Brazilians played a sloppy match today, the early goal didn't help them but, I think, ended up hurting them, 'cause they were getting too relaxed, making sloppy passes. The attacks were very unorganized, not efficient at all. Dani Alves can only play on the wing, he's NOT a central midfield ball controller, he held on to the ball too much making Dutches defense easier.
Dutches were aggressive, well prepared, and didn't let early goal affect their original game plan. They possess the ball well (51% vs 49%) against the Brazilians! Ref was too soft, probably was prepped by FIFA, not willing to issue yellow cards in the beginning, the match did get physical, even though it didn't get out of hands, but the soft tone encouraged the Dutches, ended up not in Brazilian's favor.
In general it was a good match, but a classic for sure.
