That’s not the vuvuzelas you hear…that deflating sound is the whoopie cushion going off now that Brazil is out after a fluke own goal and a brilliant double header. We used to practice that play in prep school! The stomp of the Dutch player goes a long way towards backing up the old m”myth” that South American teams are poor sports when they lose. Argentina is another grand example…buoyant and festive when they win…viciously unsportsmanlike when they lose. Watch for a bloodbath against Germany.
Can the Dutch finally close out a tournament? The biggest obstacle is out of the way…and they took them out! It’s now or never for the Dutch, they can silence all the naysayers with two more solid performances. Nevertheless, everyone else must be just as thrilled not to have to face the Selecao.
Meanwhile, enjoy the highlights.
