Soccer Updates like everyone else thought that Brazil would just brush Holland aside and go all the way to the World Cup Final. It certainly looked that way when Robinho slipped the ball in the net in the 10th minute to put Brazil 1-0 up and looking good for a semi-final place.

Holland however had no intention of giving up and a Brazil error by the goalkeeper from a Sneijder cross saw Melo head it into his own goal in the 58th minute to make it 1-1. Soccer updates were shocked but the Dutch got confidence from this and a lovely cross saw Kuyt flick it back with his head for Sneijder to head Holland 2-1 up in the 68th minute.

Brazil pushed forward but got Melo sent off in the 73rd minute for a nasty bit of stamping. Brazil I am afraid to say can be a bit rough when things aren’t going there way and the match ended with Holland winning 2-1 and waiting on the winner of Uruguay and Ghana in the semi-final, yet again we are seeing a World Cup full of surprises, who will win this World Cup, don’t forget we at soccer updates said Argentina from day one, we think that is looking a good shout !!
