    I think it became 4' after the goal, plus the extra wasted time at the end when the Dutch thought it was over.

    Really dislike van bommel now. Constant late challenges through out the world cup and the end of this match just reinforced it. He clearly extends his cleat but whiffed on that American football tackle he made up 3 - 1. And it cost his team a goal on the set piece from it.

    Looks to me like that 2nd Dutch goal was onside. He was even.

    I was trying to root for Netherlands, but just could not. Van Bommel is a fouling machine; he should be given a red card. Robben's been consistently diving , flopping, which I found quite annoying and overshadowing his occasional brilliant touches.

    Congratulations, though I don't think you guys played well today compared to the game against Brazil.

    Great game today, I don't really understand taking Forlan out toward the end; he was obviously Uruguay's creator on offense and they could have used him in that chaotic stoppage time.

    I also thought the second Dutch goal was offside. The linesman had a few questionable calls today, but that one changed the complexion of the game and really took the steam out of Uruguay's attack.

    I'm not the biggest Dutch fan, especially with how much they've relied on unnecessary flopping, but if it's them against Germany, I'm pulling for Holland. I want somebody new to get a star on their jersey.

    Forlan was injured. Actually he had been playing hurt from the beginning according to his coach, but at that point he was too hurt to continue. I thought the second goal was a 50/50 call... perhaps some argument could be made, but it's far from being the most controversial offside call of this world cup. And Uruguay have absolutely no grounds to complain about a call after cheating their way into the semifinals.

    That will be a great final. As much as I like Spain I will still say that would be a better matchup. Both teams are hot as hell and ripping through the opposition.

    I'd rather see Spain just because I think both of those countries are overdue for a star and it would be great to see which team finally breaks the long jinx.

    Yo WTF???? I thought the Holland-Uruguay game would be tomorrow!

    awwwwwwwww shiiieeeeeeezz! Do they have replays? I hope they'll show the game again later.

    Anyways, I'm surprised Uruguay got 2 goals. I thought it would've been a 3-0 or 2-0.... 3-1 at the most.

    C'mon Germany! Make the finals and take care of the Netherlands.
