The Dutch made it to only third final in their history after defeating a gallant Uruguay side by a 3-2 margin. Goals from Giovanni Van Bronckhorst, Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben ensured that a late goal from Maximiliano Pereira was a mere consolation for the South American side. Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk will hope that the spirit his side have shown throughout this World Cup will hold them in good stead at the final hurdle.

Meanwhile Spain finally hit great form against Germany as they ground the German juggernaut to a stuttering stop to seal a 1-0 win and make it to the first ever World Cup final in their footballing history. Carlos Puyol was the goal scoring hero for Spain who lived up to their pre-tournament billing as the favorites to lift the Fifa World Cup. Spanish boss Vicente del Bosque has a decision to make about his strike force and may choose to start with Fernando Torres for this one.
