See the Netherlands, Brazil Beware 3 Brazil v Chile 0, Samba v Oranje in the quarter-finals

inevitable clash in the quarterfinal World Cup 2010. Besides Germany versus Argentina, Brazil have a big match against the Dutch. It happened along with the successful Brazilian Samba-nickname-whop Chile 3-0 in the last 16 of the Ellis Park Stadium, Johannesburg, yesterday morning.

In contrast to his appearance in three group stage matches, the action of the penggawa Brazil this time more captivating. Down with the 4-3-1-2 formation, Lucio et al compensate Chile game fast and attractive. It was not separated from the return of Kaka as the Brazilian midfield creator. Juan created goals (34), Fabiano (38), and Robinho (59) is also created from the game offensively.

Brazil''It's a very good performance,''Kaka said as quoted by the Associated Press. ''I am happy with the way we react to the ball. It shows that our performance did increase from game to game as we planned,''Real Madrid's players advanced.

''Yes, you could say this was our best performance throughout the tournament,''continued defender Maicon. ''We appear dominant on a team that has played exceptional in the group phase. Can play well when needed is very important in high-level adjacent tournaments like the World Cup,''said Inter Milan's defender.

According Maicon, good appearance it became equipped to serve the Netherlands. Oranje-called Dutch-style game that has almost the same as Chile. Namely, fast, aggressive, and rely on the midfield creativity.

Still, the Orange is not Chile. If the designation Chile La Roja-minus-play quarterback duo defender Marco Estrada and Waldo Ponce and Gary Medel, Holland confirmed to appear with full force. Moreover, the mercurial midfielder Arjen Robben has returned to strengthen the team after a three week absence due to injury.

Brazil's natural to be careful stronghold. Not impossible Dunga will again apply the pragmatic football as demonstrated when the last match against Portugal in the group G then (26 / 6).

Dutch''is not only very aggressive. They also supported a strong defense. Quarter-finals will be very tight. We must learn to anticipate their game,''said Maicon.

Unlike his subordinate, Dunga exactly confident. During active play, coach's 48 years have faced the Dutch in the 1998 World Cup semi-final. The result, Brazil win 4-2 on penalties.

Dutch''to maintain the tradition of lowering the young players of high quality. What is different now is the style of their game. Netherlands today are very similar to South American teams. They will not dwell on the back and rely on long balls. They must be tactful,''Dunga review.

Meanwhile, the Dutch stronghold in the beginning was anticipating a meeting with the five-time world champion. However, can not be denied again that the return of Robben to boost confidence Bert van Marwijk these forces. They were able to overcome Brazil Konfiden.

"We can not wait to see Brazil. Will we prove to the world that we can beat a team as strong as Brazil,''said Dirk Kuyt, Dutch winger was quoted as saying Liverpool Echo.

''I think we have a chance to beat every team in the world. We were always confident with the quality of this team. Our graph is always getting better from day to day. We've won every match in the tournament. Obviously, the quarter-finals, we can also grab,''convinced that Liverpool players.

Lindas England, Germany to the Quarter-Final

The suffering of the UK. Struggled to escape into a big round of 16, Steven Gerrard et al actually destroyed bitter rivals, Germany. Even more embarrassing, the Three Lions-called English-German bent landslide victory with the score 1-4 (1-2). UK who appear to attack from the start it had to left scored first through Lukas Podolski and Miroslav Klose, respectively in minute 20 and 32.

Striker young Thomas Muller added two goals past the German Panzer-nickname-the-minute 67 and 70. England scored just puppets donated by Matthew Upson in the 37th minute, taking advantage of Steven Gerrard's corner kick.

"The players played very well although some times make mistakes. But, the referee made a mistake that is far greater than the players, and I do not know anymore," so why Fabio Capello, the England coach, as quoted by the Telegraph. "Today we look okay, but there is always the little things that change the outcome. Always," she continued.

Capello is not an exaggeration when referee Jorge Larrionda leadership deplored the origin of Uruguay. Because, last night's game marked the incidence of adverse Three Lions. When the British left behind 1-2, Frank Lampard's release hard kick from outside the penalty box. The ball hit the crossbar, then bounced to the ground, before goalkeeper Manuel Neuer swept. Larrionda decided not occur goals and providing instruction that matches resumed.

The problem, in fact the ball had entered the goal when it hit land. In television replays clearly seen that the ball fell at the point which is about 30 cm from the goal line. Strong protest from Lampard was not ignored. England remained behind 1-2.

"If the second goal we had passed, we might be playing with different styles. Controversy was very influential to the team. I do not understand why soccer does not apply the use of technology that enables goal like that was observed, 'sighed Capello. "I regret the mistakes made by the children, but rather deplored the referee's decision," he continued.

In a way, the decision last night Larrionda is karma for the incident at the World Cup final 1966 edition, which also brings Germany and hosts England. In extra-time, referee Gottfried Dienst of Switzerland approved the original three goals Geoff Hurst scored England. England finally won the party with the score 4-2, and won the World Cup trophy for the first time.

However, the same controversial goal by Lampard's goal last night. The process was similar. Starting with a cross Allan Ball, Hurst grabbed the ball and fired shots at close range. The ball hit the pole, then bounced onto the ground before the German defenders driven.

However, referee true not sure whether the ball has passed the goal line. After consulting with the assistant, Tofik Bakhramov which came from the Soviet Union, he decided that the goals are legitimate. In fact, the television replays it was obvious that the ball just past the half the goal line. This means, yet fully entered the goal. In the Laws of the Game, released FIFA, the new goal is valid unless all parts of the ball over the goal line. So, actually when it scored Hurst invalid.

Of course this will again invite debate about the need for the use of technology by FIFA's goal line. During events, the European Club tournament last season, had occurred some controversy due to the limited view of the referee. However, several prominent proposals to promote the use of these technologies is always raw in the table Fifa president Sepp Blatter.

Finally, the proposal to revolutionize the use of technology in the field raised in meetings with the board shaper FIFA international football rules (IFAB) in Zurich, March 6 last. But, again, both the agency's proposal to freeze the technology, especially for the cameras at the goal line.

South Korea Uruguay Might Tested Uruguay v South Korea

Uruguay did not really count representing teams from group A. For, though never became champion in 1930 and 1950 World Cup, the squad upbringing Oscar Washington Tabarez was still lost prestige by France and Mexico.

But, Uruguay turned all predictions. During the preliminary round, La Celeste-nickname-Uruguayan national team has never touched a defeat. In fact, in three games in the provision, Uruguay had never conceded a goal!

Well, courage will be tested in Uruguay knockout phase. They will face South Korea's Asian representative (ROK) tonight (RCTI live broadcast at 21:00 GMT). Uruguay confident of being able to maintain the trend of the game. Because, in that game, Tabarez can lose all their best players.

"We will play attacking football. We want the game faster and smarter than before. We've got a squad that allows us to go more far in the World Cup," said Edinson Cavani, Uruguay striker.

Tabarez justify Edinson greeting. According to him, now is the best opportunity to excel Uruguay high performance in the World Cup.

"We have the materials that are not less good with the other big teams. Problem was mental and lack of experience," said Tabarez.

Kubu had been monitoring the South Korean game of Uruguay during the group stage. However, they can not make conclusions on the results of these observations. That's understandable. Because, Tabarez was not a fanatic at a scheme of the game only. He diligently to change tactics.

As against the French, Tabarez implement 3-5-2 scheme. When against South Africa, the former AC Milan coach is playing 4-3-1-2 pattern. Again Tabarez implement different schemes against Mexico. He applied 4-3-1-2 and 4-3-3.

"Yes, we witnessed a number of parties dilakoni Uruguay. They're stronger. Performance is also great at group stage. We've prepared very well. They have a sharp striker-striker," said Park Ji-sung, South Korean captain.

Carousel is also not satisfied if just to survive in the round of 16 large. They want to repeat success in 2002, when the team was nicknamed the Knights Taeguk successfully penetrate the semi-final phase.

"I know the players I'm not just satisfied with qualifying for the round of 16 large. We will work hard to advance to the semifinals. Now my players set a higher target," said Huh Jung-moo, coach of South Korea, as quoted by AP.

Rain, Requested Move Exercise

Kubu Uruguay and South Korea scheduled to practice at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium yesterday. However, heavy rain which flushed forced the two teams that move the location of the exercise. Field conditions at the Nelson Mandela Bay that have been used five matches damaged. Especially in the penalty area, lots of grass torn. Two teams were trained in the field of school finally Port Elizabeth.

Opponent Portugal, Brazil Trying to Keep Positive Trends Brazil v Portugal

Brazil will not sell just the game against Portugal in Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban,Despite having escaped to the round of 16 large, Brazil still has prestige. Portugal's victory will make Samba-Brazilian nickname achieve perfect in the group.

Moreover, Brazil wants to maintain the positive trend. Graph of their performance continues to climb. After winning 2-1 over North Korea thin, Brazil convincing 3-1 victory over Ivory Coast. Well, the victory over Portugal which is one of the axis of the European soccer power would mengatrol penggawa confidence of Samba.

"Until the second match against Côte d'Ivoire (21 / 6), there are still some errors that need to be addressed. Well, we needed this game for evaluation. That way, we can continue to improve strength throughout this tournament," said Lucio, the captain of Brazil, as Reuters quoted.

On the other hand, a draw will suffice to bring Portugal into the second half. Because, they have a fantastic productivity goals (7-0). So, as long as Ivory Coast won by a margin of no more than nine goals on North Korea, Portugal will be swayed.

"I think Brazil will not appear mediocre. Likewise, Portugal. Instead, we will feature an entertaining spectacle of the world. I believe that Brazil and Portugal would successfully bring more fans to watch football instead focus vuvuzela blowing," said Carlos Quieroz, coach Portugal, as cited by the Associated Press.

If both show an all-out, this would be a very interesting duel. Because, they are equally beautiful soccer-style entertaining. Portugal even got its nickname of Brazilian-style game of Europe because of similarities between them. Moreover, many Brazilian born player, who plays for Portugal.

In addition, there is a very strong rivalry between the former colonizer and colony area was. Finally, the Portuguese were slaughtered 2-6 by Brazil in the trial match in Brasilia two years ago.

"That was our biggest defeat, and now we have a chance to beat them in a more prestigious level. We want to pass to the big 16 with a victory over Brazil. It's just a regular game to be won," said Tiago, Portugal midfielder, told AFP.

Brazilian Kaka who got lost when the red card against Ivory Coast. Brazil coach Dunga not yet announced a replacement Kaka. However, he's probably going to change the scheme for adjusting the current state. One option is to lower the classic 4-4-2 formation with Julio Baptista and Gilberto Silva in the center midfield.

England vs Slovenia

- Who's winning in the group and the relatively light apparently does not warrant the UK to escape easily into the last 16 of World Cup 2010. Steven Gerrard et al might not even qualify. They will do or die game melakoni aka dead alive against Slovenia at the Nelson Mandela Bay, Port Elizabeth.

England shall reap the full points. In fact, they must win by a big score. The reason the United States of America (USA) who also have an opportunity to escape would be an all-out conquest of Algeria in other games dihelat together. The Three Lions-called English-can escape if the superior productivity of U.S. goals.

The problem is a big win over Slovenia's not an easy case. Acquisition of English is very poor goals. So far, they've packed a 1-1 draw thanks to goals with the U.S. in the first matchday. No wonder the UK is now beset internal frustration.

In a practice session last Monday (21 sixths), coach Fabio Capello is reportedly at odds with a number of players. Although it was disputed by other team members, can not be denied that the UK is now panicking.

"I think it was fair. The UK consists of a group of great players who want to win games and have not succeeded.'s A lie if I said that we were happy with this situation," said goalkeeper David James, as quoted by the Guardian.

"Indeed, we were hit by the crisis, but it's not something that should be mentioned," continued the 39-year-old goalkeeper is.

James may be confident. However, England was hit by problems off the field. The Three Lions lost central defender Ledley King is injured and Jamie Carragher are exposed to accumulated cards. Decision Capello fielded veteran defender Matthew Upson was at risk.

To enhance its bang on, Capello would put Joe Cole as a substitute for Emile Heskey who is less bite in the previous two games. "I hope that the player can free the mind from all load and play loose. If that could be done, we will demonstrate the power like England that I know," Capello said as quoted by the official FIFA website.

On the other hand, Slovenia load lighter. Robert Koren et al only need a draw to lock the ticket to the Big 16. If lost ones, they stay away, from the U.S. and Algeria to play a draw in another game. However, Slovenia still wary of England.

"I saw the game against England when the United States and Algeria. In my opinion, they have a number of positive and negative sides. So far, they have not shown real strength," said Koren as quoted by the Associated Press.

Slovenian Matjaz Kek architect insists his team will not play a mediocre just for chasing the draw. Instead, he wants his team's all-out to beat England. "This is do or die match for England. They can not imagine if you lose. We can take advantage of their fears," said Kek told the newspaper Ekipa.

"My team a lot of tidying up after a 2-2 draw with AS (18 / 6). We agreed not to repeat it. We will be very sorry if you failed to escape after a struggle in the group phase so far," said 48th-year coach. (Na/c8/ca)

Meanwhile, the defeat is forcing North Korea became the first Asian ambassador eliminated from World Cup 2010. Before beating Portugal, Korea narrowly defeated 1-2 by five-time world champion, Brazil. Not only that, defeat is too bitter for the people to treat North Korea. Therefore, the duel is the first time in history to broadcast live by television stations of the country.

Yes, North Korea's performance in the field of rain last night 180 degrees different when compared to the inaugural game. Ngeyel game and relentless as it was exhibited when the team wait on Brazil-Samba-called invisible yesterday. Their defense was so fragile.

Within 36 minutes, goalkeeper Khoillima epithet team's collapse six times. Or, if averaged, Ri Myong woof goalkeeper had to collect the ball from goalkeeper nets once every six minutes.

Germany to its knees in Serbia 0-1 U.S. v Slovenia Ended Series 2-2

One by one team reap shame in winning the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. After the Spanish surrender of Switzerland 0-1, 0-2 followed by France humiliated Mexico, and Uruguay got beat hosts South Africa 0-3, last night hrs (18 / 6) Germany's turn to his knees in Serbia, 0-1.

With Germany's defeat, the competition in group D is more strict. Therefore, three teams in Group D, namely Germany, Ghana, and Serbia, have the same collection of points, namely three-points. The difference, Germany and Serbia have played two matches, while Ghana will melakoni The second match against Australia tonight.

Which appear on the mighty German premiere game by beating Australia 4-0 game was actually better mastered, held in Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth, is. Only, the defense raised a Serbian Nemanja Vidic et al was so strong that it is difficult to penetrate.

Continued to press but always failed to make the striker scored the team Panzer (German nickname) becoming frustrated. The climax, in minute 36, Miroslav Klose make a fatal mistake. Bayern Munich striker is a violation of Serbia captain Dejan Stankovic hard.

As a result, Spanish referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco gave a second yellow card and Klose should exit the field. Lack of experienced German player can be utilized Serbia. Their turn to appear oppressive.

As a result, only two minutes later from the expulsion Klose, Serbia could break through the German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was escorted goalkeeper. Goals are scored winger Milan Jovanovic in the 38th minute after receiving a feed from striker Nicola Zigic.

Indeed, Germany has the opportunity to equalize the score through penalty spot on 60 minutes. It happened after Vidic holding the ball with your hands on the forbidden area. Unfortunately, the execution and Lukas Podolski able ditepis Serbia goalkeeper Vladimir Stojković.

Podolski failure to execute a penalty to make himself into a bad track record. Because, that's the first time the German player failed to execute a penalty on a regular matches since the World Cup in 1974.

Serbia, before the split of Yugoslavia, had fought with Germany six times and won only once in 1962. That means it's 38 years they never win over Germany.

''I feel like not a 45 second half minutes, but like two years. We beat the Germans after 38 years and it is definitely something very special for us,''said Milan Jovanovic, Serbia striker, as quoted by AP.

In the meantime, in another game, failed to note the history of Slovenia. After taking the first victory in a World Cup game against Algeria, Matjaz Kek's besutan team after qualifying for the final perdelapan. Unfortunately, that dream has not been achieved because of the game series last night they were detained by the United States (USA) 2-2.

Playing at Ellis Park, Johannesburg, had swelled so dream Slovenia 2-0 in the first half through Valter Birsa scored in the 13th minute and Zlatan Ljubijankiè goals in the 42nd minute. 2-0 score stood until halftime break.

However, in the second interval, the Yanks (the nickname the U.S.) to keep pace. New three-minute second-half run, Landon Donovan goal hacking into Slovenia. After that, Michael Bradley added goals in the 84th minute.

Then, kick Maurice Edu after receiving a feed from Donovan able to break through Slovenia goalkeeper Samir Handanovic escorted towards the fight ended. Unfortunately, the referee Koman Coulibaly menganulirnya because assessed violations.

Even so, the results of these series made permanent Slovenia memuncaki group C standings with a collection of four points, while the U.S. in second place with a pack of two points. England was in third place by one point, but the new melakoni second game against Algeria early this morning.

One Victory Again, German to the Big 16 Germany v Serbia

The young troops public address concerns Germany beat Australia 4-0 in the opening match and then the D group (14 / 6). Thanks to these results, one more victory will lead Germany into the round of 16 large.

If the Germans looked at that game armed with a landslide victory, Serbian vice versa. Dejan Stankovic et al bendable thin Ghana with the score 0-1. However, this does not necessarily make the Germans look trivial penggawa opponent.

"We managed to make ourselves respected at this stage," said German striker Miroslav Klose told the Associated Press. "The victory in the first match is very important, and it really lifted our motivation. But, we did not qualify for the second half. We must stay focused," explained the German goalscorer second to Australia's cage.

"Yes, this is Serbia's last chance to survive in the tournament. They must be highly motivated," said German coach Hans Flick. "Serbia is much better than Australia. They have many players in top European clubs. We must increase the level of games that we show against Australia," he added.

Seeing the excellent performance in the first game, the small possibility of German architect Joachim Loew change the composition of the players. Midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger who had missed practice because of flu will be played back. Mesut Ozil and Sami Khedira a very impressive show against Australia would be maintained. Similarly, formation of three strikers in front.

"For sure, we'll use that approach more carefully in the rear sector. We do not want to play aggressive style even opened a hole in the defense," said Flick. "Rows of Serbia is very strong middle. We must prepare a strategy to stem it," added assistant coach Jurgen Klinsmann of Germany since the era of these.

Meanwhile, Serbian coach Radomir antic must rack my brain to replace Aleksandar Lukovic is taxable when the red card against Ghana. Neven Subotic possibility is that the characters play the game similar to Lukovic. Antic was also considering to replace Nenad Milijas who last week appeared to be ineffective.

In order not to increase the burden of his men, 61-year coach decided not to install a specific target. Antic sent his troops to play loose. He hopes that with the mental condition of the lighter, Dejan Stankovic et al could reap better results.

"We will face a team that has so far demonstrated the most attractive games in the tournament. Cast-very good players, and we certainly will be difficult to penetrate their walls. We were not allowed to impose themselves," explained antic as released, Reuters reported.

"That Germany was the one who taught us to play loose and enjoy the game more. We're playing too tight and impetuosity as against Ghana. As a result, we fail. This time we will face Germany in a more relaxed mental state," he said. (Na/c10/ca)
