The oldest cliche in our sport ran true today...'a game of 2 halves'.
The Dutch woeful in the first and Brazil equally as woeful in the second.

After the initial alarm bells went off in the Dutch dressing room with Mathijsen having to opt out at the last second, in comes big veteran PSV defender Ooijer to replace him. Pairing up 'on the fly' with Heitinga is no easy feat, trust me. Johnny has been clueless looking since he left Ajax 3 years ago. Brazil dominate the first half with Robinho threading 5-15 yd one touch passes like he's havin' a laugh. Alves even looks comfortable, Bastos, Silva and Lucio make the game look easy. 1-0 at the interval, could have/should have...been 3.

Kaka, what the fuck has happened to you son?....one good shot and a decent pass in the first half was unacceptable, Jesus would be SO mad.

Arjen 'predictable' Robben was going down quicker than Lindsay Lohan with the promise of an 8ball. Van Bomber is a dirty, diving, disgrace to our game and along with Robben, should be banned for life, or sent to Broadway.

What a 2nd half the Flying Dutchmen had in store for us. De Jong continued his superlative understanding and awareness on a football pitch and if he can control that notion to fly off the handle, he will be a giant for this or any team. He misses the next game for the afore-mentioned problem. Ji Sung Kuyt is as industrious a footballer you will see on this planet, I dont know what he's trying to accomplish, Bert Van Marwijk doesnt know what he's trying to accomplish and Kuyt himself is absolutely bewildered. Magnificent effort throughout the match from him. RVP is brittle and selfish and not that good in BIG games, and oh, thats why he's at Arsenal.

Snejder is amazing, right foot, left foot, wherever it lands, he's as precise with both, as evident when he swung that left foot cross in and Melo, the Dud beat Cesar to it and knocked it in his own net. Wesley, the smallest guy in the box then pops up AND HEADS the winner.

Overall, a fairly entertaining game of football, we wont be talking about it years from now, unless your Dutch.
Thank fuck Brazil are out the way now, Argentina prepare for victory next Sunday.

Ghana anyone?....



Cheers,
