I watched the beginning of the Netherlands vs Slovakia match today and have to say that this is an apt descriptive. That is what they are saying on the ESPN site. Orange Crush. The Dutch really took them to town. I did not see it all but the beginning was well...good for the orange crush. I really dig their uniform color too...and why too...for William of Orange, very cool that. I want one of those jackets!

I could only catch a few minutes of the Brazil-Chile match (it was 0-0 and looked even when I was watching) but it seems like it was pretty decisive there. Feel free to comment with thoughts and impressions.

Brazil 3 Chile 0

Over and done there. I will catch that on the replay tonight, I hope. Got to see that one.

Here is an interesting little tidbit. Venus Williams was booed at Wimbledon today. She showed up 10 minutes late to a match (that is very late at a tournament like this) and was booed by the crowd gathered there on Court Two. Here is the story:

http://sports.yahoo.com/tennis/blog/busted_racquet/post/Venus-shows-up-10-minutes-late-for-match-gets-b?urn=ten,251957

She says she did not know where to go but most call it pour gamesmanship. She was peeved that she did not get centre court and was making a not so subtle point. I have to agree with the latter. The girl knows her way around Wimbledon; has won a few times and played doubles a lot and played matches on that specific court. Saying that she did not know where to go, well seems, a bit of a lie really.

She won no friends in the stands today and though she won in a two set match, that was not the best way to start that match...like a total brat. People do things like--take too long on transitions and play with time in tennis matches but it is poor sportsmanship...

So that is that and just a bit from the lawn in England. American acting badly. Oh well.
