Lady Luck continues to show up in oranje as the Dutch benefit from a borderline offside goal and hang on to beat a resilient Uruguay. Despite missing their potent second striker Luis Suarez, captain Nicolas Lodeiro, and fullback Jorge Fucile, the Uruguayans gave Holland everything they could handle. Forlan turned in another brilliant performance. Again the Netherlands do just enough to win and advance to the WC Final for the first time since 1978. They are 6-0-0 in the tournament yet one gets a sense they will have to raise their game if they're to beat Spain or Germany to lift the cup.
