The Netherlands puts Brazil out of World Cup with 2-1 victoryFriday 02 July 2010 The Netherlands beat Brazil 2-1 on Friday afternoon to go into the World Cup semi-finals against Uruguay on Tuesday. Oranje was one goal down but an own goal inthe second half by Felipe Melo made it 1-1. A header by Wesley Sneijder gave Oranje the victory. After the match coach Bert van Marwijk said the team would be celebrating. '"Tonight it is party time, and tomorrow we will focus on the next match,' the Telegraaf quoted him as saying. According to Nos tv, as many as 61% of people who were supposed to work on Friday had asked for at least half a day off to watch the game.

By Wanderley palhares | July 2, 2010 9:34 PM Why didn't Oranje score from easy chances in the last 15 minutes. The chances seemed to easy to score from, yet, the Oranje didn't push for it. Obviously, they weren't protecting their lead, when they had an almost open Brazil goal in front. Were they respectful for Brazil ? By Anand | July 2, 2010 9:35 PM GO HOLLAND!!

There is something completely magical about the Dutch team.. have been suppoting them since the last world cup when dirty portugal made them exit .. but now .. DUTCH will THRRRASSHHH Uruguay ... and then Argentina .... 2 more ... just 2 more ...........YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS ............ Robben Robbeen Kuyt Scheinder goooooooooooooooooooooooooo.............. GO DUTCH GO - No Dirty Portugal to Stop you .. dont forget the lost battle the last time... Orange is the color of Insanity !!!!!!!! By Gautam Sood | July 3, 2010 5:57 AM wonderful roller-coaster of a game. . . and the Dutch were not playing that well. . . .imagine if Robben had been on top form and van Persie had got into the game as well . . . we don't need to fear anyone now. . . we can go all the way. . . from a brit living in Amsterdam and loving it all By tudor | July 3, 2010 8:06 AM Before this World Cup, I never had any interest in football. But now, after I moved to the Netherlands, I have been infected with the football bug, partly because the Dutch know how to party and support their team, and I have become a huge football - and Oranje - fan. Needless to say, I was ecstatic yesterday. Hup Holland Hup!!! By stingo | July 3, 2010 10:49 AM Netherlands are the best team of the moment. By Simplie | July 3, 2010 12:02 PM Watched the game dressed in nothing but ORANGE at a fan fest tent in the Cape Town Waterfront. With around 30 dutch fans and hundreds of Brazil supporters we had the last laugh and danced around with other dutch and afrikaans supporting the dutch! Afrikaans south africans have come out in orange all over the country and cape town has been nothing but orange when the dutch played Cameroon last week. It will be the same for the semi where the posters read - DIE KAAP IS WEER ORANJE!! By Juan | July 3, 2010 1:32 PM Well done Holland you deserve to win the cup after getting so close so many times and what a fantastic match it was and kudos to the dutch team for the message of anti racism before the match. By jason buttle | July 3, 2010 3:48 PM Thank you Germany! Bye Argentina! Regards from BRAZIL! By Happy Brazilian | July 3, 2010 4:37 PM It's sad to see that some Brazilians are such bad losers! [P.S. I'm Brazilian] And Holland's victory was so deserved as they didn't slow down like we did in the second half. That's the world cup. And if Brazil is the best team, as every brazilians have commented (aforementioned), why did it lose, then? I love Brazil's team and I'm always up for cheering it up at its matches, but we have to be realistic. Holland's victory was DESERVED. By Renan Kenplers | July 3, 2010 5:12 PM Don´t cry for me Argentina ... 4 x zeerooo By AD from Brazil and former happy expat in the ORANJE Country ! | July 3, 2010 6:43 PM I so hope ~nederlands vs gemany~ go nederlands!!!! you are loved By colleen | July 4, 2010 1:35 PM Holland played an exciting game against Brazil. I liked the never-say-die spirit every Dutch player showed. By Rick | July 4, 2010 2:46 PM Dear Dutch supporters, I'm writing from Brazil to express my happiness due to Netherlands's victory. We in general in Brazil think that Dutch people play the most beautiful football in Europe.
By renato de britto | July 4, 2010 11:07 PM Oranje must be careful in Germany players experience in finals, I want Oranje win Worlcup for first time.
