Brazil : Netherlands : 1:2

As much as I am happy for the Oranjies (and I am very happy for them and for my sweepstakes perspectives - and this was my "most torn" match of the championship as I like both teams), i am very very sad for Brazil. What has happened? After the first half, they were practically winning the match, having it all on a platter with a blue ribbon on top and then - BAM! Everything fell to pieces, even the first Netherlands goal happened because of a big mistake of a Brazilian defender. The red card for Melo was also as embarrassing as it was deserved (don't kick a man when he is down!).

** sigh ** I am so so sorry, sodahands and seven_trees


PS: Ghana? Please? Win? Make me happy????

Edit: no such luck for Ghana Am very sad. I haven't had anything against Uruguay so far but I am about to start being spiteful and wish for them to be beaten in a horrible fashion in semis (by Netherlands) for the destroying the hopes of the only African country left. Also had a better look - no, Forlan is totally not my personal cup of tea, too blond and curly.
