Ten in Two

So, there we have it. A game of two halves in which Holland were by far the better team. Brazil let in ten goals in just two matches...

Robin van Persie thumps in a penalty just 3 minutes into the game and Daley Blind adds a second in the 17th minute. We then had to wait until 90+1 minutes for Georginio Wijnaldum to make it 3-0 with a fantastic goal.

So, Holland take the bronze medal and Brazil take the wooden spoon....

The Wooden Spoon

Not sure whether or not I can be bothered to watch the play-off for third place tonight in the Football World Cup. Brazil are to play Holland. Brazil who were humiliated mid week with a 7-1 thrashing by Germany and Holland who played out the big yawn against Argentina, resulting in a 0-0 score line after 120 minutes. Holland then lost the penalty shoot-out 2-4. Frankly I find the 3rd place play-off for the wooden spoon rather pointless. But come 9:00pm with nothing much else to watch.....
