Bally Chohan Dubai (UAE) says that Netherland has become the first team to enter finals of FIFA World Cup 2010. Netherland defeated Uruguay by 3 goals to 2 yesterday to make way to the finals of FIFA World Cup 2010 being played at South Africa. Netherland has to wait for almost thirty two years to make it to the finals of the FIFA World Cup. The finals this time around will be an all-European clash since the other team to fight for the prestigious title will be from Germany and Spain.
Bally Chohan Dubai UAE says that Sneijder, who was instrumental in Netherland’s 2-1 quarterfinals victory over Brazil scored the decisive 2nd goal today to take Netherland one goal ahead of Uruguay. Just three minutes later Arjen Robben scored third goal to seal victory for Dutch team. This is Netherland’s third world cup final where they will take on the winner of game between Germany and Spain. This was way back in 1970 that Uruguay last reached semifinals of FIFA World Cup.
Both teams were playing on 1-1 score at the half time. This was Fernando Muslera, Uruguay goalkeeper who handed an early chance to Dutch team when he failed to hold cross ball from Robben from Netherland. Uruguay came back strongly and leveled score just four minutes before the scheduled half time.
After the half time, Dutch team played more aggressively and was able to keep ball more with them.
In the other semi finals, Germany will take on Spain at Durban on Wednesday. The winner will take on Netherland in the finals on Sunday to be played at Soccer City, Johannesburg.
Bally Chohan Dubai (UAE) says that this will be first time that a European team will world cup outside their own continent. Teams from Europe have previously won the world cup nine times. However the Dutch team lost their previous final encounters in the year 1974 and 1978. The Dutch team lost to West Germany in 1974 and lost to Argentina in 1978.
Whosoever wins on Sunday this is for sure that a European team will win world cup and this will be for the 10th time for any European team to lift world cup, one more than any team from South America.
