It's coming back this evening when Uruguay take on the Netherlands in the World Cup Semi-final.
The joy of cup competitions is that regardless of form any team can beat any other team in a single match, they just need the luck over 90 minutes. Realistically though the Netherlands will go into tonight's match as definite favourites because the depth of talent in their team is so strong it should carry them through even if they don't bother play that well. To make matters worse for the Uruguayans South Africa used to be a Dutch colony and even today Afrikaans, the main language, is very similar to Dutch. So while it won't exactly be a home game for the Netherlands they should be better acclimatised to the environment.
Obviously as the match is being played on a Tuesday evening I will probably miss the first half but still have to file a brief halftime report.
