By Gordon Fleetwood, writing from New York
Tomorrow in the Serra Dourada Stadium in Goiânia, these two juggernauts of world football will
clash once again. Their last meeting just under a year ago in the World Cup in South Africa was not
a classic, but it was memorable for the Dutch fight back which saw them book a place in the
semifinals.
Once again Brazil failed at the World Cup despite entering the competition as favourites.
Robinho looked to have sent them on their way to the last four in Port Elizabeth before a Wesley
Sneijder brace put the Dutch through instead. The expected fightback never came and for a second
World Cup in a row the world's most valued soccer nation trooped off into the shadows.
