Tonight s world cup semifinal between brazil and germany, it s hard to talk about brazil as an underdog, favorite to win this tournament on home soil for years but after losing star striker neymar to a back injury, it seems like the tides have turned. germany has hoisted the trophy three times. had some weak moments in this tournament but have a knack for coming through when it matters most, ice in their vein. will brazil survive without neymar or will germany live up to the hype in the two face off at 4:00 eastern, and kate and john, is it 4:00 yet, because i m excited? exactly. very excited. very, very close. it s almost 4:00. can we go back to that strangling? i don t know all the rules in australian rules football but i m pretty sure choking a guy is not one of them. while signature on his chest. not supposed to happen. know one rule. you re not supposed to choke. i don t think four games is enough.
great. great to be here. not serena williams, but winning her second wimbledon title a short time ago, kvitova. made it look easy, cruising to victory in less than an hour and won on the grass courts in 2011, and it didn t end well. a bright side. the first canadian man or woman to reach the tennis grand slam final. wow. congrats to her. yeah. a bittersweet moment for soccer fans in brazil. the host nation advances to the world cup semifinals but without star striker neymar. he fractured a vertebrae during that collision in the closing minutes their win over colombia. it looks terrible, and he s not out for the rest of the world cup. the way he s grimacing. a knee to the back. doesn t that come with the sport, maybe it doesn t hurt.
To victory in about 45 minutes. also won on the crass courts back in 2011. a bittersweet moment for soccer fans in brazil. the host nation advances to the world cup semifinals, but it will be without star striker neymar who fractured a vertebra during this collision in the closing minutes of brazil the 2-1 win against colombia yesterday and he s out for the rest of the tournament. now we re wondering, who will four goals and one assist in the world cup this year. and the super bowl of bicycle racing gets under way today. this year the tour de france will actually start in england. not unusual. the race passes through neighboring kunlds sometimes. two years ago the tour began in belgium. it finishes in paris july 27th. i just can t get over this story about neymar. wondering, is brazil going to crumble or say win it for neymar? they may surprise you. could be a rallying point,
