As impressed I am with Netherlands' teamwork and passing, I am not impressed with their athleticism, speed and strength (compared to Brazil)... I think Brazil have the edge in these three and those can prove crucial.

 

I just can't see Netherlands attacking Brazil... they can't match the strength and speed of Brazil and Brazil's D is very good.

 

Netherlands has been a great dance but time for me to ditch my symbol of luck and side with Brazil this time... 2-0 Brazil.

What a matchup, Netherlands has an awesome offense, I can see Sneijder and Robben giving Brazil some trouble, this game is a lot bigger than people think, the Netherlands havent lost in years, not in qualifying, not in a friendly, not in the WC, in great form.

Dam I hate the Dutch. How can Van Bommel not get a yellow card after 5-6 fouls. They earned the win today though, Robben, although he is my least favourite player, really made a difference and Sneijder was just terrific.

Netherlands played with better energy... they didn't look as slow as they did in Slovakia game.

 

Should have never ditched my symbol of luck Netherlands... they really impressed me and proved me wrong.

 

Brazil played with a lot of swagger early when Netherlands equalized, it's as if Brazil never "practice" to deal with own goal disappointment... from there they looked out of sorts.

 

Great game... lost $$$ though :(

Brazil was superior to Holland in the first half with their creativity and quick touches but after that own goal...they lost all composure, started complaining too much and that's when the door for Holland and Robben really opened up. Felipe Melo is an idiot..he shoulda been taking out way before that red card, and I still don't understand why the took out Luis Fabiano.

 

btw..i hate Van Bommel, lol. Dives, complains, and fouls every 2 secs.
