BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is predicting the outcome of every game at the 2014 Fifa World Cup.
Lawro chose the correct winner in three of the four quarter-finals, wrongly backing Belgium to knock out Argentina, who were his pre-tournament pick to win the final on 13 July.
He picked the correct winner in each of the eight last-16 ties and enjoyed a 50% success record in the group stage, correctly guessing the outcome of 24 of the 48 games.
The only group he failed to get a single correct result in was Group D, which was surprisingly won by Costa Rica as England finished bottom.
Before the tournament, Lawro chose 11 out of the 16 teams that went through to the first knockout stage.
Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
Brazil v Germany (21:00 BST)
I initially thought Brazil were in big trouble once we found out that Neymar's injury had ruled him out of the tournament, to go with Thiago Silva's suspension for this game.
But now I have got a funny feeling that Brazil might win, partly because I think the whole nation no longer expects them to.
I think the players who come in for that duo will have a point to prove and Neymar was very, very quiet in the quarter-final against Colombia anyway.
Home advantage will again count for them and remember Germany have not looked that convincing either.
