That was a sensational contest. Both teams gave it everything and it was decided in the end by a moment of genius, Dennis Bergkamp’s stunning strike earning Holland a place in the last four. They’ll fancy their chances of going all the way now. Beating a team as good as Argentina is no mean feat. But they’ll have to be on it when they face another set of South American giants – the holders, Brazil, who’ve got the brilliant young forward Ronaldo leading their attack. Many believe Ronaldo will come to define this World Cup. Bergkamp might have other ideas, though. Thanks for reading and emailing. Bye!
PEEP! PEEP! PEEP! THAT’S IT! HOLLAND WILL PLAY BRAZIL IN THE SEMI-FINALS AFTER EDGING A SUPERB GAME. WHY AM I SHOUTING. DENNIS BERGKAMP IS WHY I’M SHOUTING. WHAT A PLAYER. ARIEL ORTEGA, THOUGH. WHAT A PLAYER. BUT WHAT AN IDIOT. ARGENTINA CAN’T BELIEVE THEY’RE OUT.
