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.

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.
