Netherlands 3:2 Uruguay

Netherlands vs Uruguay

World Cup Semifinal, 20h30
Both teams had a very good tournament so far. The Netherlands have won all their games in the competition. Coach Bert van Marwijk assembled a team that is feared by everyone. They managed to come from behind and beat Brasil by 2-1 in the Quarterfinal stage. That proved the hunger for success that one can find in the Oranje camp. With a win tonight, it will be their first World Cup Final since 1978. That team is said to be one of the best in football, lead by the great Johan Crujff.
Watch for the likes of Robben, Snejder and van Persie.
Uruguay have their self a pedigree in this competition. They've won it twice and played another final, but all of those achievements came early in football history.
They won the WC in 1930 and 1950. The Final they lost was back in 1970.
Qualifying to the Semifinal stage came at a huge price. They've lost Luis Suarez through suspension. He handled the ball which was going into the net in the dying seconds of the game against Ghana. The opponents eventualy missed the penalty. Suarez and Forlan are the best assets this team posesses. That's why I think tonight the Netherlands will keep the attacking threat posed by Uruguay at bay.
I tip the Netherlands to progress to the Final, at 5/11.
