Day 17

54. Netherlands vs. Slovakia- 2-1 Netherlands

This game wasn't as close as the score says, the last minute penalty by Slovakia made it respectable. The game and all of the games so far haven't gone as many have expected for the Netherlands. Many expect the Netherlands to blow everyone away with their flashy play, but they have been more economical this World Cup. They have the flashes of attacking prowess, but not as they have in the past. Now that they have won each game and advanced they will meet their first big test of the tournament.

55. Brazil vs. Chile- 3-0 Brazil

I missed this game, so I won't talk too much about it other than Chile's offensive attack wouldn't do without defending. Which they didn't do much of. Brazil will now move on to face the Netherlands, the most interesting game so far. It will pit two of the top teams in the tournament against each other and give the winner a clearer patch to the final. Should be a good one, and 6 for 6 so far.
