World cup becomes that much less important for many many fans as Brazil is beaten by Netherlands 2-1.
After a super quick pass in the 10th minute that Robinho converted, Brazil was coasting nicely during half time. Kaka was getting his foot on the ball and had some nice shots on the goal.
The game after half time was a completely different story, a self goal and later another header from Sneijder put Brazil behind.
But what kept them behind was some very physical play by the Netherlands and convenient Referreeing. Referee "Yuichi NISHIMURA" of Japan was consistently partial towards Netherlands players. Of course Brazil's Melos "earned" the Red card, but by the same token, Netherlands should have gotten atleast 5 more cards. In many instances, Brazil players had to play the ball and pull one or sometimes two opponents. Kaka was marked, and repeatedly fouled against and many Netherland players -mainly Persie, Robben adn Sneijder can easily earn some Oscars for very good acting.
Fifa should start making the games stricter in order to preserve the beauty of the game that is getting tarnished by physical attacks and Fake moves.
Brazil lost, but not purely to better football.
