Congrats to the Oranje and their supporters (Brown Sugar that means you lol). Good luck in the next round.
Brazil were throughly schooled in the second half, particularly after the equalizer, and more importantly lost their heads, as epitomised by an inexcusable piece of indiscipline from Felipe Melo. In a similar manner, Bastos could have been sent off just before the goal.
Could have even been 3-1 at the end, if the Dutch didn't decide to play small goal on a 3 against 1...
It's quite ironic that Brazil lost this match on what Dunga attempted to make their stron point, their rock solid, disciplined defence. No communication between Melo and Julio Cesar on the first goal, non existent marking on the second. In hindsight, it doesn't seem that there was much the presence of a Ronaldinho could have done to avert this defeat, but one could also argue that they would have been up by that second goal at halftime with the likes of him on the pitch.
I think this match underlines something that few (particularly Brazil fans like myself) have had the courage to mention before...not only was this Brazil side defensive, and bridled, but they have also been fairly cynical.
In a way, it caught up with us.
Oh well, at least this way we still have a guarantee that the best team will win the tournament.
