It 'was unforgettable, July 2 in the Netherlands. Not only because it was probably the hottest day this summer, but certainly the unimaginable event against Brazil. Before you can discuss tactics, he expressed the hope to be 11-11, but in the end, the Dutch have always thought it was a fluke in 1974 and never beat the Canarinho.

Other teams have more chances, as the Brazilians do not take it seriously, but his opponent seemed preferred Netherlands, which has to be taken. Like a cat and mouse, so long enough to make it attractive to live before you apply the fatal blow.
It seemed that it would be very different on Friday. It 'was first hit with injuries Joris Mathijsen few minutes before kick-off. Hamburg, has played almost 120 games in two seasons, in good shape. Mr. Reliable. Now it was the misfortune of having something in his knee during heating.
Team player, has decided not to start. Andre Ooijer change suddenly, just days before his 37th birthday without a club since his contract with PSV game last week, after giving the first half, especially in the banking sector. But to offer for the moment, the Netherlands, only a couple of alternatives to the defense.
Ooijer to pass the first time, the pace, with the rest of the team. It 'was all over Brazil, even though they have many opportunities. Robinho goal seemed to open a college tournament with defenders all over the place. An exhibition of old Samba followed by calcium, while the orange team went through the motions.
Maarten Stekelenburg saved a trip home soon, but the only one that responds to movement in Brazil and Palm Kaka excellent shot over the crossbar. Along with the concierge, but Dirk Kuyt was not ready to surrender, despite going into the dressing room only an own goal that lifted the spirits after the bad first half.
An example of the performance of the Netherlands during the first half came with routine Arjen Robben corner, where his teammates not to touch his response to the slippery ball, leaving Kaka, more to follow up on the sidelines and requests. The famous Big Three, with Rafael van der Vaart is still violated, fought all Brazilians. Robin Van Persie fired a free kick in the Z line, while Wesley Sneijder had disappeared completely.
show after the break the team, which relaxes the Brazilians, perhaps to save some energy for the next game waiting to play. Suddenly everything was one-way traffic. Van der Wiel Gergory picked up a stupid yellow card, which means it will miss the semifinal, but his career average in bold Brazilian Dutch Renaissance seemed to revolve. With the help of Julius Caesar, in a cross Sneijder broke and the head of Felipe Melo, "was not its goal" one of the best scorers in the Netherlands so far.
After Maicon had almost Carlos Alberto goal in the final of 1970 after the first time again, again Sneijder celebrations Diego Maradona goals adopted against Greece in 1994 (although to a lesser extent, drugs), with some ferocious face of the camera. Brilliant.
Robben came into the game and also a threat to Van Persie. Meanwhile the wind Kuyt in the fifth or sixth, but I was always more help from Mark van Bommel and Nigel de Jong, Kaka was able to maintain the nearly invisible in the bay.
Melo then gave a weak, probably to seal a new soil for the first time in his
mind. This time, however, found the striker Kuyt, whose film was the smallest in the field. The Brazilian defender could only look down Sneijder, the ball is from the desert, towards the corner brought the visitors to make 1.2.Before the game had a description of the Japanese referee Yuichi Nishimura had been interviewed on Dutch television, as speculation that is not equal. However, he did little wrong and a red card for punching Melo for Robben was the nail.
With ten to 11 hours the Dutch really have a chance, but he continued to fear for the inevitable disappointments. We passed through Brazil? Yes! However, the record has grown with the creation of Canarinho only a small chance, since it is completely open in the back. While there is some uncertainty in the Dutch defense, Brazil were not there to attack them. Netherlands in the final minutes took more chances in the tournament so far, but they are all wasted.
And then it was over! Within five minutes of horns in the streets with Vuvuzela around houses and the Dutch were wildly mixed, to celebrate a victory that was considered impossible. West Indian Girl from close behind me could not stop crying, while a car with the Moroccans, along with honking fast forward for a man to the ground with an orange wig.
It 'a feast for the nation today and tomorrow we'll do in the semifinals. And the Tour de France, of course, which starts in Rotterdam on Saturday. This weekend in the Netherlands, in the center of the sports world. For the first time in years that we can be proud and not ashamed.
