WORLD CUP-LATEST PREDICTIONS TUESDAY 6 JULY

SEMI-FINAL

Uruguay v Holland

This semi-final guarantees that, for the first time since 1978, a team outside the 'Big Five' of Brazil, Germany, Italy, Argentina and France will be in the World Cup Final. The absence of Luis Suarez following his goal line handball against Ghana tips this one heavily in favour of the Dutch for me. Since Holland's last appearance in a major final - Euro 88 - they have lost four semi-finals, in the World Cup in 1998 and in the European Championships in 1992, 2000 and 2004. It's about time they won one, and I think they will.

MATCH PREDICTION: Uruguay 0-2 Holland
