2010 Football World Cup is surely reaching a crescendo as first Quarter Final is about to kick off in few minutes. It will feature perennial favourites, Brazil takes on the impressive Dutch. I will be watching this 'Clash of Titans' with hawk eyes as this has a potential World Cup winner or at least, a Finalist.
What excites me is that it promises to be a close contest and a riveting one at that too. Hopefully, knowing the style of Brazil and Nederlands, there will be no dearth of exhilarating moments in store over the next 90 minutes. Both sides are known for their attractive style of football.
Over the years, Brazil has metamorphosed into a strong defensive unit who is rampaging on a counter attack. Unlike the star studded teams of the past, they play a waiting game to perfection. One mistake by the Dutch and Kaka, Danny Alves, Maicon, Luis Fabiano, Robinho and co. will ready to punish them severely.
But Dutch have the fire power in their arsenal as well with Arjen Robben marked a successful return after an injury lay off. Besides, Robben, Wesley Sneijder is in top striking form as well. Although Robin Van Persie caused a flutter with his outburst against their coach. He would like to forget his inane accusation that created quite a flutter in the Dutch squad and jitters in the Dutch camp.
I feel, Brazil although they do not possess the menacing Ronaldo - Rivaldo duo, terrific Ronaldinho and lightning quick Roberto Carlos anymore. But they have discovered new exciting talent who take more pride in representing their beloved country whose record has been nothing but phenomenal in arguably the most premiere tournament in sports history, Football World Cup.
Although they are not in the top gear, today, we may see them getting into the stride and mesmerize the Dutch before they know what hit them!
Get ready for an exhilarating football between two giants of the game. Sit back and enjoy the action unfold.
Viva La Brazil!
