Round of 16: Slovakia was no rival for the Netherlands

The Netherlands came to South Africa with enormous expectation, and they have done it right so far. Bert van Marwijk's side beat Slovakia 2-1 at the Durban stadium and advanced to the quarterfinals. Now they are set for a dramatic encounter with Brazil on friday.
Arjen Robben is once again the playmaker of the Netherlands, and he scored the first goal of his team at minute 18. Wesley Sneijder netted the second one at 84', but Slovakia managed to score the goal of honor in the very last minute of the match.
Mabye the Netherlands are not displaying their famous "Total Football" but they have enough talent to beat Brazil and even reach the Final Game in this tournament. The world will know the answer on Friday.
