FIFA World Cup 2010

Venue: Cape Town  

With the fixture of such a great match in the semi finals of the world cup, a Netherlands vs Uruguay Match Preview is indispensable. The match is to be held on the 6th of July at the new Green Point Stadium in Cape Town. Though it’s not really a match that anybody expected, it surely is just as high profiled as any other match would have been.

Both the teams have shown quite a performance in the world cup so far. The Netherlands is on a roll following their last performance against the Brazilians; even after trailing by a goal they fought back in the second half to clinch a 2-1 victory against the Samba Boys. The accomplishment has boosted the team’s confidence considerably as Robben puts it “We’re in the last four and we know we’re capable of reaching the Final”. But all this confidence has not made them reckless, as their coach Bert Van Marwijk is very wary of their next match and says “We’ve already seen a lot of Uruguay, It will be a very dangerous match”.

The Netherlands v/s Uruguay Match Preview will elaborate about the mindset of the Uruguayan team for their challenging match against the ‘Oranje’ team as well. Uruguay entered the semis by defeating the last African contender Ghana. The match against the black stars was a very close one going into extra-time and then ended in penalty shoot outs. In the process Luis Suarez’s hand-ball proved oddly decisive for the Ghanaians, he received a red card and will not be able to play in his next match against the Dutch. La Celeste team is fighting hard to revive their glory years which are but a fading memory for the world, the last time the men in blue managed to clear the round of sixteen was in 1970 in Mexico.

The Dutch have faced tougher challenges in the world cup till now; Uruguay on the other hand has yet to face the toughest teams of the world cup, having faced a challenge only in the form of Korea and Ghana since group stages.

Expected outcome:

The Dutch team is considered to be a stronger team with veterans such as Arjen Robben on their side. Uruguay has only just managed to win in their last 2 matches and now that Suarez is out for this match it would be quite a challenge for the last South American team to move into the final says our Netherlands vs Uruguay Match Preview

FIFA World Cup 2010

Venue: Nelson Mandela Bay/Port Elizabeth

Netherlands vs Brazil Match Preview is done to get the most out of this upcoming match on the 2nd of June at Port Elizabeth. Now that the world cup has reached the quarter final stage the competition can only get tougher and out of these many great teams only a few shall have the rite of passage to the semis.

The Dutch team which is being seen in the world cup for the 8th time since 1930 has reached the finals twice but unfortunately, failed to win the cup both times. And this time again the ‘Oranje’ have displayed great resilience in their play so far, they topped their group and then went on to challenge Slovakia in the round of 16 at Durban. In Durban, the Dutch defeated the Slovaks by 2 goals to 1 thanks to return of their star player Arjen Robben. Bert van Marwijk, Netherlands coach was delighted with Robben’s return to the team “It’s obviously fantastic to have Robben come back after injury and show that he’s already fit enough to be scoring that kind of goal”. Netherlands v/s Brazil Match Preview will shows that for their next match against Brazil the Dutch need to perform better than ever before.

And not without reason did Marwijk say “Against Brazil, perhaps we might be the underdogs for the first time in South Africa”. The Brazilians have featured in all 19 world cups to date and are the only team to have won the coveted showpiece a record 5 times. The Brazilian lineup is studded with star players like Kaka and Fabiano who have been in the best of forms this world cup. None the less the match against the Dutch is the toughest they have yet to face and coach Dunga knows this, he said “We know the Netherlands are a very difficult team to beat and they are very able technically, we’ve got another decisive match ahead”

Expected Outcome:

Even though the Netherlands has played amazing football, they have yet to face a real challenge. And given Brazil’s great legacy we would expect Brazil to do the same this time as well and give us a great match.

But unlike before elimination of even a good team at this stage would not mean that the competition may become dull on the contrary the excitement will only intensify, this can be seen by our Netherlands vs Brazil Match Preview.

Brazil So Far in the FIFA World Cup

It was a bit of a nervous looking Brazil that took the field for their opening game against little fancied North Korea, who ended up matching them for most of the ninety minutes. And in fact it was nearly an hour into the match before Brazil broke the deadlock with a goal from Maicon. Elano added a second shortly afterwards but North Korea still had some fight left in them as shown by Ji Yun Nam pulling one back with a minute to go.

The second match showed the Brazil fans were more familiar with, full of skill and passion and cruising to a 3-0 lead over Côte d’Ivoire with a brace from the talented Luis Fabiano and a third from Elano. Didier Drogba grabbed a consolation goal for the Ivory Coast but it was too little too late. Brazil had two wins in a row and a guaranteed place in the Round of 16.

What a shame therefore that Brazil’s final match against Portugal was such a disappointment with yellow cards and unsporting behaviour dominating over ability. The 0-0 scoreline reflected a dire match.

Chile So Far in the FIFA World Cup

Chile did not exactly come out of the traps running as they only managed a 1-0 win in their opening game against the group’s weakest team Honduras, Jean Beausejour scoring the only goal after half an hour’s play. But despite the low score, Chile were already showing some of the class that was set to take them though to the last 16.

Switzerland were always going to be a tougher task, especially after they’d beaten Spain in their opening game. The Swiss adopted spoiler tactics and looked like it was going to work until substitute Mark Gonzalez gave Chile the win with the only goal of the match with just fifteen minutes to go.

Chile started off their last match against Spain by dominating the opening twenty minutes but then a rash decision by goalkeeper Claudio Bravo to come out his area to make an unnecessary clearance ended up with Spain’s David Villa guiding a long range shot into an empty net. Spain’s Andres Iniesta added another before half time but worse for Chile was that the move earned Marco Estrada a second yellow and reducing them to ten men for the rest of the game. Estrada will now miss the Brazil match as will Waldo Ponce and Gary Medel, also suspended after picking up a yellow in the Spain game. Chile did pull one back just after half time through Rodrigo Millar but the news filtered through from the other game and both teams realised that 2-1 to Spain would see both through and thus Chile left Spain alone to pass the ball around in their own half for most of the final half hour.

Football Betting Odds For Brazil vs Chile

Football betting tips: Early odds put Brazil clear favourites with 1/2 or 4/9 on offer for a win on ninety minutes with Chile outsiders at 5/1 or 11/2. The draw is not really fancied either with 11/4 or 3/1 available.
