De Jong, van der Wiel, Fucile and Suarez will be suspended for this game. Should be an interesting match.

No Suarez means Urguay's greatest strength is half gone. Netherlands wins this.

Its a shame guys like Forlan, Veron and Berba didn't work out for my favorite club. They are all my favorite players.

Netherlands is one of the best teams but i dont see their defense being strong, we could have a chance if we defend very well and get some counter attack using Forlan's speed.

Dude I think everyone loves Forlan this cup. I soooo hope they manage to somehow manage the impossible and win.

To bad they dont have Fucile either, he been real solid in the back :(

No Suarez means it's all on Forlan's shoulders.

The Dutch will be heavy favorites. They just don't need Mick Jagger cheering them on and they'll be fine. :lol:

Did you ever watch Mexican soccer? When Abreu went up to take the penalty kick, all I could think of was Abreu missing penalty kicks left and right.
