SEMI 1- Netherlands v Uruguay 6:30am 7/7 SS2, Tv1

I tipped them to be the surprise team of the cup in the prediction thread....and Holland to win it.

I thought this might be a talking point. IMO it's in the same category as a reckless tackle but maybe more serious as his foot came in contact with de Zeeuw's head. Seen worse reds given but I'm glad the ref gave a yellow so the game wasn't marred by it.TopLeft072010-07-07 17:53:32

Reasonably entertaining game.  Disappointed to see Uruguay go but I think Forlan has been simply fantastic all tournament.  Quality player.  His strike against Senegal many years ago certainly not a one off by any means.

If Paul the Octopus is right then I hope the Dutch win their first cup.  If, however, Paul get's it wrong then I think Germany can outmuscle the Dutch.
