    Both sides carried on absolutely disgracefully. Tainted the entire game for me. Disgusting displays of diving, whining, complaining, tempers flaring, lack of maturity, composure... I could go on.

    Just an appalling display that disrespects soccer, despite the skill shown in the technical part.

    I wanted to be excited for the Dutch or Brasil and ended up wishing both had gone home.

    I know no one will believe me now, but I thought Brazil was the most overrated team going into this tournament.

    Then they started winning games and I went along with all the Brazil lock for finals talk.

    But let's look at the facts, their players (starting 11) were never really superior to most teams in this tournament. I can name 6 other teams that had a starting 11 playing at the same or higher level on more prolific teams throughout Europe.

    Even if Brazil pulled this one out today, they weren't beating Spain, Germany or Argentina

    An Englishman peacocking for the Dutch footballers.

    Now I've seen everything.

    - david villa should not even be in the tournament anymore after the punch he threw in the group phase

    - just won 100 bucks today by picking the right score BRASIL 1 HOLLAND 2 HAHAHA

    this brazil team never impressed me much during this whole tournament and they finally played against a team that can play

    germany by far plays the most attractive soccer in this tournament, if this will be enough to win it all remains to be seen, but i put the score at 2:1 germany for tomorrows game

    It definitely gets annoying. I find that the women's teams do far less of the acting/complaining. USA-Brazil women never disappoint, they play some great games against each other, the 2004 Olympics gold medal match is probably my favorite soccer game, followed closely by that 99 wwc final. The men's games in 2002 vs Mexico and 09 vs Spain are up there too. The men's team just can't string together a bunch of wins in a row though.

    I hope the USA Men's team can finally catch up though and do some damage in 2014, 3rd or 4th place would be nice.

    Melo always commits fouls like that. It gets him in trouble and you have to hate him when you're playing against him but if he's on your side, you have to love that IMO. He's the Rodney Harrison of soccer. He racks up yellow cards like crazy, even in his club team. When Arsene Wenger was pursuing him last summer, one fo the worries many Arsenal fans had was if we were to get Melo, how often would he be available to us? He racks up cards and eventually, he'll do the same with suspensions. However, it's something I think I would want in my midfield. I want that physicality and I think its something teams lack/miss, notably my favorite team Arsenal.

    Forlan is my hero!! lol

    -edit: ghana seems faster, stronger, more fit. uruguay has more technical skill though. i hope the uruguayan defense steps it up, they lost important players back there..the captain and i think a midfielder

    GYAN CHOKED.

    2nd Biggest choke job in the history of the World Cup.

    A PK to move onto the Semi's? Choke.

    Sorry Baggio...you are still at the top spot.

    WOW Ghana better win, that would have been a goal if he didn't smack it with his hand.

    Either way Netherlands faces Uruguay who will now be missing one of their best players or Ghana who may be running out of steam by then.

    I think anyone take one of their best players missing next match if it meant they went through, which is what happened. Unreal finish, how did that happen though lol
