Now it's not that bad for Brazil fans. They were now 5-0 down at this stage against the Germans...


In fact, almost as if they've just realised that fact, the Brazilians begin a Mexican Wave. Suppose they've got to entertain themselves somehow.

Oscar is the Brazil player charged with taking the free-kick, whipping a curling out-swinging towards the six-yard box. David Luiz and Jo both climb into the air, but the ball flicks off of Luiz's bonce and out for a goal kick.

Brazil struggle to move the ball out of the own half, before that man Oscar picks up the pace. The Chelsea midfielder has the back of his heels clipped by Bruno Martins Indi on the right edge of the Dutch box. Chance...

Brazil have not lost consecutive matches on home soil since 1940; 0-3 v Argentina in Feb 1940 and 3-4 v Uruguay in March 1940.

Back come the Netherlands. Stefan De Vrij and Dirk Kuyt both find space close to the right touchline, but neither man can pick out a blue Dutch shirt in the danger zone. Decent tempo to this opening 25 minutes.

Sam Glazier: Daley Blind would be a better lone striker than Fred or Jo.
Kevin Crighton: You can't believe Paris Saint-Germain paid £40m for David Luiz. Shocking defending.

Oscar is the only Brazil looking capable of doing something special for the Brazilians at the moment. He ghosts past a line of Dutch defenders to get on the end of Willian's lofted pass, but Ron Vlaar flies back to pinch the ball off his toe. Good defending.

Brazil were only 1-0 down after 16 minutes against Germany. Just saying...

"I am afraid it is another defensive horror show. David Luiz had no awareness of what was going on and Daley Blind smacks it into the roof of the net. We have played 17 minutes and the home fans are silent.
"Where do Brazil go from here? Have they learned their lesson from the match against Germany in Belo Horizonte?"


GOAL
Brazil 0-2 Netherlands - Daley Blind

Oh. My. Word. Yet more terrible defending by David Luiz, who tamely heads a right-wing cross down to Daley Blind. He is lurking about 15 yards out and shows no mercy - slamming in his first international goal. More Brazilian tears in the stands.

Will, Essex: I am outraged by that decision, there is no-one anywhere near Thiago Silva. Clear red card, regardless of whether it was in or outside the box. I am fed up with Brazil constantly getting favoured by refs. If they had lost Silva, it would have been a completely different match as Brazil can't defend without him.


Michael, Watford: Two wrongs making a right? Should have been a free-kick, should have been a red card. Yet the decision is probably good for the game.

To be fair, Brazil have recovered well from that early setback. And the home crowd are giving them plenty of vocal encouragement. Dutch centre-half Ron 'Roncrete' Vlaar heads away another ball into the box. That lad would head a concrete slab away if you threw one his way.

Some more success for Brazil down the Dutch right. A short free-kick from Oscar catches makeshift wing-back Dirk Kuyt napping, Maxwell whipping in another delicious cross. But that hulking Dutch defender Bruno Martins Indi stops a yellow shirt getting anywhere near.


Vote - Should Thiago have seen red?

He conceded a penalty after 90 seconds but should Brazil captain Thiago Silva have been sent off for his challenge on Arjen Robben?

Tom Miszkowski: Shocking refereeing, got both decisions wrong, should've been a free-kick and a red card not a penalty and a yellow.


Jonathan Guckian: Robin van Persie on four goals now... He must fancy the golden boot against this Brazil side! This could get messy.

Very open start. David Luiz goes wandering again, fresh airing an attempted tackle near the halfway line, as the Dutch break. The Selecao get back in numbers though to scramble clear. More horror show defending from the ex-Chelsea man.

Good opportunity for Brazil to roar back into this game. Oscar's teasing ball from the left goes down the corridor of uncertainty between Dutch defence and goalkeeper, but Ramires cannot get an outstretched toe on the ball.

"You could make the case that a free-kick on the edge of the area and a red card for Thiago Silva might have been the right decision but the referee gave a penalty and a yellow card.

"Brazil are behind again. Robin van Persie's fourth goal of this World Cup and it was a good penalty."
