Brazil Crash Out of the 2010 FIFA World Cup


Brazil has just crashed out of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Everyone in Brazil are mourning about the exit of the Brazilian team. Brazil lost to Holland 1-2 in the quarter final stage. Two goals from Wesley Sneijder help Holland to a come from behind win over the Brazilian. Brazil started the game in tremendously; by taking the game to Holland. They dominated the game and have the better of the ball possession in the first half. Deservedly, they took the lead in the 10th minute. Robinho scored from a superb through ball by Felipe Melo. Everything went the Brazilian way and they never look like a team that will lose that game. The Dutch was having a though time containing and neutralizing the attack from Kaka, Luis Fabiano and Robinho.

However in the second half of the game, it was shocking that Brazil fall apart. The down fall was mainly contributed by the lack of discipline in their defending. They concede both goals from free kick and corner respectively. However, credit should be given to Holland for their positive approach in the second half. The coach did not make any formation changes, but the Dutch changed in term of their playing approach. They attacked the weaker side of the Brazilian defense more often. The right side of the Brazilian defense consists of Maicon, Gilberto and Lucio is the stronger side compare to the left side of defense that consist of Juan, Bastos and Melo. Their strategy was rewarded with two goals from Sneijder.

Holland will meet Uruguay in the semi final of 2010 FIFA World Cup. Brazil will have to wait for another four years to have a chance to win the tournament. They can do so in their own country as Brazil will become the host of the 2014 tournament.
