Brazil vs. Colombia Preview & Predictions: Brazil World Cup 2014 Quarter Final Match (ESPN-TV)

Brazil will face off against Colombia in a quarterfinal match of the Brazil World Cup 2014 tournament, pitting two of the tournament's strongest teams against each other.

Brazil, ranked third in the world, is expected to be the favorite in the match.

The South American team's coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said he is determined for his team to play more aggressively throughout the rest of the tournament.

"We're being too nice, too cordial with our opponents," he said, according to the Daily Mail.

"We can't be laid back every day. It's time for a change - I can't hold it in any more. It's time we defended a little differently, to go back to my style, which is more aggressive."

Colombia, ranked eighth in the world, is expected to be the underdog of the match.

The South American team's manager José Pékerman is said to be plotting Brazil's downfall, according to FIFA.com.

"So the competition becomes interesting because a team with less individual stars can disturb the balance of the other team," he said, according to the site.
