and what do you have? G.U.N.S!
The big guns are out and blazing.

The Netherlands




The first semi final was between Uruguay and the Netherlands. Uruguay, the only team left representing South America. They faced one of the three European teams, the Netherlands, who are in their best form on the pitch. The match was played out at the gorgeous Green Point stadium, Cape Town.
I got an invite to go watch the match live at the stadium, but had to decline, my mom is experiencing poor health. What a great gesture though, ~Infinite thanks!~

The match got off to a tentative start, until the magnificent goal came from Giovanni Van Bronkhorst for the Dutch. The tempo of the game improved and Diego Forlán equalised for the Uruguains.
The first half ended with both teams on 1-1.

The second half had more action and saw 3 more goals scored. Sneijder softly slipped the ball past Uruguaian goalkeeper, Muslera. The third Dutch goal came in quick succession, a header by Arjen Robben.
Uruguay's biggest hope of coming back into the match, Diego Forlan, was taken off the pitch towards the last minutes of the game.
At 90 minutes Uruguay won a free kick, it was expertly taken and they scored their second goal. The game went into stoppage time and Uruguay was on the attack but the score ended 3-2 and the Dutch going to paint Johannesburg Orange on Sunday 11 July 2010.
It looks like Uruguay missed the goalkeeping skills of Luis Suarez!

Tonight's semi final is between Spain and Germany. Germany have been on fire, with mostly a youthful team. The team has shocked a few naysayyers who didnt think the team would go far without the expertise of experienced players like Michael Ballack. But the young players in the squad took the spotlight and shone, Podolski was a revelation!
Will coach, Joachim Loew, come out triumphant against the Spaniards?

Spain
Spain didnt start their world cup campaign on the right foot, with a loss to Switzerland, but they came back and showed their class by ending at the top of their group log.
On their journey to the semis, they beat Paraguay and sent Portugal packing home.
The team has big names in Torres, Fabregas and Villa.


Fabregas

David Villa is a contender for this year's golden boot and will surely add another goal to his tally against Germany tonight.

The 2010 World Cup final is set to be an all European affair!
