Poor first half from Holland and dreadful defending for that Brazilian goal, but then with that second half, you can't even say the victory wasn't deserved in the end. Even if they needed some luck to get there.
Seems Holland now has a shot at getting to the final for the third time, though if they want to win it for once, they'll have to play like this all game long - and they'll have to make sure not to get too cocky in the semis first. Still, to some extent you have to say they've taken over Brazil's place in the shortlist of favourites to win it all... I'm gonna have to root for a Spain-Netherlands final so we can get a guarantee of an eighth country joining the list of world champions.

The Dutch do have a great chance of going through to the final and although you don't want to take anything for granted I would be quite disappointed if they didn't manage to beat either Uruguay or Ghana. And frankly considering the qualities of the defences left in the competition they could easily do it this time.

I'm surprised so many people seem shocked by this, or didn't expect it.
