00:00...will form the left side in midfield and defence, and the man who loses his place is Frank de Boer.
00:14As for Brazil, they too make just one change.
00:20Branco, at number six, comes in, in place of the suspended Leonardo.
00:27Branco winning his 74th cap, but he hasn't played a competitive game for a month.
00:33An early test, I'm sure, Dick Adverkar has asked for Mark Overmars.
00:38All the quarter-finals had their fascination.
00:52Here, in the seventh largest city in the United States, we have the glamour.
01:07Romario and Bebeto wait.
01:10One of the keys will clearly be how well they are marked.
01:19You could say it's Romario against Bergkamp.
01:24You could say it's Koeman against his club colleague Romario.
01:27It's the Brazilians of Europe, as the Dutch are often called, against the real McCoy.
01:36A Brazilian side suggesting it's the best since the World Cup in Spain in 1982.
01:42Here's Jonk, who's played a major part in that.
01:45And Falux, an indication of the confidence in the Dutch camp.
01:49Both Falux and Winter volunteered to mark Romario.
01:55Here's Dunga.
01:59And Ahir.
02:02Marcio Santos.
02:03At the moment, it's Falux, who's got the job of marking Romario.
02:10Yes, because they know each other very well, used to be at Eindhoven, good friends.
02:16I believe Falux went over for a summer holiday once in Brazil.
02:20Who's going to go off on holiday after this game, I don't know.
02:23But Holland, I think, delighted with the weather.
02:25Be interested to see how Overmars does with his pace against Franco down this right-hand flank.
02:31But I think, for me, the key area is in midfield, where I think Holland have the edge.
02:35And if they can get control there, they could get a surprise win.
02:39Interesting that, unlike in practice yesterday, Valtas starting off on the right side.
02:48Jorginho.
02:54Dunga.
02:58Taken well by Marosilva.
02:59Romario.
03:03Come this deep to find the ball.
03:06And it just followed his run.
03:07Back again to Romario.
03:09Early shot.
03:13Bumps in front of Ed de Hoey.
03:16He actually collected the ball.
03:18His weight was on his heels.
03:19First time he's actually come deeper.
03:24He was going for the far corner.
03:28Big shot we had there of Brian Roy.
03:31Jonk take the resulting free kick.
03:32And Bergkamp got underneath it and couldn't control it.
03:42First chance for the Dutch.
03:43Definitely got a bit of space as well.
03:47Got between, I think it was Marcio Santos and Dunga.
03:50You see as it comes over, it gets between the two of them.
03:53Just can't get over the ball and head it down into the net.
03:55Marosilva.
03:56Branco's made a good run.
03:57He has to peel away.
03:58Vossen came back with him.
03:59Vossen now on the right side.
04:00Overmars on the left.
04:01Marosilva.
04:02Dunga.
04:03Marosilva.
04:04Marosilva.
04:05Vossen came back with him.
04:06Vossen now on the right side.
04:07Overmars on the left.
04:08Marosilva.
04:09Dunga.
04:10Marosilva.
04:11Marosilva.
04:12Marosilva.
04:13Marosilva.
04:14Marosilva.
04:15Marosilva.
04:16Marosilva.
04:17Marosilva.
04:18Hit it well.
04:19They worked it well to find a bit of space on the right.
04:20He certainly struck the ball very well.
04:23He certainly struck the ball very well.
04:32very cleanly.
04:33Romario made the opening.
04:35You can see Paluk's going off with Romario.
04:40Bergkamp at the moment is in the six-yard area.
04:49Rijkaard takes a position in front of him.
04:51Van Vossen at the back.
04:54It struck in.
04:55Marosilva got his head to it.
04:57Bergkamp.
04:59Bergkamp.
05:04Quality attempt even if he didn't make it.
05:06There was so little room to bend it round.
05:08But he went for it.
05:10I think he was trying to drag it away outside the penalty area.
05:14And he told a dummy to the defender.
05:16But then he tried to pick a spot in the near post.
05:19Cadrelle always had it covered.
05:21Aldea coming in on the far post.
05:24And absolutely vital Rijkaard got to that cross.
05:27Mario just outside the six-yard area.
05:32Jorginho is on the near post.
05:34Marciacentos and Aldea both up.
05:36Marciacentos!
05:40And really not very far away.
05:45Diving header.
05:46Look at the angle of the body when he actually makes contact with the ball.
05:53Did really well and was unlucky.
05:55I think if it had been coming back in Balthus would have met it.
05:59Whipping in with the left foot there.
06:01Good flicked header and about as jumping as high as he can.
06:04I'm not sure whether he could have kept it.
06:09It's a stoppage time but not much for the referee to allow.
06:16Outcome Brazil.
06:17Again the referee well placed.
06:22At the year.
06:23That's a good drop pass.
06:24This is Zinho.
06:26Extra touch.
06:27Now it's on his wrong foot.
06:28Romario going at the heart of the defence.
06:31And the poke shot.
06:33In the end.
06:35After lovely stuff from Romario.
06:38The man who touched it last.
06:40Was Adair.
06:42Well that was the best flowing move of the first half.
06:45Romario does brilliantly here.
06:47And Aldea.
06:48I think being a central defender.
06:50Wasn't quite reading the little toe poke to the side.
06:53And was on his heels.
06:54And then was at full stretch.
06:56When he tried to.
06:57In fact as you see Zinho come in.
06:58He feeds it into Romario.
06:59And then it was.
07:00Aldea then.
07:01Who in fact.
07:02Just wasted.
07:03What was probably.
07:04The.
07:05The best opening.
07:06Brazil have created.
07:07The first half.
07:08In the half.
07:09And, uh.
07:10The first half.
07:11And, uh.
07:12Brazil have been the big criticized for.
07:13One or two of their own media.
07:14Pele included for.
07:15but a very even contest isn't it the first half and uh brazil have been being criticized by one
07:29or two of their own media peli included for perhaps being a little bit too defensive in
07:33midfield marrow silva has been the outstanding player on the field the number five but i must
07:37say dunga alongside madzinho those three are more defensive players and means xeno is the only more
07:44attacking one and i wonder if it stays sort of this cautious approach for order of an hour into
07:49the second half whether somebody like ray might come on
07:52muscled a bit by branco
08:14free kick was inevitable let's balance up that argument of course you can hardly say the dutch
08:20have been that adventurous themselves
08:23you can argue the nearer you get to success the tighter the matches become
08:33you want to take the free kick but you have five in the box
08:39at the back is reikard's palux underneath it up by jorginho bergkamp shot block cuban
08:48the danger passes but for the neutral there has not been enough danger in the first 45 minutes of this contest
08:59both sides concerned not to give anything away but maybe the second half will show a different story
09:08question is who will be the first to gamble and would it be a successful one half time score
09:14the cotton ball in dallas holland the netherlands nil brazil nil
09:23so who will change things first
09:33so who will change things first
09:33so who will change things first
09:38boston
09:40rich girl the first three dutch when involved
09:44zio
09:47for brazil
09:55we think it's given to holland
09:59they've used 17 of their 22 players holland the brazilians one fewer
10:10take palux has got forward
10:12looking for the nod down but it was too strong for reikard to make that nod down
10:24second time that uh borenko has got forward but now there's a hole that is left
10:29reikard
10:30i think there were signs towards the end of the half that things were opening out
10:37and the start of the second half they certainly are
10:39romario is in the middle
10:40and scores
10:41four goals
10:49in five games
10:51classic break
10:53and romario
10:56gets a standing ovation in the cotton ball
10:59everybody wants to hug him
11:03only those on the field are allowed to
11:06referee
11:10notes the goal
11:12that gives brazil the lead
11:13pebeto on the left side
11:16he knew he would find the finish
11:18and romario
11:20was the finisher
11:22great early cross for verbato he got to wrong side of vouchers just for once
11:28romario again just ahead of valix
11:31and you can't allow that with those two quality strikers they make the most of it
11:35and all that hard work now has been undone for the dutch team
11:39and they've got to now suddenly readjust and look more positive
11:43go
11:48in the 52nd minute of the match
11:53now the dutch have to show their more positive side
12:00the dutch have to show their more positive side
12:02he who dares wins
12:12right car
12:15young good interception I have the year and Romario down the middle and the
12:25who he comes way out
12:28have to find the finish of Mario that it was almost as if it was a fly-versile
12:32practice game he just stroked it into the net and pick at the car reacts very
12:37quickly Brian raw comes into the frame
12:42it's replacing it to fun also adopted this policy
12:48the warmer days from Boston those coach are run my socks off for 60 minutes and
12:53then you can make a change
13:04you know very comfortably read that and which can now has to chase your junior
13:08plays it into Bebeto, Romario is just behind him, Bebeto goes for the shot and clicks the far post
13:16entitled to have a go he scored one earlier in the competition from that sort of
13:20angle Romario made the run to him there was another player out to the left side
13:25and Bebeto thought he could find a gap to the right as he was challenged and he was
13:31very unlucky that he didn't succeed
13:34the outers lost him again Felix had to come across try to retrieve it click the
13:39outside of the post
13:42is Al Camaro Silva
13:48Jorginho
13:50Brazil had this match by the scruff of the neck
13:53the Mario goes away good stop
13:58so quick to accelerate with those little feet little strides took him away from
14:04folks he has wonderful balance doesn't he is so strong and just pushes off the
14:09market at the moment in the last 20 minutes he just exploded into another gear
14:15and it just looks one of the top strikers doesn't he in the world and prove in
14:19that he said this would be my World Cup could just be right
14:29play the ball then by the defender
14:40just like didn't go up and it look as other words and I thought everybody stopped
14:43and this is Bebeto
14:47and that's the second goal the Dutch can't believe it
14:51everyone stopped on the field for a moment
14:56it's Samba time at the cotton ball
15:02the Dutch still can't believe it and the referee is slowly making his way over to talk to the linesman
15:08well it's a classic case of the new rule because it definitely I think was Romario initially was walking back was in an offside position but of course the new rule says he's not interfering with play it but the Dutch just assumed he was and they stopped and of course that is fatal
15:26Rebato then one against one
15:28Rebato then one against one does the simple gets it on his little right foot tucks it in and I think that is the game over
15:36one is reminded of the remark of the late Danny Blanchflower if you're not interfering with play what are you doing on the pitch but it's been made clear
15:44the players that if you're coming from an offside position and not seeking to get involved the linesman will not put up his flag
15:52the linesman will not put up his flag and Brazil have a two-goal lead
16:00Holland
16:04are ready to collect their tickets for going home
16:06for going home
16:14over Mars
16:20Yonk
16:22the
16:29the
16:30spirit of
16:31Troif
16:32Nayskens
16:33Root Kroll
16:34and company
16:35to be found
16:36on the modern Dutch side
16:37here's Dennis Bergkamp to whom they look the most
16:39he scores
16:40brilliantly taken
16:44wonderful for the game great for the Dutch
16:51the sea of orange waves around the stadium
17:01absolutely vital that Holland got a goal back as quickly as that
17:05Brazil still I think thinking about that second goal celebrated went to sleep on the throw in a quick throw
17:11it bounced its way through
17:13it bounced its way through
17:14the defender sold himself Bergkamp stayed on his feet just tucked it calmly in the far post
17:20and Ronald de Boer
17:24the forward playing of the two twins waiting his moment to come on
17:32and they're bringing off Frank Reichard as we look again at the fine finish by Bergkamp
17:39number 3
17:41Bergkamp
17:47two wide in the middle
17:55Roy Bergkamp
17:57this is Binta
17:58Bergkamp
17:59good start
18:00Bergkamp
18:01Bergkamp
18:03He was keen to try and get back outside
18:10Jorginho
18:10And it's a certainly shifted
18:17Vento now back on the pitch
18:20Zinho
18:26Zinho
18:35It's been a much better second half
18:36Vento hitting the ball well
18:37Going to creep inside that post
18:39Isn't it Taffarel at full stretch
18:41Vimionk
18:44Dennis Bergkamp
18:47Well out
18:49Gets for the return
18:50Goes for the right foot
18:51It hit Marcio Santos
18:53And it's a corner
18:54The Dutch thought it hit the hand
18:56Of Marcio Santos
18:58And Bergkamp
19:00Breathing down somebody's neck
19:03He must give him a haircut
19:05Who's from the Dutch supporters
19:11Who feel they've had the rough edge
19:12Of two decisions
19:13Taffarel nowhere near it
19:17Vento was
19:18It's 2-2
19:19What a turnaround
19:28And all credit to the Dutch
19:31The only question is
19:34Why didn't they start like this?
19:38Taffarel there
19:39Six yard header for me
19:41The cross comes over
19:44Vento deserved a goal
19:45If you see as he's curling in
19:47With the right foot
19:49Where he eventually heads in
19:51Gets in front of his marker
19:52Taffarel in no man's land
19:54Groping in thin air
19:55Goalkeeping air
19:59Nowhere near the ball
20:01Goalkeeper really
20:04Taffarel was standing still
20:06He wasn't coming to attack the ball
20:07He was waiting to see what would happen
20:09Vento's have an excellent second half
20:16So versatile
20:17Right back
20:17That he's pushed further into midfield
20:19Got away from his marker
20:20And a comfortable header in the end
20:22He's finally been released
20:25Branko
20:27For the free kick
20:29Guided over
20:34Supremely well struck
20:36No matter the distance
20:41No just a little bit
20:43Was very well watched
20:44Marcio Santos comes forward
20:52Jorginho
20:55Mezzinho
20:59Before this match
21:03Brazil the conceded
21:04Just the one goal
21:07Scored seven
21:08Got it to nine one
21:11Conceded two
21:13To make this one all square
21:14Vicka
21:20Koeman
21:23Offside
21:25Not so much I think against Vicka
21:28As against
21:28Brown Roy down the middle
21:30The second half
21:32I think has
21:33Developed into the game
21:34We thought it would be
21:35Substitution to be made
21:38Marzinho
21:39Is the player
21:40Withdrawn
21:41And the man who came here
21:44Is the Brazilian captain
21:45Roy
21:47Oliveira
21:48Paris Saint-Germain
21:51Gets back into the action
21:54Branko will take the free kick
21:57That he won
21:57Requesting
21:59Player number 17
22:01Marzinho
22:02Par again
22:05Oh
22:05Wonderful strike
22:08Well the manner in which
22:19He won the free kick
22:20Was hugely questionable
22:21The way in which he took the free kick
22:24Bunker only in my
22:25Absolute
22:27Blockbuster
22:28It was a great strike
22:30But he's hit it
22:31To the side of the wall
22:32The wall looking round and saying
22:34Well where is the goalkeeper
22:35It's gone between those two
22:36But it's the side
22:37The goalkeeper
22:38Diuhi is standing
22:39And the players on the outfield
22:41Would always say
22:42That should be the goalkeeper
22:43To save that
22:44That's not taken away
22:46How well he'd struck the shot though
22:48Just
22:51Inside the post
22:52Away from the fingers
22:54Of Ed Dehuy
22:55Brazil
22:56Back in front
22:57They're in the 82nd minute
23:01Cuba
23:10Bautis
23:23Diuhi
23:26Can now only watch
23:28And hope that his countrymen
23:30Can once again come back
23:31And it's not beyond
23:33The bounds of possibility
23:35Away by Rahee
23:41Kuma
23:44Bautis right
23:47Roy left
23:48Ball too long
23:49Place in the semi-final
23:54At stake
23:54The Brazilians
24:00Have been waiting
24:01For success
24:02Since 1970
24:03Hebeto
24:09Romario
24:12The most theatrical dive yet
24:15By the Brazilians
24:16And we've seen a few of them
24:17Referee waves away
24:20And out come Holland
24:21With Birdcap
24:22Set them right
24:23And they got caught here
24:24Not a good ball to Roy
24:26That looks so threatening
24:33There didn't it
24:34Four men up
24:34This is the penalty incident
24:37Just falling over
24:38Bautis and Romario
24:40Looking for the penalty
24:41At a late stage
24:43In the game
24:43Substitution will be made
24:46Just to take away
24:48The Dutch rhythm
24:49Picks the head
24:51Until Branko
24:52Won the free kick
24:53Comes off looking
24:55As though he's injured
24:56I can tell you
24:56He walks like that
24:57Most of the time
24:58He gets great applause
25:04From the Brazilian
25:06Following
25:06Handshakes all around
25:08He thinks he's scored
25:10The winner
25:10Holland still
25:13Have the chance
25:14To make him think again
25:16Jorginho
25:19Malukz
25:21Has to improvise
25:23As he got ahead of his man
25:24Just knocked out of play
25:25By Mara Silva
25:25There's quite a lot of
25:26Stoppage time
25:27The referee should be
25:27Allowing here
25:28Coming to the end
25:30Of the first minute of it
25:31This is Birdcap
25:34In the pass
25:36Doesn't quite find its man
25:38And Dunga
25:40Just
25:40Bangs the ball away
25:42Throw to De Puy
25:46It's got to be not long
25:50The ball gets a bit of it
25:54But not enough
25:55Matthew shows his versatility
25:58Wanted to get forward
26:01And then remembers the position
26:02Romario is offside
26:04At that time he knew it
26:08That's in front of me
26:15Standing on their seats
26:18And praying
26:20It's not long enough
26:21For the ballets
26:22Offside in fact
26:23Against the defender
26:24Who got forward
26:25There's a second stick away
26:35We've seen
26:35Both sides of this
26:37Brazilian team
26:38Haven't we
26:38The flair
26:39The exciting
26:40Attack in play
26:41Suddenly the uncertainty
26:42When they concede a goal
26:44It allowed Holland
26:45To get all square
26:46Where the game
26:46Almost seemed to be
26:47Slipping away from them
26:48And then suddenly
26:48They conjure up
26:49Another piece of brilliance
26:50And go ahead again
26:51Also seen
26:53Both sides
26:54Of the Dutch team
26:55And sadly for them
26:57They came the wrong way round
26:58Didn't go out
27:01To win the match
27:02And they're going to
27:03End up
27:04Probably by paying the penalty
27:05But it's
27:06Still not certain
27:07Here's Jonk
27:09Does well to get it to Vicka
27:12Five forward
27:14Caperell comes to meet
27:16The ball
27:16Claims it well
27:17Mercury says that
27:20De Boer made a back
27:21For him
27:21Positive goalkeeping
27:36This time
27:36By Taffarell
27:37Koeman
27:40Vicka
27:41Bergkamp
27:45Just jumped at his mind
27:46He wasn't going to get the ball
27:47Over Mars
27:49Back to Vinter
27:51Goal gave such hope
27:53Doesn't reach De Boer
27:56Chased back by Roy
27:58Square is Koeman
28:00Further over is Wim Jong
28:02The old man Valters
28:04Comes into it
28:05Tries to play it early
28:06Doesn't play it well
28:07Taken by Cafu
28:09But it came off his hands
28:11Surely the last chance
28:17For Holland this
28:17Seven players in attacking positions
28:24Seven players in attacking positions
28:24Koeman is just to the right
28:27But it's going to be played in
28:29By Jonk
28:30Bergkamp doesn't even get off the ground
28:33Vicka
28:34Mara Silva just wants to knock it long
28:40Just did enough then to force over Mars
28:43To play it back to his goalkeeper
28:44Brazilians in the crowd
28:46Want the final whistle
28:47They've all moved up
28:48The linesman waiting on the far side
28:49For offside
28:50It's not the final whistle
28:51It's quite a reaction of the crowd
28:54Can't stand it
28:59On the bench
29:01They want to celebrate
29:03Dutch all sitting down
29:12Resilience seconds away
29:18From the semi-final
29:20In a match
29:21They won
29:22Then nearly lost
29:24Saved themselves with the free kick
29:27Here's Romario
29:29Took it away from the shot
29:35Absolutely no doubt
29:36That the match was going
29:37Holland's way
29:38Until that free kick by Branca
29:40Another look at the watch
29:44Referee looks at it
29:47Determinedly
29:49But they're not going to persuade him
29:52Only he is going to make the final decision
29:55And he's had a good match
29:57The Dutch saying to him
30:04Allow more stoppage time
30:06The Brazilian drums
30:11Certainly woke us up
30:12About 7 o'clock
30:12This morning
30:13In our hotel
30:14And I've got a feeling
30:15They might keep us awake
30:16This evening as well
30:17And the final whistle
30:25Is blown
30:26And Brazil
30:28Go through
30:29To the semi-finals
30:32Holland
30:33Sad to say
30:34Only have themselves to blame
30:36They came back
30:36Magnificently
30:37From two goals down
30:38But Branco
30:39Is the star
30:41In the lone star state
30:42He took Brazil
30:43To the last four
30:44vágen
30:44To the semi-factor
30:46To the ali
