Netherlands beat Brazil after a match that can only be referred to as a classic of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. With a 2-1 victory over Brazil, the Dutch are through to the semi-finals.
With their brilliant win over Brazil, the Dutch have proclaimed yet again that they are a force to recon with in this world cup. Now that they have displayed what they are really made of, the Dutch have now definitely emerged as one of my favorite.
The Dutch beat the Brazilians after being downed 1-0 in the first-half. The first goal was conceded by Brazil due to a misjudgment from Julio Caesar, which resulted in a self-goal. That put the Dutch in a 1-1 equalizer and the second goal came from Sneijder. Brazilians saw themselves a man down when the referee awarded Filipe Melo a red card. It was game over for the Brazilians from that point onwards.
The aftermath of the Netherlands’ win over Brazil resulted in Twitter servers going down. Waiting for tomorrows news paper to find out how the world changes after today’s match.
Now as i finish this post, i’m downing the last Bud i bought for the mighty Brazilians!.

Call it a day .. or The Day!!. It was maniacal fun !!!
Arun, Me and Abhilash , started off from my place around noon. Joined the rest of the gang and after a 10km journey reached Paintball Arena. After a quick round of intro into the safety instructions we split into two teams of 11 players each – The RED Team and The GREY Team.
I have to be honest. Me and Arun had our doubts on Kaashif. He has played Counter-Strike with us and he is infamous for his friendly fires. Well we took our chances and included him too in our team.
9 guys and 2 girls in our team. We let the girls guard the base and shoot anyone who dared to come close. They also did the recon work.
Round 1, was in our favor. Me and Arun, paired up and we were able to sneak up on the other team from behind. On the way we took out two opponents each. After that just shoot’em from behind and enjoy the kill. But joy didn’t last long, i got hit on the shoulder and has to leave. But we WON!!.
The fun part was that. Kaashif and Abhilash had paired up. But once the match started they both went their own ways. 
Round 2, they beat us. I didn’t had much of a choice and was shot on the hand.
Round 3 – To everyone’s surprise, Kaashif lead a suicide attack. He just charged into the otherside. They were just left confused and we took advantage of that.
Every one was exhausted after this round. I faced the grim reality that i had far less stamina than i had thought about. Running, crouching and jumping up again had proved too much for me. The afternoon heat was unbearable. After each round all of us would just crowd near the water dispenser.
Round 4 – i will remember this very clearly – two head shots .. wow what a feeling. That was short lived when i realized that i had run out of bullets and had to withdraw. 
By Round 5, we were all exhausted and once we advanced and ducked behind a sandbag we just stayed there. Legs were too heavy to be taken around 
. That was it. The opposition just advanced and we were sitting ducks.
We lost 3-2
Phew … what a day .. all exhausted and not even a bit of energy left in anyone. Hungry to the bones we headed out to the nearby dhaba. Ate our hearts out.
After that it was long tiring journey home.
Enjoyed every bit of it …
Heading to the same place next week too…
Already the cheerleaders are causing heads to turn(or rather bend down and look up), distract batsmen, increasing stampedes near their place on the field.
Shobhaa De has written this hilarious article – Cheerleader’s diary.
I must say i couldn’t stop laughing …
Here are some excerpts
…Gee… I am like totally weirded out by this whole India gig. Like these Indians are majorly weird! Especially that minister dude from Mumbai who wants to ban us from shaking our pom poms. Come on, man. Chill out. It’s really hot out there. Like 40 degrees C, okay? What do you want us gals to wear? Eskimo suits? Oh oh, I get it — we are the ones getting the heat up, right baby? That’s our job, honey! We get paid for it. Ask that cutie with the big mama earstuds who hired us — Veejay. The bigger, the better, he said. We thought he was referring to the crowds in the stadium…
…Especially those handsome hunks with ponytails who are on the field playing some bizarro game that’s not half as much fun as baseball or soccer. We were told it’s called ‘Cricket’. What a cute name! I always thought cricket was an insect!…
…Occasionally, they also watch the game, especially when that funny umpire is dancing and prancing behind three sticks. The teams are like Russian salad, with players of all hues mixed up in the bowl. Our job is easy — we cheer for the boss’ team….
…Of course, there are some gross guys who ask us to bend forward for a better shot, but we aren’t stooopid. We turn around and show our fannies instead. Pretty smart, huh?…
….Indian chicks are way out wild, try clubbing with them… their moves would give pole dancers a complex. Maybe that minister dude should party with locals and scope the scene for himself…. night riding, anyone? We luv our groovy work and groovy undies errr, costumes….
ROTFLOL… 
But have to agree they are Hot :
