Fifa World Cup 2010

I'm not sure why you say this.

Yes, the poor awareness of Melo and the fortunate bounce that led to the second goal is why I say that. Brazil played very well in the first half.

While the Dutch can play extremely well, today's game didn't show it. Had the Brazilians played like they did against Chili today's result would have been different. Maybe they underestimated the Dutch or overestimated their ability.

It doesn't matter at the end of the day. The Dutch won. I'm glad for them, but do feel sorry for the cleaning crews tomorrow.

Edit: I worded my earlier statement a bit too strongly. It wasn't completely undeserved. Especially considering the amount of fouls by the Brazilian team in the first half.

Brazil eliminated - always my favorite World Cup moment.

Pistols at dawn, sir!

Brazil played like it was bipolar. A great first half, followed inexplicably by an apathic second half, which devolved into frantic, mindless derangement.

And the Orange had a lot of fouls as well, specially as the game started.

Wouldn't that ball have hit the goal, nonetheless? It didn't look like it was really brought off-course by Melo's head.

It looked like Melo is pushing up against the goalie. If he hadn't been there the goalie should have knocked it out of harms way. www.dumpert.nl - Nederland vs. Brazilië 2-1 from 30 seconds.

But it doesn't matter. Brazil has won enough.

Paraguay/Spain - Spain wins! That was a great game played by two fantastic teams, but the refereeing really left something to be desired. It was a shame someone had to lose. My hat's off to both teams.

Man, I've had fun watching all the games, nonetheless!

I drew Holland in the office sweepstake - now they're in the last four I'm up by at least £2 (yay me and my big dreams!). Every game they win now gets more me money!

Germany were awesome today against Argentina, and Spain just worked and worked to get their game won. Awesome stuff from both.
