Robben dithers on the edge of the box and has his shot blocked by a defender...Kaka lets rip with a scorcher that is just barely saved.

whomario · 07-02-2010, 09:32 AM

now that was a pretty save

great run by robinho and great shot by Kaka.

They better get him out of the game quickly if that is their plan. Nice bit of skill on that setup for Kaka.

miami_fan · 07-02-2010, 09:38 AM

Silly yellow to take.

Crapshoot · 07-02-2010, 09:46 AM

Brazil are playing 7 men behind the ball here, or so it seems.

cartman · 07-02-2010, 09:47 AM

Robben is taking WAY too long to shoot.

Maicon is the same way, it's honestly crazy to watch the Brazilian players yell like they are at the refs.

stevew · 07-02-2010, 09:54 AM

I liked the dutch chicanery attempt on the corner.

Karlifornia · 07-02-2010, 09:56 AM

Brazil's players are spoiled...but they also seem to be the best. The Dutch look like they're still juuuust below the elite tier.

That was sooooo lame..lol. It would be like trying the hidden ball trick in the World Series. I suppose if it worked it would be remembered forever...but it's probably just going to make you look like a moron.

For real... there have been some instances of bad refereeing in this tournament. But the most consistently poor refereeing was the failure of the ref of even warning Ghanain players for time wasting. There was one instance of a guy just lieing on the ground in the US penalty area after his team lost possesion, forcing the stretcher to come bring him off (and of course kill a US attack when they put the ball out), and then popping up as soon as the stretcher got to the sideline. He didn't even try to hide it.

whomario · 07-02-2010, 10:09 AM

Why would anyone think that playing Van Persie as a lone striker would be a good idea ? He applies absolutely no pressure on Lucio/Juan and kind of doesn´t have a clue how and where to move wether the team has the ball or not ...

Like the referee so far, just that instance now as well. Yes it´s a foul and yes he hits Robben, but he clearly just misjudged a little and "took back" the attack when recognizing that.

wow, what a blunder by Cesar and Juan ...

DaddyTorgo · 07-02-2010, 10:10 AM

GOAL!! HOLLAND!!!

Abe Sargent · 07-02-2010, 10:10 AM

And there you are

Warhammer · 07-02-2010, 10:10 AM

Well that changes things...

stevew · 07-02-2010, 10:10 AM

there's the equalizer

kingfc22 · 07-02-2010, 10:10 AM

Poor acting leads to poor goal keeping equals a goal.

DaddyTorgo · 07-02-2010, 10:11 AM

off Felipe Melo!

cartman · 07-02-2010, 10:11 AM

Great equalizer for the Dutch!

Karlifornia · 07-02-2010, 10:11 AM

Holy balls I may have to eat my words. Good on ya, Netherlands.

whomario · 07-02-2010, 10:13 AM

Van Persie is so soft and wussy (is that a word ?), unbelievable ... Bring on Huntelaar please.

Lathum · 07-02-2010, 10:13 AM

Surprised they are calling that an own goal.

MacroGuru · 07-02-2010, 10:14 AM

I don't think it should have been ruled as on own goal though.

Agreed.

bhlloy · 07-02-2010, 10:16 AM

Yeah, that's a close one. Usually if the shot is on target it's not an own goal but a) that wasn't a shot by any means and b) Melo did get the touch that took it away from Cesar. I'd be fine with calling it either way.

whomario · 07-02-2010, 10:16 AM

Kaka plays like crap. Yeah, he has 2,3 good moments every game but on the whole he´s just off with everything be it shots or passes and also seems kind of slow and fatigued really (for his standards)

kingfc22 · 07-02-2010, 10:18 AM

Can we get more of that celebration please.

MacroGuru · 07-02-2010, 10:19 AM

And Bastos takes a seat to avoid a second yellow.

kingfc22 · 07-02-2010, 10:23 AM

Brazil keeps getting caught off guard with the Dutch quick free quicks. You would think they would have noticed by now 66 minutes into the game.

Crapshoot · 07-02-2010, 10:24 AM

HOLY SHIT 2-1!

Abe Sargent · 07-02-2010, 10:24 AM

kingfc22 · 07-02-2010, 10:24 AM

Sneijder now should have 2 goals by right.

illinifan999 · 07-02-2010, 10:25 AM

Sneijder's having a hell of a WC.

MJ4H · 07-02-2010, 10:25 AM

FUCK YES

cartman · 07-02-2010, 10:25 AM

WOW! Sneidjer with the goal off the corner!

tarcone · 07-02-2010, 10:25 AM

MacroGuru · 07-02-2010, 10:25 AM

GOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!! Hell of a play by the Oranje.

DaddyTorgo · 07-02-2010, 10:25 AM

great flick on by Kuyt at the near post too. underrated player.

DaddyTorgo · 07-02-2010, 10:26 AM

did mjib have a heart attack?

Coffee Warlord · 07-02-2010, 10:27 AM

DUTCHLANDAHS!

DaddyTorgo · 07-02-2010, 10:27 AM

if i'm the dutch i definitely want another though before i start to feel like i'm at all in the lead

Couldn't agree more...dude's a workhorse.

ISiddiqui · 07-02-2010, 10:28 AM

WOW! The Dutch are up 2-1! C'mon Netherlands!!

MacroGuru · 07-02-2010, 10:29 AM

A couple of things I like..

1) Dutch realized how the ref is calling the game and they are taking advantage of that...it's a chess match now, and the diving although I hate it, is being performed at the right time.

2) Brazil is keeping their feet and not diving, which is giving them some great moves and plays toward goal.

kingfc22 · 07-02-2010, 10:29 AM

That first goal stunned Brazil and they haven't recovered since.

Love it!

Karlifornia · 07-02-2010, 10:29 AM

Nice try, Kaka
