Holland 2, Brazil 1

July 2, 2010 by dberenstein

Well done!

Holland just eliminated Brazil from the World cup by 2-1, defeating the odds.

Even though Holland played a bad first half making a huge defensive mistake to give Brazil a first goal and it looked like they were going to go down very badly, they took over in the second half and played really well. The first goal for Holland was a huge defensive mistake from Brazil.  After that Brazil lost concentration and the dutch defense was actually doing a very good job.

The second goal from Holland was a well executed play and it was an incredible double header against a taller  Brazil.

In the last few minutes Holland wasted what should have been a third goal when they had three forwards going on against the goalie and I still can’t understand how they screwed it up. Here’s the winning goal.

Also, here is a link to the highlights.

    The soccer gods are playing for us this year! (for those who wonder about odds, it took us 40 years to get back here, so we’ve been bouncing balls off posts for a while now ;)

    Well, Holland was even able to eliminate Slovakia. So it’s no big deal that Brazil had to go, too. :-)
