This is a very sad household today.

Brasil lost to the Netherlands 2-1.

Both my wife and I are very sad after Brasil fell apart in the second half. This is the first time Brasil failed to win after leading at half time in a World Cup match.

Robinho nailed the winner in the 10th minute to give us a 1-0 lead.

A great pass set this up from Felipe Melo.

Then all hell broke loose.

Brasil fell apart.

Felipe Melo and keeper Julio Cesar had a little mix up. Melo stepped in front of Cesar. The ball bounces off of Melo’s head into the back of the net. It’s tied one all in the 53rd minute.

This was the match changer.

The Dutch turned up the heat..

Wesley Sneijder nailed a great header in the 68th minute to send all of Brasil on suicide watch.

Melo freaked and decided to stomp on Netherlands Arlen Robben’s ankle.

This was dumb. It was beyond dumb. It was stupid.

He gets 86th in the 73rd minute.

Dutch coach was down right pissed by the Melo’s dirty play. Brasil should ashamed of the way they acted. Apesar de toda a alegria pela classificação às semifinais da Copa do Mundo, o técnico holandês Bert van Marwijk teve motivos para se irritar após a vitória sobre o Brasil, nesta sexta-feira, por 2 a 1, em Porto Elizabeth. O treinador criticou o volante Felipe Melo, que foi expulso de forma direta ao pisar no atacante Arjen Robben.

Acabei de ver a falta cometida contra o Robben. Ele (Felipe Melo) deveria olhar de novo a imagem e sentir vergonha da falta cometida. Se pensarmos friamente, deveria estar envergonhado pelo futebol brasileiro – disse, contrariando com a declaração do volante brasileiro. Felipe Melo afirmou após o jogo não ter visto maldade no lance. O volante brasileiro achou o cartão vermelho injusto.

Kiss the ball game bye-bye.

Cooler heads should have prevailed but this is the South American way. Fall behind. Lose your cool.

Voce vai.

The entire nation wants to fix the blame on Dunga.

Yes, he is the coach but this team played better than the 2006 fat out of shape stars.

You can say what you want but it is easy to win as a front-runner but the real test is when a team falls behind and has to crawl back and win.

This takes heart.

Maybe Brasil doesn’t have the heart to do this.

This loss shocked the entire Brasileiro nation.

Julio Cesar spoke about the loss. He was very sad.

É um resultado que ninguém esperava. Sempre citamos que o grupo estava bastante confiante naquilo que vinha fazendo ao longo de três anos e meio, unido. Mas o futebol tem dessas coisas, o mundo não acaba (pausa). Acho que no futebol são 11 contra 11, e no segundo tempo eles mereceram o resultado –-disse, em entrevista à TV Globo.

 Netherlands showed heart by hanging in there until Brasil made a mistake. The Dutch came back and won. This takes a ton of heart.

UOL wrote that Brasil failed in its first real test in the World Cup. Brasileiros looked good against inferior teams but when they came up against a top team they failed.

Com o setor de criação dependente da recuperação de Kaká, a seleção brasileira tinha entre seus apostadores mais crentes a convicção de que a capacidade da defesa levaria a equipe até o fim na Copa. No entanto, a linha de trás mais badalada do Mundial fracassou em seu primeiro teste real no torneio, na derrota para a Holanda por 2 a 1, com erros incomuns na trajetória até a África do Sul.

Depois de testes menos exigentes nos quatro jogos anteriores da Copa, a seleção mostrou contra a Holanda vulnerabilidades que não se esperava de uma equipe que transmitia tanta solidez ao se defender. Falhas na bola aérea, equívocos de posicionamento, erros individuais em saída de bola e descontrole emocional pontuaram o revés em Port Elizabeth.

Uruguay showed lots of heart by falling behind 1-0 to Ghana.

There was no quit in this dog.

Forlan nailed a perfect free kick from 25 yards out in the 55th minute to tie this sucker up at one all.

Then Luis Suarez swept away a shot on goal in the 120th minute.

Suarez was given the heave-hoe.

Gyan did a choke city. Gyan hit the cross bar. Ker plunk baby. Choke collar time.

Uruguay went on to win in a PK shoot out 4-2.

Next up for Uruguay is the Netherlands in the semi-finals.

We have the final tune up before the 2010 World Cup kicks off in June in South Africa. Brasil battles Ireland at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday March 2nd.

This will be Dunga’s last chance to tweak the line up and see which players will make the final World Cup squad.

Sure, bets are Robinho, Kaka, Cesar, Luis Fabiano, Maicon, Lucio, Daniel Alves, and Felipe Melo.

This is just a partial list.

Adriano will be teamed with Robinho up front. I sure hope this works out. Adriano is still very iffy.

This is my take on the situation.

Please Dunga whatever you do not and I repeat do not include the head case Ronaldinho and the fat old man Ronaldo on the squad.

Please for this will surely ruin the team chemistry.

In plain and simple English, this will kill the team.

Globo Esporte had this to say http://globoesporte.globo.com/ Adriano deve ser o substituto de Luis Fabiano no ataque da seleção brasileira para o amistoso contra a Irlanda. O atacante do Flamengo participou entre os titulares da movimentação tática comandada pelo técnico Dunga nesta segunda-feira, no Emirates Stadium, em Londres, na Inglaterra. O “Fabuloso” foi cortado por causa de uma lesão muscular no peito.
A outra novidade foi a escalação de Ramires no meio-campo. Os titulares treinaram com Julio César: Maicon, Lucio, Juan e Michel Bastos; Gilberto Silva, Felipe Melo, Ramires e Kaká; Robinho e Adriano. A partida é a última antes da convocação final para a Copa do Mundo da África do Sul.  

Brasilian superstar Kaka is worried that the guys may wind up getting hurt. UOL reported www.uol.com.br O temor a respeito de lesão foi levantado nesta segunda-feira por Kaká, um dia antes do amistoso da seleção brasileira contra a Irlanda em Londres (o jogo acontece nesta terça, às 17h05, de Brasília, com acompanhamento do Placar UOL Esporte).

“A gente vive a expectativa antes de cada convocação. Mas é um passo de cada vez. São dois meses até a próxima convocação, muita coisa pode acontecer. Não dá para entrar em campo pensando em não se machucar, mas o jeito é orar e esperar para que nada aconteça, porque jogamos no limite todo final de semana”, disse Kaká antes do treino da seleção desta tarde no Emirates Stadium, em Londres.

These fears are real. All one has to do is look at what happened to Arsenal’s RVP in a friendly World Cup match.

Lets hope Kaka and the guys come home unscathed.

We need to be at full strength to win this sucker.

I said we for I am an America with a Brasileiro heart.

My wife is Brasilian. Besides that, I love Brasil futebol.

I am a Flamenguista through and through. My family is Flamenguistas too.   

This is my passion.

On Wednesday, there will be a full tilt of World Cup friendly match ups.
