At half-time there appeared to be only one winner but ten minutes into the second half the Brazilian keeper Julio Cesar came for a Wesley Sneijder cross and missed it – he flapped at the ball – and it hit the head of his team mate Felipe Melo. The Dutch barely threatened and when they did the Brazilian defence ruthlessly stopped Arjen Robben who was repeatedly fouled by Michel Bastos. 2010 World Cup Quarter-final: Brazil vs NetherlandsDF: Well, if ever a game was one of two halves then this was it with the Brazilians starting well and scoring early – a through ball cut open the Dutch defence which Robinho latched on to sweep home after only 10 minutes. I also feel that the Dutch have one good game in them and this could be the one, while Robben looks very impressive and I feel if he or one of his team mates scores first then it will be very interesting to see how Brazil cope. Despite these top players, however, I am going to go for Holland partly because I feel the pressure on Brazil – and particularly on Dunga – is simply too heavy for them to bear. True, the Dutch have Sneijder, Van Persie and Robben but Brazilian fans point to Robinho, Fabiano, Maicon and Kaká.

The Spanish played their typical possession-based game though didn’t really have a cutting edge up front and had to wait until late in extra time for the winner courtesy of Andrés Iniesta – four minutes before the game would have gone to penalties.Though a deserved winner of the tournament, Spain won all their knock-out games by 1-0 suggesting that they weren’t the free-flowing side of previous years either although they went on to retain the European Championship title two years later to cap a remarkable six year domination of world football. The two sides played two very different styles: the Dutch were happy to sit back – to sit deep is another way of saying this – and hoped the pace of Arjen Robben on the counter attack would pay off – definitely not the total football introduced by Cruyff and his team mates in the 1970s. Now, the final was one of the dirtiest ever played, a game littered with fouls, which saw 14 yellow cards and one red (for the Netherlands defender Heitinga), although their midfielder Nigel de Jong was lucky not to see red after a very high tackle on Xabi Alonso in the first half. The favourites for the tournament were out and the Dutch moved on to the semi-finals.Stinger: You are listening to languagecaster.com (in Dutch)What happened next? 2010 World Cup Final: Spain v NetherlandsThe Dutch faced Uruguay in the semi-final and comfortably beat the South American side 3-2 to qualify for their third World Cup final – this time against Spain who were playing in their first final. Ten minutes after that, Brazilian midfielder Felipe Melo was sent off for a stamp on Robben and the ten men of Brazil never really looked like coming back after that in fact the Dutch could have extended their lead in the final minutes but for some poor finishing.
