Should be an easy match for the Dutch I'd say...1-0.

Luckily Suarez is out so he can't cause any k@k as usual :p

I absolutely love the Oranje but I know them. Won't be surprised if they bomb outta this one but I hope that's the Netherlands of the past.

As usual I ain't giving predictions.

This must be one of their best chances too be honest - they really are looking like a fluid team. I think it will significantly help them if Spain beat Germany.
 
Well they most certainly haven't been playing their best football but they've been grinding out the results which is positive. No van der Wiel or De Jong is concering but they've got the depth to overcome it.
 
Dutch only have to watch out for Forlan. If we can keep him quiet the game's in the bag :)
 
Uruguay will have 2 regular players out and Lugano might be injured still, Netherlands only have VDW suspended I think.
I think Uruguay have it in them to score at least one goal therefore they could pose a threat.
Netherlands 2-1 Uruguay
 
I'm watching in the hope of seeing Uruguay walked all over and expelled from the WC

Yeah here's hoping that won't happen tonight. Although in van Marwijk I think they've found a coach that keeps them a lot more grounded and focused. There's been none of the infighting or scandals that usually affect the team at every tournament. And with the much more structured playing patterns I think they're not as vulnerable as they've been in the past. Even if you look back at the celebrated wins over Italy and France at Euro2008, there were many chances given away and the results could have been very different. For most of this world cup (except for the 1st half against Brazil), Oranje has looked pretty much in control and it's never looked like they were going to lose.

That said, I'd love to see one game where the cut loose, play some of the beautiful football we know they can and score lots of goals :)
 
Come on Wes. Two more good performance and you will clinch that world player award.
 
the cheating moffo's will eb lucky to get onto the score sheet, the dutch by any number of goals as long as the other useless sods are out fo the WC
