QF: Netherlands 2-1 Brazil, 2nd July 15:00 - ITV1

Dexter must be smiling from ear to ear

I thought Brazil played well in the first half with a great defence splitting pass by Melo.

I think since the Netherlands equaliser went in, they got better as the game went on and eventually got a second. Brazil, couldn't handle being behind, got frustrated and some players lost their heads.

Glad Kuyt played a part in the second goal and even had a nice run which could have been a goal!

Anyways, well done Netherlands. I would believe it's a deserved win.

Sublime win there by the Dutch. Would love to see them take out the cup.

Definitely one of the best matches of the tournament.
Dutch were simply superb in the second half.
Full credit to Robben. He was awesome.

Enjoyed the game, nice one the Netherlands, knocked me out of the sweep though, nevermind. Don't those Brazilians get rattled if things don't go their way?

Yeah, some seemed to lost their heads. Probably couldn't handle going behind. Let's see Diego's take on this

Saddest day of the year for me.

Brazil completely lost their head in the second half. Holland played better and deserved the win. Congratulations, Orange.

I hope that now players like Kleberson, Gilberto, Felipe Melo and Josué never get a chance with the Seleção again.

2014 will happen here in Brazil and I simply can't wait.

Definitely one of the best matches of the tournament.

As awesome as Robben can be. He's a diving tw*t. Rolling around acting like he just took a bullet all the time.

I'm sorry but Holland didn't play better. Yes, Brazil lost their head in the 2nd half after that equalizer, but still, Holland only created 3 chances the whole game. Two in set pieces (one of the them an own goal) and the other when it was already 2-1 and Brazil was all attack.

Felipe Melo should be beaten to death. It was so obvious that such thing could happen that Dunga cant say he wasnt warned. Every single people in the country were scared of the prospect of Felipe being sent off in an important match. That's exactly what happened. I just hope he dies. Slowly. Painfully. After a great first half and a brilliant pass in the 1st half, an own goal and a sending off. Pathetic.

It's the worst defeat ever in the history of the galaxy cause we were actually playing very well in the 1st half. I like this Brazilian team, much more than the team in 2006. We were full of big egos then but couldnt play as a team. We only reached the 2006 QF cause of our individual talents. This time, no. It wasnt the most talented Brazilian squad ever, but it's just stupid to think Brazil will always have the likes of Rivelino, Pele, Gerson and Tostão. We were paying good football as a team and scoring brilliant goals so far.

Then to lose a game we were winning, in 2 crappy goals like that, really really hurts. I would rather have lost to better Dutch teams in 94 or 98. It'll also be odd to see all the Brazilian haters so happy with the win of a Dutch team who dived, wasted time and used all of these tactics of the 'dirty' South Americans. 

Anyway, well done to Holland, maybe that could be their year, they're not playing entertaining football but they were efficient. I just don't buy that 'played better' sh*t, cause they didn't. They were lucky and Brazil were too temperamental. We showed much more football and could have scored more in the 1st half.

I'm crazy about World Cups and I'll certainly watch the remaining matches. But it feels so wrong with Brazil going out so early.

I'm part of a lucky generation used to much more. The first WC I ever watched was 1994, I was only 6 or 7 back then, and we were the champions. Even so young, I remember every single game so clearly. Then 1998. A terrible defeat in the final but some amazing games on the way. 2002, another final, another trophy.

Going out in the QF twice in a row feels like the end of the world. Honestly.

Gutted, shattered!! My team out    

Definitely one of the best matches of the tournament.

Not seen the game, but it would not be too hard to be the best game so far, as most have been dire.

Congrats Dexter , must be flyin high right now.

Sorry for Diego, look forward to 2014 in Brazil. Cant lose on home soil right?

As awesome as Robben can be. He's a diving tw*t. Rolling around acting like he just took a bullet all the time.

Hardly dived today. Brazil were playing rough against him, no doubt.

Not been the best World Cup, but certainly has had some good matches.

Hardly dived today. Brazil were playing rough against him, no doubt.

No? Not when Bastos slid in, completely missed him then they ask for his second yellow? No, not when he goes down on the corner flag when no one touched him?

I can remember numerous times he went down without ever being touched, and then continued to roll around like a c**t.

That's Robbens game. He's good at it, but I don't respect it.

Kuyt had a decent game, agree with you Diego F**k me Melo is a complete liability that is possibilty the most brain dead thing I've seen in the World Cup. His appalling diciplinary record should mean he never is trusted for his country again.

That's Robbens game. He's good at it, but I don't respect it.

As does Dani Alves if you have seen him playing with Barçelona or Lucio if you have seen him play several times.
They do it all the time including the Brazillian players, sorry to say it.

Didn't see that coming!

Bet Dexter is chuffed the bits. I lost a lot of dough over the result but well done to the boys in orange. Could very well win this now.

We all know why they got knocked out. They didn't pick Lucas.

Well to be fair, he wouldn't of gone and stamped on Robben!!!

But then again, he also wouldn't of played the pass that led to Brazil scoring their goal!!

Completely forgot about this.
Got home and my dad told me about it as I was at work, I thought he was lying.

Shocked, seen the highlights on BBC.

I'm very happy! I'll start with that. I'm also completely wasted I've had one of the best nights of my life. Ok, so on to the game, my thoughts.

First half, from our side, completely shiiiite. I crapped my pants when I found out Ooijer started for us. But Brazil completely dominated us the first half. Class goal, but at the same time big mistake by Heitinga. I thought we were done to be honest.

2nd half, lucky goal by Sneijder, but quite a mistake by both Melo And Cesar. After that, Brazil seemed to have lost the plot. I thought we were stronger the 2nd half, Brazil just seemed to be panicking, especially after Melo's red card. That was just stupid of him really. Then our 2nd goal, Sneijder's first EVER header. After that the last 20 minutes took way too long for me! Felt so good winning though, especially after '94 and '98. F***ing great!

I've partied with complete strangers tonight, and I loved it! My country went aboslutely crazy tonight! This really will be remembered as an amaing night for my country, on to Uruguay tuesday!

What a result for Holland, was at work when someone said Brazil were 2-1 down with a player off and I was like WTF! I at least expected extra time!
