Today's semi-final was Uruguay vs. Netherlands, and it was going to be an absolutely incredible game. And it was. It began with an absolute screamer from captain Giovanni van Bronckhorst, as he struck the ball straight into the top right corner from near enough the touchline. Just a beautiful strike of the ball. Diego Forlan then followed it up for Uruguay with 5 minutes to go in the first half with a beautifully struck shot from the edge of the box, to make it 1-1. And half time obviously worked better for Holland, as after the break, they came out the sharper, and on 70 minutes, Wesley Sneijder scored a somewhat-controversial goal, as he curled the ball round Robin van Persie, who was stood in an offside position. Arjen Robben then made it 3-1, after putting the ball in the net from a wonderful header. Maxi Perreira scored in injury time to make it 3-2, and make it a little bit more tense, but the Netherlands held on to become the first team to reach the World Cup final, for the first time since 1978.
