Went, guess what? Netherlands got their equalizer with a Felipe Melo own goal. He heads the ball in the net from a Wesley Sneijder cross. Julio Cesar tried to save it but he couldnt and the ball goes in from Melo's head. Its Brazil 1-1 Netherlands now.

Edit: Oh my god, its Brazil 1-2 Netherlands! Sneijder takes advantage of sloppy Brazillian defending and Holland lead!

Brazil, equalise, please...

Edit2: Things worse for Brazil, they're 10 men with Melo sent off. First Melo headed in an own goal, then got sent off. Great perfomance, Melo.

Netherlands win 2-1! Every Dutch is mad on the pitch. Brazil knocked out in the quarters - yet again. The Brazillians are pretty disappointed and Oranje are jubilant.

Brazil were much better in the first half but after Melo's own goal, they played inferior to the Dutch.

WOOHOOOO!!!! IM SO HAPPY HOLLAND WON!!!! THATS A SLAP IN THE FACE TO THOSE EFFING BRAZILIAN PLAYERS YESSSSS

Now I'm sure Holland will make it to the finals. The only problem I see is that so many players got a yellow card that the good players won't make it xD

Well, I can just say: Sneijder and Robber turned the match upside-down. Seeing Brazil die slowly in utter desperation was way more exciting than I expected XD

Dunga must be happy, he killed the beautiful Brazilian style to ensure a victory and ended up losing way earlier than expected. Serves him well.

Since 2008, I wanted a Brazil - Spain in the World Cup final. But, a couple of weeks ago, I started favouring Holland instead. Hopefully they'll be there. And, if we lose before that day, they'll win it instead.

YAY! Uruguay qualify for the semis. Now, we just have to upset Netherlands to reach the final after a... loooooooooong time.

I feel bad for Gyan and Ghana, sadly they couldnt be the first african team in the semis, but whatever, Uruguay qualified in the end :D

Suarez was sent off late in the game. Does that mean he'll miss the semis?

Nuke, a Uruguay-Paraguay final would be the battle of the Guay's ;D

They're won't be a war, but their might be a riot. I forget which one it was, but there was a huge riot in South America a while ago over a match.... Uruguay vs. Paraguay, eh? Not happening...

I've been right so far about the Quarters....Hopefully Germany beats Argentina and Spain beats Paraguay.

I was soooooo ecstatic today about the Dutch winning..I'm sure you all know by know, they're my favorite team..by far.

And yes, Suarez will miss the Semis, which will be a huge advantage for the Dutch even though they're better than Uruguay by far..

I think the finals will be Netherlands and Spain but if it is Netherlands and Germany, that'll be incredible. The Holland-Germany rivalry is just as strong as the Brazil-Argentina rivalry...

I mean they'd suffer but the roster is pretty deep...He's never been red carded in an international.

I'm surprised he's been the one scoring most of the goals. In qualifying, Robben and Van Persie contributed much more than he did...

But if Robben had been there from the start, I think he might've been the one who's scored more goals.

Predictions:
Uruguay vs. Ghana
Netherlands vs. Brazil

Germany vs. Argentina
Paraguay vs. Spain

Yeah, I really think that Paraguay will beat Spain.
Both my predictions have gone wrong till now. I delibrately predicted against the team I was supporting so I don't jinx them. Now I'm hoping that Germany beat Argentina and I don't care about the Paraguay vs Spain.

I don't really care about PAR vs. ESP either....I predicted a Spain win, but I hope Paraguay upsets them because I really don't want to see Spain in the final...

They'd be the Dutch's biggest challenge. Spain's defense awesome. And I'm not using that world lightly, it really is world class.

Villa would be able to exploit the Dutch's "decent" defense.

If Uruguay beat the Netherlands, I honestly think they would get owned in the final by any of the remaining teams left, except for Paraguay.

If they beat the Netherlands, that'll be a shocker. The Netherlands are ranked 3rd in the world, Spain is 2nd. (ELO rankings) You're saying that they could beat all the other highly ranked teams but Spain would be an exception?

Of course, any team can be beaten but still..Upsets happen...

But to say they would beat the other teams the same way they beat the Netherlands? That's utterly ridiculous...

So they could beat Netherlands, but couldn't beat Spain which is really close to the Dutch in terms of rankings and ranking points?

The teams left are pretty different...

Beating the Netherlands doesn't mean that they could beat any team remaining. Each match will be different...I mean do you seriously think people thought Switzerland would win the world cup after upsetting Spain, or even get very far? They surely couldn't beat Chile the way they beat Spain.

I'm not trying to start and argument or anything but man....
