Marvellous scenes!!!

Cheerio Brazil

 

[SNOOBS]

Good game lads

Hahahahahaha

f***ing done it. Unbelievable. First tournament since my Gran snuffed it, she was Oranje's biggest fan, she'd have loved this. Watch out Brighty on Tuesday night...the Oranje are coming

 

[tonymgc]

Well done Holland

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Really thought they were in for a battering when they went one nil down. Full credit to them and the manager for sticking with it

God I hate Holland (except Sneijder )

 

[alan partridge]

God Brazil were dull, and god, Holland are bunch of sneaker fuckers. Diving all over the shop from the very start.

 

[Dandyman]

Oranjetastic !!

Absolutely delighted that the over-hyped diving, cynical, cheating 'Geniuses' are out. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Likewise, I can't really remember a more disappointing Brazil team...they don't normally behave anywhere like that badly, usually they blind us with dazzling skills and effortless football...it would have been a travesty if this side had won the trophy.

 

[brighton_girl87]

I am very happy about this. I backed Holland 12/1 in April to win the tournament so fingers crossed they keep going

 

[beardy gull]

Yippee! I have a tenner on the dutch!

 

[tangfastic]

orangetastic indeed! 'fraid i have to cheer on the germermans next -
got a tenner on holland/germany final at 50/1.

 

[JJ McClure]

Two things
A) Cant believe that the Dutch didn't score again near then end, did they want to walk it intothegoalor something.
B) Cant believe that Van Bommel got away from that game without being booked. he was fouling all over the place.

Holland will lose to Ghana/Uruguay if they get through.

Good run by Kaka, corner ball

Holland should beat Uruguay, but they may very well struggle against Ghana, whose coach I think is the best in the tournament.
