Netherlands (2) - (1) Brazil - Quarterfinal
The first quarter-final, was defined in surprise. Holland got the ticket to the semifinals, but perhaps the most significant news is the Brazilian phase. The eternal candidate, the path seemed to end as a mere formality, was left with empty hands, chewing anger and helplessness. Nothing
did foresee this outcome, especially if one takes into account the performance of those led by Dunga for the first time, which obliterated the field to a warm expression of all Dutch. Robinho opened the scoring after nine minutes. The quality displayed by Kaka and company in the initial stage seemed to indicate that was the way to semis paved. But verdeamarelha, blue this time, made the mistake of leaving his opponent alive. And pay dearly.
In the space of a quarter of an hour, toppled the giant orange football. At 8, Julio Cesar calculation wrong to cut out a center, the ball deflected off Felipe Melo and a draw. Wesley Sneijder converted the second for the Europeans. A while later, the author of the self goal was to expel the stomp Arjen Robben. The Brazilian national team lost his temper and went into a war of nerves in which it emerged clearly impaired. The penta champion wanted to react, but his attempt was warm and unproductive.
Holland must beat Uruguay to reach the third final in their history. Brazil says goodbye, then. An unexpected early bye. The conclusion of a dream and end the cycle Dunga in charge of the selection, all at the same price. Chau penta, you know when you get home.

Uruguay (1) - (1) Ghana - Quarterfinal
Uruguay won 4-2 on kicks from the penalty spot.
Occasionally football gives us one of those sublime moments, magical. One of those moments that make it worthwhile to be one hundred and twenty minutes on the court, in a chair on either side, which allows you to enjoy this game wonderful. Within sixty seconds, sometimes more, sometimes less, when the destination turns around in the air to change hands and leave everyone with an open mouth. That destiny gave him a knowing wink to the sky.
team Oscar Washington Tabarez was with one foot out. Luis Suarez had diverted a header with his hand that was brought into the arch of Muslera. There was no room for discussion: criminal and deportation. Ghana had a penalty to fifteen minutes into the second extra time for a party that was tied in one. It was the end.
