2014 World Cup Consolation - Netherlands vs Brazil
No consolation for the hosts, Dutch down Brazil 3-0. Sneijder pulled a hammy during the warm up and was
replaced by De Guzmán.
1-0 at 2' Van Persie takes down a long ball, twirls and feeds Robben who slices open the weak Brazilian backline.
Canarinho's best defender Silva hauled down Robben just inside the box and was fortunate to have only been shown a yellow. Van Persie converted the penalty.
2-0 at 16' De Guzmán lofted a cross into the box, Luiz exhibits a major "blind spot" by heading the ball straight into the path of an unmarked Blind who directed the ball into the roof of the net from 12 yards out.
With the Dutch striking twice inside of 17', the hosts have conceded nine goals in 97 minutes.
3-0 at 91' Robben motors down the right, stops and passes to Janmaat, near the end line, cutting the ball back for Wijnaldumm who meets the cross inside the area to sweep in a late third goal.
Unlike Brazil, Los Gauchos actually possess a defense, but still.... Why couldn't a Clockwork Orange have taken some risks and played this aggressive vs Argentina?
In July 2012, Brazilian defender Thiago Silva transferred from Milan to PSG for a fee rumored to be around €42 million...
which at the time, would have made Silva the most expensive defender in football history.
At his arrival, Silva was presented to the media as the "best defender in the world" by PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
In June 2014, Brazilian defender David Luiz transferred from Chelsea to PSG for a fee of €62 million, a new world record transfer for a defender.
Fielding the two most expensive defenders in football history, in their last two games, vs Germany and the Netherlands...
the host side have been outscored 10 - 1, with their lone goal being an extra time gift.
After these performances, me thinks PSG management are furiously scrambling to....
find the receipt's for both players on the off chance they can get a refund or exchange.
