Match & Result: Netherlands vs Brazil (02 Jul 2010)Winner: [to be updated after game]
Score: Netherlands(2) vs Brazil(1)

68′ Sneijder (Netherlands)
53′ Melo (Netherlands)
10′ Robinho (Brazil)

Recap

This is a hurt breaker as Brazil got eliminated by Netherlands. Brazil is ranked number 1 in FIFA and they were expected to win this year and not get eliminated in the quarter-finals.

Brazil scored a goal quickly on the 10th minute via a breakaway by Robinho. That goal proved to be the final score by Brazil.

Netherlands would not go away and they got their equalizer on the 53rd minute on a huge error by Julio Ceasar, goalkeeper of Brazil. The goalkeeper went ahead and charged to the ball where he hit on a collision with fellow Brazilian.

Sneijder got a goal via a header pass from fellow dutchman who got the ball via a free kick from Arjen Robben. That was a beautiful goal which freezed Julio Ceasar on his tracks.

Netherlands played aggressively even when they got the lead were Brazilian Melo lost his temper and was sent off with a red card.

I think that was a stupid move, the Finals is in the line and this guy losing it at the biggest stage in the world was unacceptable.

Key Takeaway

This was a historic upset and Brazil bowing out after leading most of the way via the goal of Robinho. The Brazilian squad never showed urgency until Netherlands scored the second goal from which Brazil attacked aggressively but Netherlands just wouldn’t move an inch. These guys stayed with the five time champions every step of the way.

Pre-game: Netherlands vs Brazil (02 Jul 2010)Match Details
Netherlands-Brazil, Quarter Finals, Nelson Mandela Bay, Wednesday 02 July, 16.00 (local time)

Why Brazil would win?

Kaka, Fabiano, Robinho are deadly attackers who can setup plays, control possession, put the ball on their half, wait for an opening and score a goal. These guys are going to do this over and over again until they bury their opponents.

Brazil is very aggressive but patient and they can control and bring the game to their opponent.

Brazil are favorites to win this tournament and expect this team to go all the way.

Why Netherlands would win?

Netherlands was never challenged in the group stage and with attackers Arjen Robben, and Robin van Persie leading the charge, the dutchmen can outplay and score a goal or two. They have the ability to hold off their opponents and these guys are here to win.

Key Takeaway

This is a highly anticipated game and expect these two teams who would have had the power to win this finals are meeting in the quarter finals. Expect high octane game from these two teams.
