Why so sour? You should be happy, knox. Imagine what it had meant for the future of your beloved Brazilian football if Dunga had grabbed the cup with his squad of 23 defensive midfielders. Here's your chance to bring back the samba for 2014!
First half Brazil completely outplayed Holland, but they really only have themselves to blame for their loss. Not finishing it off in the first half, sloppy lazy defending, crap goalkeeping, lack of concentration, Filipe Melo's lack of discipline (what did I say before the game about him kicking Robben, huh?)... and after Holland got that somewhat unexpected and lucky equaliser the Brazilians couldn't keep their nerves, meaning they couldn't have been all that strong mentally. I think this is where the Dutch squad has made a huge progression in the last few years. Remember this is largely the same squad who completely lost their heads in that kicking contest with Portugal during the 2006 World Cup.
Brazil scored some awesome goals this World Cup (Maicon vs the commies, Luis Fabiano vs CIV), but I haven't admired their play other than that one game vs Chile and their first half vs the Netherlands. Argentina have been so much more fun to watch.... and yes, believe it or not, Holland really did consider themselves the underdog yesterday.
Unique chance of reaching the final now. Uruguay will probably be really difficult as they're very well organised defensively and only conceded two goals so far, but I fancy our chances. I still consider Argentina and Spain the favourites to win the final.
Can't wait for Argentina v Germany today!
