Oranje Crush

The Dutch have reached the World Cup Finals for the first time since 1978 with their 3-2 victory over Uruguay in todays semi-finals match-up. Goals by Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben and captain Giovanni Van Bronckhorst powered the Dutch over a feisty Uruguay team who got goals from star Diego Forlan and Maxi Pereria. The game was level at 1 at the half but the Dutch scored twice in a span of 4 minutes to seemingly put the game away however Uruguay wasn't done yet. Pereria's goal 2 minutes in to injury time made things very interesting. After that strike, Uruguay had a flurry of chances but couldn't connect on a clean shot before the clock ran out on their Cinderella story. The Dutch will go for their first world cup victory on Sunday against either Spain or Germany. The Dutch have been in the finals twice before but both times they were playing the host country. If Spain advances tomorrow it will ensure that a new name goes on the World Cup as neither Spain nor the Netherlands have won a World Cup. Amsterdam will be partying until Sunday and the when they play in their third finals and go for their first win.
