(CNN) -- Brazil had promised there would be a time where the world would finally see a special player. He wears a yellow shirt emblazoned with the number 10 and produces moments of magic which mere mortals can scarcely dream of replicating -- unless on their games console. He's 22 years of age -- a player with quick feet, a mind which sees each and every move before his opponents have drawn breath, a player who can score a goal when for all the world it appears impossible. What Brazil didn't promise is that he would wear the yellow of Colombia -- and his name is James Rodriguez.

As @placeholder ran away to celebrate with what has become an almost traditional dance, Uruguay appeared stunned by what had just occurred.

That goal, which arrived five minutes after the interval, killed off any hopes @placeholder might have had of launching a comeback.
