World Cup Quarter finals, day 1

Well, it has been a very long time since holland have felt world cup glory, they had to get there by defeating Brazil, it wasn't something easy to do, but the oranje army did the impossible and surprized Brazil by beating them 2-1. It was a very exciting match for both teams with Brazil taking the lead through a nicely placed pass by Melo which was perfectly picked up by Robinho and was very easily placed through steklenburg, but the dutch never gave up, although Brazil went into the locker room with a 1-0 lead. The flying dutchmen struck back when Robben was fouled . The free kick was taken when the samba players least expected it, robben went in on the right and passed it to Snjieder who joined him on the right hand side, he then diverted a meant to be cross onto the head of Melo, that was a moment of revival for the dutch and then snjieder stuck again when he headed it in past julio ceaser and took netherlands into the lead, towards the final minutes, substitute Klas Jaan Huntelaar broke free and just had to simply pass it to either robben or kuyt who were both onside, that would've finished the game off but he took his time and ruined the last chance of the match except when Dani Alves stuck his free kick straight into the wall, the final score was 2-1 and the dutch go on to the semi finals to face Uraguay who defeated Ghana in a game which seemed to be going the africans way, Suli Muntari took the lead from a well struck left footed goal from 38 yards, but only to have forlan take it back via a very well placed free kick, the game stayed 1-1 until the 130th minute where the africans had their chance to win the game when they were given a penalty after Suarez saved the ball of the line clearly using both hands, but the black stars were denied world cup glory and the game went to penalties, Mensah missed his poorly struck penalty just to have Ghana's next one missed as well, it was all down to the left footed Uraguain calmly netted the ball to set up the first semi final, Netherlands vs Uraguay. See you tomorrow for what seems to be a very exciting match between Germany and Argentina and Spain vs Paraguay, I'll be here tomorrow to update you on all those matches, but for now, this is Mohammed Mashnouk saying Good night...
