2010 World Cup -Brazil 1 Netherlands 2 - Round of 8

[Ridders]

The only real punishment Robben took was Melo's stomp on his hammy's.

Don't rate him too highly, but I thought Kuyt was pretty good.

Brazilians are gone!!! This opens up the draw even more now. Its their for the taking for any team that wants it now.


You could definately see that this Brazil team doesnt lose often. When they conceded the first goal they panicked and didnt know what to do. Their discipline went down the drain and it was all down hill after that.

funny, almost word for word what one of the nuffy sbs analysts said.

you should form your own opinions, lol

you just missed out him saying something about luck!

Kuyt was huge, dude just keeeeeeps going.

he may act it up on the ground but all those fouls were there. He had Brazil shot mentally.

Suck a big fat one too Foster you dribbler.

 

[abpanther]

Yeah Kuyt was good, didn't stop working and his hussle gave Brazil headaches all game long

what did fozzie say?

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Wow what a result. So much intensity throughout the game, you could feel the pressure.

They'll make the final surely from here

 

[Noa]

Just bagging the Dutch in general about there style of play, which I admit can be boring, but when on to say if the Dutch win it its a poor world cup, after just saying how great Brazil and Spain are. He is so naive in his opinions sometimes and I reckon pundits from Europe or SA would laugh at his views.

For those who never heard Jonny Warren, he basically parrots him (not co-incidently I thought Warren was a dribbler most of the time as well).

 

[abpanther]

Was he close to tears as always?

 

[eels bloke]

Brazil are deserved favourites but I think the Dutch can pull off a surprise. Robben wasn't fit or firing at the start of the tournament but now he is and they are difficult to break down. Up the Oranje!

Good Call.

Best game of the tournament thus far IMO

 

[aqua_duck]

I rkn Dutch better off with Huntelaar upfront, Van Persie looked pretty crap

 

[Covellius Maximus]

I'm cheering for the Dutch now just to laugh in the face of Craig Foster. Foz can piss me off sometimes with analysis saying how boring the Dutch are and how great Brazil are to watch. Well boring or not they knocked out Brazil haha. I'd like to see them go all the way.

 

[kia ora storm]

Dunga is now on the heap !!!.

 

[Twizzle]

Dunga is now on the heap !!!.

he quit like about an hour after the game finished

 

[DB]

I have money on the dutch when they were paying $10, so I am going for them now

 

[pantherz9103]

I predicted 2-1 to Holland in the top tipper competition! Wish I had put my money where my mouth is. Holland v Spain final is still alive.

Huntelaar was rubbish when he came on. Depsite being fresh hardly pressed and his touch was awful. The way the Dutch are playing you need some-one like VP who can create his own shot, Huntelaar cant do that.

May be a blessing in disguise to that De Jong is out, means they may go with a more creative midfield of VDV and Sneijder.

 

[Big Mick]

I'm hoping for a Holland vs Germany final.

I got money on both. Come on!

I'll take that, as I have money on both to win the whole thing

Don't watch much soccer but that 1st half was easily the best I've seen from both sides, especially Brazil.

Brazil were amazing, the only thing that saved the Dutchies was that save by their keeper from Kaka's shot. It would have been two nil if that had gone in and Brazil probably would have won. But then they seemed to fall to bits in the second half under the pressure, their passing let them down and then the send off. Shame to see them out but good luck to the Netherlands.
