Netherlands - Brazil (July 2) [Quarter Final]
Worthy of a final this one really. My pick - Brazil 2:1 .
I think the Dutch has the talent to beat Brazil but the infighting among the team may yet again be the cause of their undoing. Either ways, we can expect a great game.

Not really. I think Netherlands winning shouldn't really be perceived as an upset. They had an exceptional qualifying run and are 1 of the 2 teams to have won all their games so far in this tournament (and their group was not really an easy one).
Its going to be one of those games that is really going to take some moments of magic to score. Brazil have a far more solid defense and a world class goal keeper than previous years and the Dutch have De Jong and Van Bommel to stifle the deadly counter attacks that Brazil can launch.
Expect to see plays similar to the one that created Villa's goal against Portugal or one of those Robben rockets to open this one up.

I don't see Holland winning, even with Brazil's injuries. I don't.

I think if anyone can challenge Brazil, it's Holland.

I think it's fair to say you eat those words?
I am so freaking happy to see Brazil gone! I don't think they were ready for what the Dutch brought out in the 2nd half. I don't think anyone expected them to win but thank fucking god they did!
That's pretty epic for the Netherlands, pat yourselves on the back guys - well done!

The Dutch played well, but I would have liked for Elano and Ramires to have played. But in the end, none of that matters. They deserved the win.
