the Netherlands was far from great, especially in the first half, but on that field stood a team that didn't lose a bit of focus after falling behind, while Brasil started losing massive amounts of focus and discipline after the 1-1, and then after the 2-1 they just went ballistic. The Dutch team really needs to start punishing mistakes though, especially at the end there it should have been 3-1 or even 4-1 with the insane amount of space left by the Brasilians.
In terms of quality of play the Netherlands should not have won, but in terms of professionalism and discipline they certainly did.
