Terrible mistake by Julio Cesar. Second time he has fluffed on a cross today.

Holland 1-1 Brazil ... both teams are going to have to go for it now. Should be a great finish.
ARRRGGGH

Its my last day and I still can't cut out to watch a great match. Boooo
The defender had it covered, easy header to clear the ball, Julio Cesar came over his back and tried to punch it but missed the ball entirely and the cross swung into the back of the net. Awful mistake.
Oooo, I'll have to watch that in highlights ASAP.

Brazil have had a man sent off. Down to ten men.

Holland are threatening on the counter. They may get another goal here with Brazil throwing players forward.

I love Sneijder's game. Such a classy passer. Great vision and versatility in his passing.

I think he is my favourite player in World Football today.

Incredible result for Holland.

Tempted to consider them the frontrunner now. I didn't think anyone would knock off Brazil.

Watch out for Argentina! Spain is my sleeper now though.

Ohhh, long goal kick in the final minute, the Dutch were 3-on-2 (goalie + defender), in the penalty box and failed to get a shot on goal. Unbelievable. Should have ended Brazil's hopes there.

Alexi Lalas is going to brag about how he predicted this now.

Payback is a ..... !  :P

Congrats to Holland! Like I predicted before the WC, this Brazil team is not good enough to take it all. And Brazil fans can 'thank' Dunga for that.

I like Dunga's style of play and not wanting to play fancy  and do everything the fancy way.  I hate how Brazil does that.  The players didn't buy into Dunga's plan enough and it cost them.

Brazil choked under the pressure. Julio Cesar's mistake was a massive blow.

The midfield let them down in the second half too, they created very little.

You can put Netherlands into the final right now.  Dang USA would have had another favorable (Netherlands still would have been favored but their chances would have been better) thing go in their way had they just beating Ghana.
