Brazil vs. Holland Will Set Off the World Cup's Fireworks

The World Cup final is supposed to offer the thrilling climax to a month long tournament that has enthralled billions of people across the planet, but more often than not, it's a pretty dull game -- Italy's 2006 penalties win came after a bore draw in which Zidane's red-card earning head butt of Materazzi was the high point; Brazil's 2002 triumph over Germany was elegant enough, but the result was rarely in doubt; France's 1998 win over Brazil may be an exception in that it was against the odds, although Brazil hardly seemed to show up that day; Brazil's 1994 win on penalties after a draw with Italy may have been the most soporific game the final has ever served up, etc. (I honestly believe the last time the final game served up a genuine nail-biting thriller was the 1978 showdown between hosts Argentina and Holland.) The best action at the World Cup typically comes in Quarter- and Semi-finals, which means we're in for a real treat over the next week, starting with this weekend's round of quarterfinals.

I'm sad Brazil lost...

Now Twitter is over capacity due to all the butthurt.

(AND AMAGAD ANOTHER BRAZILIAN UTAU USER MUST KIDNAP, I MEAN, BEFRIEND >D Also, it's funny how most Brazilians prefer to spell Holland to Netherlands; it's easier and sounds more like "Holanda", which would be the country's name in Portuguese XD)

Meh, I like Holland better than the Netherlands. It's shorter and easier to spell. xD

Holland may be easier, but it actualy just refers to ONE part of the Netherlands. In history class we're not even allowed to use Holland, because some people might feel excluded x'D

Yeah, I know...
