In a World Cup that has been anything but predictable, Netherlands took the field today and handed heavy favorite Brazil their first loss of the tournament. Unfortunately for the Brazilians, it came in the knockout round -- they're headed home early.
So, there goes the team that I would have picked if I was a gambling man back on Day One. Who is left? I think I'd have to pick Argentina as the favorite, but they have a very tough matchup against Germany. Either way, this Netherlands squad is headed to the semifinals to do battle with the winner of the Uruguay-Ghana match coming up later today.
