The semifinal match's score, Uruguay vs. Netherlands, was 2-3, respectively. The Dutch overpowered the Uruguayans, and clinched the spot for the finals, where they will face either Germany or Spain for the World Cup. Netherlands is now ranked 4th in the world after they defeated Brazil 2-1, and the Dutch now get to take a break and watch the showdown that determines which team will be their opponent in the final. This second semifinal match will happen tomorrow at 2:15pm.
At 90 minutes, Netherlands had a 2 goal lead, but in extra time, Uruguay scored a late goal. Although this goal lifted the hopes of the Uruguayan players and fans, they did not have what it took to equalize the undefeated Dutch. This is the first time the Dutch have advanced to the finals in the World Cup since 1978.
I hope the winner of the Germany and Spain match-up will win, because I really like both those teams, and I think Germany has played very well this World Cup.
We will see! :)
