Great first day of Quarterfinals

For the first time in history, Brazil led in the first-half and lost the game to Holland. Felipe Melo gave up an own-goal early in the second-half and would later on get a red card exactly 20 minutes later in the 73rd minute. However, just prior to the red card Sneijder had a fabulous header that would prove to be the goal that sends Holland to the finals.

In the Ghana vs Uruguay game, Ghana would take a first-half lead but Diego Forlan wouldn't care - 8 minutes into the second-half he would score an amazing free-kick. However, in the final minutes of extra time Suarez would purposely use his hands to block a guaranteed goal for Ghana. Fortunately/ unfortunately for Suarez, he will miss the next game but that hand ball would prove decisive as the penalty would be missed and Uruguay would advance on pk's, 4-2. Perhaps this year the hand of magic will be Suarez's hand. Smart guy if I may say so myself (although disgraceful at the same time).
