Cammpenoes. Photo from Getty Images and Fifa.com Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, tu gañas: Photo from Getty Images and FIFA.com Oh yes. Indeed. Primero Copa mundial. U2'S "Get On Your Boots": And K'Naaan's "Wavin Flag: The lineups : Spain: Castillas; Capdevilla, Puyol, Pique, Ramos; Busquets, Alonso, Iniesta, Xavi, Pedro; Villa Netherlands: Stekelenburg; Van der Wiel, Mathijsen, Hetinga, Van Bronchkorst; De Jong, Van Bommel, Robben, Sneijder, Kuyt; Van Persie 1st Half Analysis: Photo from Getty Images and Fifa.com Spain showed their class in the beginning, and Stekelenburg made another big save in this tournament, denying Ramos the crucial first goal. Ramos also was bright getting past Mathijsen, only for Heitinga to be timely. After that, Spain could never find the cutting edge. Pedro showed his class, but could never find Villa, as his future teammate at Barcelona could never find the space up top and had to come back in the midfield out righ...

Photo from Getty Images and FIFA.com What a great game that was folks. They survived a game with Boulahouz in defense and a mistake from Stekelenburg. To be honest, it is a shame for Uruguay, for they were valiant in defeat. The full review is here . And Man of the Match could have been a few, but Sneijder, as the catalysts, deserves it: The full match review of the first semifinal, a really fun quality game pleasing on the eye folks. The lineups : Uruguay: Muslera, M.Pereira, Godin, Victorino, Caceras, A.Pereira, Rios, Gargano, Perez, Forlan, Cavini Netherlands: Stekelenburg; Boulahourz, Heitinga, Mathijsen, Van Bronchrost, de Zeeuw, van Bommel, Kuyt, Snejider, Robben, van Persie Prediction: Big key to get Godin back, but the loss of Suarez has more on an effect on Forland today, as he will have to work extra hard. Still, it is easier without De Jong there to knock him off all over the field today. And with Boulahouz in the lineup, I think uruguay will get a goal some...

Photo from Getty Images and FIFA.com Final Analysis: Width, width, width, spacing, spacing, spacing. So key in the game of soccer, and especially for an offensive team like the Dutch. And that was the difference in that 2nd half. Elia just gave them much needed space, but painfully unlucky from an otherwise very sound and structured Danish defense today. They did real well, especially the very unlucky Simon Paulsen, who's Erediviste level of play at AZ Alkmaar really helped today against the Dutch. Back to Holland, and for me, if Robben isn't able to go in the next match (which he is slated to return), then Elia for me has to start instead of Van der Vaart. He won't dift in the middle like the Real Madrid man tends to do too much and get in the way of Wesley Sneijder. And please, as I will say again, even with his groin injury, Nick Bendtner, can finish the middle level difficult chances that you get? Your finishing is so medicore that it even rubbed off of Van Pers...

Photo from AFP Really starting to feel this World Cup is cursed. Especially if you play or did play for Chelsea : A stunning second-half fightback saw the Netherlands run out comfortable 6-1 winners over Hungary in their final 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ warm-up at the Amsterdam ArenA. The victory came at a cost with Arjen Robben forced from the action with a left hamstring injury, leaving Bert van Marwijk to hope the injury jinx that has struck so many of his big-name players this week will not include the Bayern Munich winger. Robben is due to undergo a scan tomorrow, and the Oranje coach was downbeat about the situation after the match. "I would rather lose this match and have Arjen stay fit," said Van Marwijk. "He felt a sharp pain. That does not bode well. But I do not lose hope." Now it appears the injury does not appearing as World Cup ending as Drogba's, Ferdinand's, Ballack's, Essien's, Mikel's and maybe Pirlo's. But it...
