Brazil beat Chile 3-0 while Holland beat Slovakia 2-1 in the earlier match. Both teams will meet each other in the quarter final stage of this year FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa. This should be an intriguing match and will surely attract plenty of attention as both football super power nation face each other. Brazil has won 5 world titles under their belt while Holland has yet to win any. However, Holland can not be under estimated as they have a long tradition of playing exceptionally good football and are capable of beating any team in the world. Their "Total" football philosophy is scintillating and attractive. Brazil is famous for their "Samba" style football that is capable of dominating a match from start to finish. Both teams are very good at holding and keeping possession of the ball making it very difficult for their opponent to beat them.
In yesterday game, Brazil goals scorers were Juan, Luis Fabiano and Robinho. Juan scored Brazil first goal with a header from a corner kick. Follow by Luis Fabiano well taken goal assisted by Kaka. Lastly, Robinho ended Chile misery with the third goals making the score line 3-0 to Brazil. In another match, Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder give Holland a two goals advantage before Robert Vittek scored from the penalty spot deep into the injury time. It was a comfortable win 2-1 for the Dutch.
Both teams will clash on 2 of July 2010 for a place in the semi final. The one that come out as a winner will sure be the favorite to reach the final as the opponent in the semi final is either Ghana or Uruguay. Either Brazil or Holland is expected to beat any of the two teams to reach the final of this year tournament.
