I see Netherlands cruising to the finals. Uruguay looked overmatched against Ghana, and have an extra 30 minutes of grueling labor on their tired legs. To make matters worse, they're headed into today's game without one of their best players, Luis Suarez — he of sacrificial handballs.
Uruguay will look for Forlan on attack. The former Manchester United striker has had a revelatory tournament. And his whole team arguably deserves a spot in the finals on the basis of their pluck.
But ultimately, I think the Dutch team is just too talented and too deep for the South Americans. They could conceivably be in danger of looking beyond Uruguay at a massive all-Euro final, but I don't expect that. I predict a 2–0 win for the Oranje.
