Runner Up Game at 4:00 PM on ESPN.
Brazil vs Netherlands.
Brazil needs to redeem itself from humiliation at the hands of Germany in Tuesday's semi-final.
100%
Good lord.
Brazil is going to abolish soccer and just have have NFL expansion teams after this.
Nice goal by the Blind guy ....
Halftime - Netherlands leads 2-0.
.... or the Agony of de Feet (again) ;?
They must be down to their fifth-stringers by now.
OH! I’M SO HURT! (Cannot go on with such tripping, Coach. Take me out.)
‘Looks like even the Ref is getting tired of the diving, issuing a Yellow card to Brazil… although maybe it wasn’t really merited in this case. It is getting tiring seeing all the begging for penalties.
Brazil should have been playing a man down since the second minute. How Silva’s back-collar-pull-down of Robben earned a yellow card and not a red, I have no idea.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL!!!!
Netherland scores in the 91st minute!
3-0.
Netherlands defeats Brazil 3-0 and Brazil’s losing streak has been extended.
Congrats, Netherlands! What a superb game and an exciting end to a memorable World Cup tournament.
the brazilian finger pointing will commence the second the tears stop... or maybe they have already started
To paraphrase the CBC announcer, Netherlands defeat Brazil 3-0 for the right NOT to be called a double-Lewser ....
Brazil played a better defensive game than on Tuesday night but it was simply no match for the aggressive Dutch football machine which made short work of a demoralized Brazil.
Well they can cross their fingers and pray Argentina cries uncle in front of Germany tomorrow.
LOL...
Some of the German players may actually be uncles of the Argentines (i.e. once-”removed” ;)
So Brazil scores only one goal in the last 2 games? Where’s Pele when they really need him?
heh heh heh...
Given all that the current government has invested in having this and the 2016 Olympics (Rio de Janeiro), I think that there might be trouble brewing. In spite of all the hype about the BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India and China) as investment worthy countries, there is a lot of unrest and class warfare going on in Brazil. While the current Brazilian President, Dilma Rousseff, has tended towards a crony-capitalism policy, a significant move from her youthful Marxist views, her inter-America friendships are strongly on the left.
Now, without the semi-religious joy of a winning Brazilian Team, and with a disappointing tourism bump, the worry is that the turkey’s might come home to roost. A single goal in the last two games with the opponents scoring 10 will leave a sour taste that not even all of Brazil’s sugar cane can wipe out.
