1-0 brazil after a long pass splits the dutch defense, robinho hits it first time past the keeper. should open up the match some.

Pretty good game so far. If Robben would quit cutting everything back on his left foot, he would have acres of space. The Brazilian defenders are just playing right off his left foot and taking the ball whenever he cuts if back. He could have easily had a break away on his right foot right before half time.

maybe I was imagining it but it sounded like there is a guy on the Dutch team named Mike Hunt, of course the accent of the announcer is pretty thick so it could be something completely different.</p>

What was Brazil's goalkeeper thinking? I don't even think the Netherlands player was trying to shoot. I think he just sent in a high ball in the box to try to get an assist and he wound up with a goal. Horrible mistake by the Brazil keeper. 1-1 now.

that's what he does every single time. i'm surprised nobody else defends him that way.

and ... GOAL! keeper comes out, runs into his defender, ball in the back of the net. just heard it was officially listed as an "own goal".

been pretty entertaining so far.

goal! beautiful set piece, headed on by kuyt (i think) and then into the top corner by wesley sneijder. could have been marked a bit tighter but nothing cheap about that one.

should be a great last 20 minutes as brazil throws everything forward.

from rem101: "Felipe Melo might want to wait a few years to go home."

He scored the own goal and then got the red card. He's soooooo screwed.

I like the fact that the Dutch didn't go into a defensive shell with a late lead and kept playing their game and trying to score. Of course, it's a lot easier to do that when you're playing 11 v 10.
