Hail the Dutch!

It was just enthralling! The atmosphere, the commentator and of course, the match. This was no ordinary match; it's the Dutch going against Brazil mind you, a five-times world cup holder who never lost a tournament in this world cup... At least till today.

I was astonished, because I thought Brazil looked like they were going to win the match when Robinho first-half strike sunk the Dutch ship in the early 10-minutes of the game. Throughout the first half, they continued to attack the Dutch defense, almost making it 2-0 at half-time.

However, things change during the remaining 45 minutes. It's the dutch that attacked the brazilian now. Everything went from bad to worst for the brazilian. First, an own goal, then another goal conceded, and finally a red-card for Mello.

Up until the 83rd minute, I was waiting anxiously for the final whistle to blow. Why? Because it is now Netherlands turns to write a history - by defeating Brazil. And next, becoming the world champion. They were superbly magnificent in this world cup, winning every game they played.

For once now I've become a holland supporter. And frankly, it's not something to be embarrassed at. They truly deserved this, the win and the world cup; so whatever it is, Hail the Dutch!
