Two-One

Bloody hell.

Is the Dutch team out to kill off half the Netherlands through a heart attack? A lousy first half, the Brazilians scored, another huge chance was fortunately saved by the keeper, once again keeping Holland in the game, all Dutch attacks stranded in the Brazilian defensive wall, it looked hopeless. I thought we were out of the game.

But then the second half… We came back on the field with the same team and I knew that we were doomed. But then… A great equaliser, an equally great second goal, the Brazilians one man down and Oranje looked and played so much better. Credit where credit is due, Brazil kept threatening and there were times when it did look like they would equalise. Luckily, they didn’t and we’re through to the half finals…
