Well,the homeboys and the five times world champions have done it again and this time they will be more proud as they have done it in their hometown.Brazil has qualified for the knockout stages of world cup 2014.After drawing their second match against their south American opponents Mexico Brazil became a little loose both physically and psychologically.But in their 3rd match against Cameroon,Brazil have shown the same confidence that they have shown in Confideration Cup 2013.
The Match started with Brazil having most of the possesion and the first breakthrough came in the 17th minute when Neymar deftly guide the ball to the far corner.But just after 9 minutes with intense attacking from Cameroon the match took away a turn when Joel Matip scored a goal.Cameroon had just started playing well when Brazil become most dangerous than ever and with the support of the whole brazilian supporters chanting the name of the players-Neymar scored his 2nd goal and the match went as 2-1 in half-time.
As soon as the half time started David luiz who recently has been transferred to PSG passed a chip from the far end of the left wing and fred headed a beautiful goal in the 49th minute.In the 2nd half though cameroon created some chances but none of them were converted and then in the 84th minute fernandinho ended the match with a impressive chip into the right corner and Brazil had a cracking Victory over Cameroon.In the other match of Group A Mexico qualifies after beating croatia 3-1.So from Group A both the south American team qualified for the knockout stages.
In the Group B Matches Netherland won against chile with two late goals one in 77th minute by leory far and otherone in extra time by Dempay.Though one of the shocking fact was that chile has a total of 64% of the ball possesion but the only thing that kept them not to score was a good defending from netherland.Though i am not impressed from their performance throughout the match.But the main man to watch was Robben who even at this age was running with the ball passing and dribbling two to three players and then taking a shot.Quite impressive huh?
Whereas Spain won their only and last match against Australia by 3-0 and it was a very emotional moment from David Villa when he scored his last goal for spain as he took retirement from international football.Other two players to score for Spain were Juan Mata and Fernando Torres.So Group A and Group B matches are over and as thing stands Netherland will be facing Mexico in the next round whereas Brazil will be facing Chile.So its goodbye for a team like spain the defending champions and Austarlia was also exciting these year after their way of playing against Netherland.
