Soccer’s perennial World Cup underachievers from the Netherlands knocked off mighty Brazil on Friday, stamping the Dutch as a strong contender to finally win that elusive title.

Brazil’s dreams of a sixth World Cup title were shattered as the Netherlands came from behind to claim a famous 2-1 win in an enthralling quarterfinal here on Friday.
An own goal by Felipe Melo — who was to be sent off later — and a Wesley Sneijder header enabled the Dutch to overturn Robinho’s early opener for Brazil and completely turn around a match that, at half-time, the five-times world champions appeared destined to win comfortably.

Kaka is one of a cluster of players treading a yellow card tightrope in Friday’s World Cup quarterfinal between The Netherlands and Brazil.
The Real Madrid playmaker is joined by Luis Fabiano, Juan and Felipe Melo in the group of Brazilians who will miss a potential semifinal against Uruguay or Ghana if he picks up a booking in Friday’s game.

Brazil, without suspended Ramires and injured Elano, face the Netherlands here on Friday for the fourth time at a World Cup in what promises to be an explosive quarterfinal.

Ground staff at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium will work nearly 24 hours a day for the next five days trying to ensure that two of the best teams at the World Cup won’t have to play on an inferior pitch.

Uruguay became the first country to make it into the World Cup quarterfinals with a 2-1 win over South Korea at a sodden Nelson Mandela Bay stadium here on Saturday.
Goals in either half from Luis Suarez earned Uruguay, who last made the quarterfinals in 1970 before finishing fourth, a last eight date with either the United States or Ghana — who play later on Saturday — in Johannesburg on July 2.

South Korea and Uruguay meet here on Saturday in a fascinating World Cup last 16 clash that few pundits would have predicted at the start of the tournament.
The Asian giants have earned a reputation as set piece masters in South Africa, with three of their five first round goals coming from freekicks, some feat given the unpredictability of the Jubalani ball.

England’s World Cup campaign finally took off on Wednesday at the third attempt as Fabio Capello’s side qualified for the last 16 with a 1-0 win over Slovenia.
But the United States took top spot in Group C with an injury-time winner over Algeria, meaning England finished runners-up and Slovenia — who had begun the day on top of the table — were eliminated.

Chile continued their dream World Cup run with a 1-0 defeat of 10-man Switzerland here on Monday to move within touching distance of the last 16. The South Americans climbed to the top of Group H after second half substitute Mark Gonzalez finally broke down a steely Swiss defence in the 75th minute.
