xbox 360 ultimate team coins looked extremely imposing offensively, pressuring Greek’s defenders from the midfield on up. The three goals represents the most Colombia has scored in a World Cup game since 1962. Colombia looks like the class of Group C, especially after adding a third goal for emphasis. Greece, on the other hand, couldn’t finish on its few chances and didn’t have the legs to run with Colombia in front of a decidedly partisan crowd.

93’ — GOAL!! Colombia 3-0!!! James Rodriguez buries a left-footed shot from the top of the box and that’ll do it. Could come in handy for goal differential.

90’ — Three minutes added for extra time. Credit to the refs for keeping this game under control aside from a couple justified yellows. Colombia continues to press up the field and hold possession in the attacking third. Greece is all but done.

85’ — Samaras with a low driving shot towards the left post misses just wide. Greece has had four or five significant chances, but they just can’t keep it on frame. It could easily be 2-2.

82’ — Greece works it into the box hoping to draw a foul but nothing there. They look outclassed by Colombia and look especially gassed with about 10 minutes left.

76’ — Porto’s Jackson Martinez, a prolific goal scorer, comes on for Teo Gutierrez, who knocked in the second goal. Martinez is excellent, however there’s no need for Colombia to score again save for goal differential. Close this game out, maintain possession and avoid injuries.

1:33 p.m. ET: Again, no explanation for this miss from Gekas. It’s just awful finishing.

73’ — Pablo Armero (your first goal scorer) comes out as Arias comes in to bolster the defense.

69’ — The Greeks are still pressing up in dire need of a goal, but their touch just isn’t there. Couple that with Colombia’s two-goal lead and Los Cafeteros look confident. They might score another off a counter-attack, but there’s no reason not to maintain possession for the majority of the second.

1:23 p.m ET: Colombia’s second goal — an easy flick-in off the deflection for Teo.

62’ — Greece’s Gekas misses a wide-open header off the woodwork. Incredible touch to save the ball from going out of bounds, but Greece absolutely had to have that. An open goal yields nothing.

58’ — GOAL!!! COLOMBIA LEADS 2-0!Teo Gutierrez knocks in a corner kick that deflected in front of the mouth of the goal. All four of Greece’s goal in qualifying came while defending set pieces, and the man marking on that piece cost them immensely.

55’ — Another poor challenge from Salpingidis charging back from his position draws a yellow. Again, Colombia can’t capitalize despite a nice header across the goal face.

52’ — Nasty, nasty challenge from Sokratis on Ibarbo draws a yellow. Just outside the box and Colombia shoots its set piece into the wall. Really reckless stuff from the Greek defense. It might have earned an ejection in some referees’ eyes.

48’ — WE’RE OFF! Samaras again with some beautiful foot work along the left side. He went down, but waves his finger acknowledging that there wasn’t enough contact to warrant a penalty. James Rodriguez rips a shot at Karnezis in response but he deflects it before a clearance.

Halftime: Colombia 1, Greece 0

This sprawling save kept Colombia ahead.

FIFA 14 Ultimate Team PC Coins changed the entire dynamic of the first half. It seemed to ease the pressure on the Colombians while in turn, forcing the Greeks to attack. Twice they nearly tied it up, but a late-half save from Ospina maintained Colombia’s edge. It must be said that the environment at Belo Horizonte is incredible. Only Brazil’s opening match could rival the intensity and passion on display from the Colombian supporters.
