What a match it was. The best match so far in the tournament. The Netherlands could have finished off Brazil in the end by 4-1 or 5-1 if they take took their chances.
In the first half I didn't understand what the Netherlands were doing. They weren't really putting any pressure of the defense of Brazil. But all that changed after the 1-1.
The annoying thing was that all the Brazilian players targeted Robben and there were a lot of fouls on him.
Funny thing was that Sneijder scored a goal with his head.
The Brazilian players were pretty supportive after the end of the match. They said that the Netherlands deserved to win this match.

World Cup 2010: Brazil sack coach Dunga
Dunga has been sacked as Brazil coach following his country's quarter-final exit from the World Cup.
A statement from the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) confirmed the former captain has been dismissed, along with his entire coaching staff.
Dunga, 46, who returned with his squad to Brazil on Sunday, had already said he was likely to go after the 2-1 defeat by the Netherlands on Friday.
The CBF revealed that a new coach would be installed by the end of the month.
Dunga had hinted that there was a chance of him returning as coach, telling a news conference: "I am going to rest before meeting, in one or two weeks' time, the president of the CBF, Ricardo Teixeira to talk about it (extending his stay in charge)."
However, the CBF quickly ended any hope of another contract.
The first big challenge for the new coach will be the 2011 South American championship - the Copa America - due to be held in Argentina.
However, the 2014 World Cup will dominate the agenda, particularly as the tournament will be held in Brazil for the first time since 1950.
