And then, there were four. Tomorrow's semifinal between Uruguay and the Netherlands is a tough one to call. The Dutch are riding the momentum from knocking Brazil out of the tournament while Uruguay is in their first semifinal since 1954 and looking to fight their way into the final. Welcome Ms. FootyNut for the predictions.
Ms FootyNut: My how I've been failing at this predictions game. This is going to be tough! The Netherlands had an epic win against Brazil. After their game against Ghana, Uruguay just highlight how ruthless they are. I say Netherlands just because they've never won a World Cup and they deserve to.
FootyNut: The Netherlands recent win over Brazil is as big as motivators come. If the Dutch can't channel a result like that to push themselves into a final against Spain or Germany, then nothing will. Count on Kuyt, Roben and Sneijder to counter Forlan's prolific performance. The Dutch may have some continuing issues with the center of their defense, but I see Uruguay's run ending here and the Netherlands progressing to the final.
Uruguay vs. Netherlands
