brazil didn't take the full advantage in the first half and they blew chunks once holland went on the attack. when robben is at the edge of the penalty area nobody is safe and holland actually dominated the midfiled, with a lot of fouls, but they did not let brazil play.

I think in the first half, Brazil were on cruise control, expecting to just stroll to a 1 or 2-0 victory and, to be honest, until that own goal, it looked like that'd be the case. It's not a slur on Holland's second half performance but I do think Brazil panicked after that equaliser, and just lost any structure. They're set up to counter-attack and once Holland scored they knew they'd have to chase the game and they simply weren't equipped to do it. They just imploded, lost all discipline and if anything were lucky not to have gone down 3-1. Absolutely well done to holland but I think Brazil have only themselves to blame for the final result.
