Dutch win, Brazil breeze through
The first match today was The Netherlands v. Slovakia. Naturally, I root for the Dutch. Robben scored for Holland in the minute. The rest of the first half was relatively uneventful. In the second half, it was mostly a boring match until the minute, when Sneijder put the ball in. The Dutch were up 2-0 at that point. At, literally, the last second, Slovakia got a penalty kick. Vittek converted the goal at which point the ref blew the final whistle. Vittek has now scored more international goals than anyone else in Sloveakia. Final score The Netherlands 2-1 Slovakia. I’m glad the Dutch won, but, wow, that was a boring match.
Here is a picture of The Netherlands’ “sexiest” fan:
In the second match of the day, Brazil took on Chile. It proved to be one of the better matches of the World Cup so far. Brazil won 3-0, sending Chile home. Brazil will next face The Netherlands, which should prove to be another exciting game.
