Here we go, incredibly lucky to have got that to be honest..

Aboy da Forlan Legend of a footballer, some swerve on that shot

angel01

I take it back

Great goal.

_Bella_

Should have been saved

Stevecw

Diego!!!

Goalkeeper should be hung drawn and quartered

LeeroyJones

So, how about that ball?

amacachi

Fix. Probably not, but that was a horrible mistake from the keeper.

nkay1985

I fcuking love Forlan. Very poor from Stekelenberg though.

ctrl-alt-delete

Keeper could have done better, maybe should....

But that ball was struck with some venom and it did swerve to the right, give Forlan some credit, it was magic how he made the opportunity.

How the hell is van Bommel not booked??

Stevecw

Keeper really should have stopped that. But great to see it back at 1-1. Never gave Uruguay a hope after going behind to be honest!

He should have been sent off against Brazil and has committed at least 2 yellow card offences tonight!! Ridiculous.

_Bella_

At least the third wrong call offside

steelcityblues

Dutch came from behind to win against Brazil, but can see Uruguay doing the same thing here tonight!

_Bella_

Still the Dutch will win it, they have looked the more dangerous by far going foreward.

Really? Neither team have done much going forward apart from 2 screamers at each end. Pretty even half of football really.

ultain

Sneaky goal..:(keeper with a weak hand.

Uruguay have the better defensive game, and if they can get the next one, I think they can see it out much better than the Dutch.

DubDani

Going by todays performance I don't think either of these teams will have a chance in the final, no matter who they play against.

Pretty poor standard for a semi final of the WC.

_Bella_

I foresee Elia coming on soon

redout

Delighted for Uruguay - first half-hour they werent really in it but slowly they crept into it.

G'wan Diego

namloc1980

Actually looking at the replays at half time van Bommel is lucky to be on the pitch after that near leg breaking tackle just before the Dutch goal.

mike65

Van Bommel has laid waste to this World Cup, he'll probably pick up a red in extra time if the Dutch are winning!

He seems to be getting away with some awful tackles - he had a couple against Brazil also.

Karma will bite him in the arse sooner I later.

CorkMan

I think Van Bommel would have made a grand signing for Spurs in the 1960s.

steelcityblues

They are missing de Jong bigtime!

CorkMan

are they saying mispronouncing Cavenaghi? the forward for Uruguay?

Stevecw

Woah that was close, some amount of messing going on with Dutch backs. Van B saved them there

No it's Cavani,

Cavenaghi is argentinian i think.

Cypher_sounds

van persie gets a free kick for diving

Sherifu

Dutch keeper lucky to get away with that badly judged run out.

Unnreal pace from Robben at times.

There was an Italian international by that name a few years ago aswell.

Or perhaps that was Caseraghi (sp) actually.

amacachi

Why's Van Persie still on?

_Bella_

Tempo has picked up a bit

Forlan was free in the centre aswell.

I dont think he has actually done a whole lot in the tournament to be honest.

namloc1980

Dutch are poor at the moment. No flow at all to their game. This is there for the Uruguayans.

Jigga

I reckon this is the 3rd place play off and the real final will be tomorrow night.

Oat23

I'm getting bored now.

Elia please.

My bet is still on though .

_Bella_

Its kinda depressing watching this match that Spain vs Germany isn't the actual final. They both deserve to be finalists over these two teams!

Not really since one of these teams are going to come at least 2nd. But i know what you mean.
