Quarter Finals
Today:
Morning
Netherlands [Oranje] 2-1 Brazil [Canarinho]
Twee – Um is unexpected. The “Little Canaries” had been expected to win the Cup, and most expected the semi-finals to look like a replay of the Copa América, with Brazil and Argentina in the finals. The “Orange” pulled it out in the second half. [Note: with the help of Brazil’s Melo own goal, which tied the match.]
Afternoon
Uruguay [La Celeste] 1-1 Ghana [Black Stars]
The “Sky-blue” win on penalties, 4-2, knocking the Black Stars and Africa out of contention.
