Holland were as far from the gilded generation of Cruyff, Neeskens, Krol and Rensenbrink as Dunga's Brazil were from the team of Pelé, Gérson, Tostão and Clodoaldo.

Spain beats Paraguay in World Cup action
The Associated Press
The ball fell to Villa in the area after Pedro Rodriguez hit the post. The Spain striker took one touch before curling a shot that hit both posts before going in.
Villa's tournament-leading fifth goal set up a semifinal match against Germany in Durban on Wednesday.
Paraguay's defence mostly kept Spain's vaunted attack at bay, and both teams' best chance to win in normal time came from the penalty spot.
Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas saved a 59th-minute penalty kick by Oscar Cardozo before Paraguay captain Justo Villar matched him from a retaken effort by Xabi Alonso two minutes later.
