I watched the Dutch play the other day
, against Brazil and saw them win that game in their particular style they’re now known for: messy football with a teeny bit of flair and luck. After the equalizer, that unfortunate mix-up from Cesar and Melo, I was surprised to see the Brazilian team completely collapse, physically and emotionally. There was a remark by one of the guests at the CBC who said it the best (quoted as best as I can):
“There was this total lack of emotional balance in the Brazil team: From Dunga literally kicking and beating up the dug-out to his players losing it on the field”
God. Sometimes I just hate this game for all the theatrics of the players and coaches.
