TEAM NEWS

Uruguay will definitely be without suspended duo Luis Suarez and Jorge Fucile. Suarez was sent off for handling Dominic Adiyiah's goal-bound header in the quarter-final win over Ghana, while Fucile earned his second yellow card of the tournament in that match. Creative midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro has been ruled out of the tournament with a broken foot, while captain Diego Lugano is struggling with a knee injury.

Netherlands striker Robin van Persie has been cleared to face Uruguay following a hospital scan on an elbow injury. Defender Joris Mathijsen will also return from a knee injury. Gregory van der Wiel and Nigel de Jong are suspended.

yours wasn't/isn't official.

I want Holland to win, I have them winning in my pool ... but I think this is going to be a good game and I am looking forward to that

They ave a player called fucl?!!!

Fuck me, they're handling the ball already!

Thriker!

Noolie...i can't believe you made me post this in the unofficial thread first...cock. Now i have to repeat myself. I'm like CARL. posting thrice to get my point across like some old bitter broken brit.

Fantastic start for the Dutch...what a cracking goal the LB for Holland. I can hardly believe they count a goal like that considering a fullback scored it. i mean, just...yknow...sayin.

*winkl*

Good strike by Forlan, but the goalie.......oops

I thought it was the ball he had to stop ;-)

Quite a decent 1st half. I was expecting Holland to boss this but it's been the opposite way around. Uruguay have harried and pressed Holland into little mistakes and then caught them napping a few times. I can see Holland coming back strong in the 2nd half though and if they score, will run out winners. If they don't I can see Uruguay getting stronger and more confident, nicking it close to the end.

Is Lahm playing tonight?!

Please don't start that again, i don't think i can take much more.

GOAL

Uruguay 1-2 Holland

Why would Tyldesley think that was offside? If that was Rooney he'd be creaming himself.

Whooooo, game over.

GOAL!!!!

Uruguay 1-3 Holland

well thats game over now

3-1 game over

What a football this Holland side plays. If only they had better centerbacks and they might actually win on sunday.
