, their group had paid the cost for their detached protecting yet, everywhere throughout the pitch, it was delightful tumult. Neymar's header was redirected wide, an alternate endeavored leeway cannoned off Fred and over the bar and Bravo tipped away Dani Alves' capable dipping drive.

Brazil thought they had the leap forward. It came as Hulk cut down a profound cross and controlled the ball past Bravo with his knee. As he commended, Webb mediated. Mass' arm was out as he controlled the ball – it was spotted by aide ref Mike Mullarkey – and the "goal" was refused.

The stewing Scolari, on the touchline, was losing it, begging Webb yet then it was anguish for Chile as Cesar, splendidly, blocked Charles Aránguiz's compelling first-time shot after the ball had been reduced to him by Mauricio Isla after a cunning trade of passes with Vidal.

The boos started. Chile were picking up a lot of control and Brazil's feelings had sapped them. In despondency the swarm attempted to stir them – shouting "lift yourselves" – and it was Hulk who reacted with an effective shot that Bravo pushed away. Before that and a snappy change of feet purchased Hulk space to bolt in a cross from the left with Jo running in at the far post. Unquestionably the substitute striker would change over? Rather Jo swiped at the ball, under weight from Eugenio Mena, and it skimmed off his leg and away.

At this point it was Chile who seemed used, out-on-their-feet, hanging on for punishments. Anyway then there was practically the most sensational of stings as they split away with substitute Mauricio Pinilla trading passes and hammering a shot from the territory's edge that had Cesar beaten. It cannoned over off the bar. Brazil survived. "In the event that we had scored we could have mapped history always," Sampaoli said. He was correct.

"The field of stoutness and weight reduction is brimming with typical ways of thinking that have not been subjected to thorough testing; we have now discovered that one such conviction does not appear to hold up when tried."

This study could be the initial phase in re-assessing what is critical in a solid, adjusted eating methodology. It will prompt further examinations concerning viable weight reduction, additionally surely to a change in nature of future studies in this field.

Portugal v Ghana: Cristiano Ronaldo bows out of World Cup 2014 regardless of scoring in 2-1 win

Involved hips, bottom lip push out, sighing profoundly, Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup finished here in Brasilia with a yowl. The best footballer on the planet was not able to convey his nation the stonking win they required. His keep going movement on the field in Brazil was to plant the ball in the hands of the Ghanaian goalkeeper when clean through on objective, and beat the turf in dissatisfaction.

A 2-1 triumph over Ghana was insufficient for the Portuguese to advancement, the maestro's 80th-minute left-foot strike never sufficient.

"We knew it was convoluted," said Ronaldo after the amusement, as he gained his man-of-the-match recompense. "We merited all the more, however that is football. We attempted our best, however we couldn't do it."

In truth on this revealing to, it is tricky to contend that the World Cup will be poorer for their unlucky deficiency. In the emotional, stupendous Garrincha Stadium in the Brazilian capital, Portugal were anything besides, striving to break down a group who gave off an impression of being ready and waiting, their assurance in strips after inner rebellion. Yet, don't bother the three acceptable objectives they needed to qualify, the Portuguese required outside support even to get on the scoresheet.

In the 31st moment, they led the pack through a Ghanaian own objective. Miguel Veloso's traverse his own particular goalkeeper by the thrashing leg of John Boye. What aggravated it was that Portugal's assault had come to fruition after an inopportune intercession by Nawaf Shukralla, the ref. The Bahraini authority had unintentionally ended up in the method for a looking cross-field ball from Andre Ayew that looked to be setting Christian Atsu in on objective. Ayew was angry with the informant's situating. Be that as it may more regrettable was to take after, as the ball regurgitated go into Portuguese ownership, setting up the strike from which they scored.

One, however, was never going to be sufficient for Portugal. Such was their objective shortfall, they required a good looking win here, and one of Germany and the USA to be punished. What's more things got ugly when Ghana adjusted, the veteran Asamoah Gyan heading home Kwadwo Asamoah's richly welcoming cross, after fabulous form up work from Ayew in the 51st moment.

For Ghana, by then, the science were all the more empowering. One more objective may be sufficient; any win could send them through. It was off the pitch where the totals did not make any sense. On the Ghana teamsheet there was an "A" for truant printed close by Sulley Muntari and Kevin Prince Boateng. It was a delicate code word. Fifa's dictionary does not reach out to a code for having your accreditation evacuated by your Football Association and being sent home in disrespect in the wake of being blamed for physical, on account of Muntari, and verbal assaults on FA authorities in a disagreement about extra installments.

Having their best two players defenestrated on the morning of the amusement was not the best arrangement for the Ghanaian endeavor to control Ronaldo. Never one short of a reflect, the chief was brandishing another improved hairdo. He searched prepared for business. Be that as it may his touches appeared intended to show the inadequacies of his constrained buddies as opposed to open up the Ghana protection. One ball for Nani was weighted simply short, a left-foot cross after a splendid jinking run was excessively yearn for substitute Vieirinha, a pass for Jose Moutinho a little underhit.

Anyway then you could comprehend his disappointments. Used to the best on the planet in Madrid, here he was playing nearby Eder, a man whose touch was suitably poor for an enormous man. To be sure with his powerlessness to trap a ball joining with a headless strategic approach and blundering walk the Sporting Braga man looks a shoo-in for a move to the Premier League. Newcastle is my conjecture.

The Ghanaians, on the other hand, were just as not able to exploit restricted adversaries. After the glories of their last World Cup crusade, in which they were however a Luis Suárez trick from making the semi-finals, they excessively have left here in disillusionment. One Ghanaian writer turned on the mentor, Akwasi Appiah, after the diversion, getting some information about the lanes of Accra falling noiseless on the last whistle.

"Ghana is a football-cherishing nation. Separated from governmental issues, it is the thing that everybody contemplates most," Appiah countered. "In any case at this level anything could happen. The best nation is as of now out of the opposition. Execution insightful I accept all Ghanaians ought to be content with the way the adolescent group played. There is a desire for what's to come."

Without a doubt, in the endeavors of Asamoah, Atsu and Ayew there was genuine probability. The resolute soul as exhibited in the draw against Germany seemed not to be undermined by changing area liquefy down. These were players resolved to do their bit for their country.

The issue was, they had nobody to change over the chances they strived to make. A loathsome miss by Majeed Waris, who spooned a header wide when he ended up unmarked five yards out amidst objective, was demonstrative of their issue. How Ghana would have been converted by a figure, for example, Ronaldo. What's more how Ronaldo would have profited from having a group around him. Rather he will now be obliged to watch on TV as Lionel Messi, Arjen Robben and Thomas Müller keep on illuminating this competition. He won't be anticipating that.
