Netherlands wins!

What a game! This was definitely the best game I've watched so far. The first half had two of the best goals I've seen, both launched from far away by each team. There was also a brutal moment where a Dutch player went for a header and a Uruguayan guy did a bicycle kick, striking the ball and the Dutch guy's head. There was a nice display of sportsmanship soon after, with the Uruguayan guy clearly concerned for the guy he kicked and a Dutch player patting him on the back to console him. And Uruguay really stayed in it to win it, scoring a goal in the last few minutes and really putting pressure on the Netherlands to stay on offense right until the end. Amazing! And my desire to see a new team win the Cup is now closer than ever to coming true.
