Brazil are a bit fiery in the opening encounters.

Robinho opens the scoring for Brazil.

Abysmal defending by the Netherlands there. Robinho latches onto a beautiful through ball through the heart of the Dutch defence to make it 1-0.

That's the early goal this game needed imo. Now the Dutch will be forced to come out and attack and we could be in for an epic here.

So Brazil lead 1-0 at half time. Very entertaining first half with Brazil looking very good and the Dutch defending fairly well after that early mistake.

That Maicon shot at the end was eerily reminiscent of the goal in 1970 that Carlos Alberto scored after having the ball layed off from the edge of the D by Pele.

EQUALISER! 1-1.

Fucking shit from Melo and Cesar getting in each others way.

WOW!!! HOLLAND 2-1!!!!!

Sneijder makes it 2-1. Nice flick on from Kuyt, and a neat header to finish. Brazil have looked all over the shop since half time.

SNEIJDER MAKES IT 2-1!!!!1

And that's what zonal marking gets you. What the fuck kind of defending is that. Gilberto Silva and Felipe Melo standing 2 yards away and Sneijder has a free header inside the 6 yard box.

Brazil look in big big trOuble now. After having their defense talked up so much it has fallen apart in this second half.

CMON ORANJE

Melo just completely lost it.

Brazil have just completely fallen apart.

Fucking disgraceful from Melo what a cunt.

Oh the joy of seeing the Samba boys fall apart\:d/ \:d/ \:d/

Brazil - WTF?

Are the Netherlands favorites if they win this. I'd say they are.

No. Germany or Argentina would still be favourites for me.

I'd call the Netherlands favourites just because they have the more favourable side of the draw. Argentina and Germany still have to get past Spain just to make it to the final.

I'm tipping a Ntherlands Spain Final just like I did at the start of the tournament.

So the Netherlands win 2-1 to go through ti the Semis.

That's a big fuck you to Craig Foster and everyone else who complained that they didn't play Total Football:lol:

Either way, Netherlands would have to play either Germany, Argie or Spain in the final. I wouldn't fancy them against any of those.

That said, I wouldn't have fancied them for this game either. :P

Brazil capitulated after halftime. Only really have themselves to blame. Holland looked dead and buried until Sneijder scored.

So, what happened to the Argentina vs Brazil final everyone was expecting? :P

WOW :shock: did not expect that at half time!

Before the game the Dutch were paying $8.00 to win the cup and I thought maybe I should stick a sly $50 on it, but it was Brazil so no chance!

Holland are seriously in with a big chance, not playing Ducth football but maybe thats what they need?

Great diving! Football is in dire straits if someone is touched they will hit the deck. It is starting to resemble a foul a minute like basketball. Give me the EPL or the A-league, the refs stuff up but 90 percent of time are invisible. In a World Cup game they decide who wins.

Anyone else think Dunga is on his way out now.

Of course he is, are you kidding Brazil just went out at the quarter finals when he was already getting hammered at home. Good. As. Gone.

By who? Brazil looked the divers to me except for one Dutch instance.

Suck sh*t Brazil you cocky hot tempered fools. Being half Dutch I was getting into the Dutch beer and hoping for my second team to pull it off :D

Brazil were completely lost when they found that they were both out-paced and out-skilled in the general passing and possession game. If it weren't for total stuff ups it actually would've been 2-0 to Holland IMO, maybe even 3-0. Both of the first two were "gimmies", the Brazilians didn't miss any easy ones but Holland missed a stack!

FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :d \:d/ :o :d \:d/



^ not to sydcro but i do agree that dunga is one the way out

Now to watch a replay of Uruguay vs South Korea. :D :D :D

Yep. I'm gonna feel like crap tomorrow...

Big question is who do they bring in?

and i've got a game at 10:30 in the morning

Dunga has already quit. Official word coming

Sulley Muntari makes it 1-0 to Ghana on the stroke of half time. A speculative shot from 45 yards out sees Muslera unsighted and caught out by the bend in the ball.

Ghana take a deserved lead imo they were good value and dominated for a lot of that half. Uruguay started well but dropped off a bit.

Will be interesting to see how Uruguay react in the second half.
