Very Quick Semifinal Predictions

My poor life decision of buying FIFA World Cup South Africa for my PS3 has resulted in an unhealthy addiction to a video game I have not experienced in quite a few years. As a result of said addiction, I really did not have time to fully predict the games like I had hoped to. Regardless, I know you all want to be spoiled as to who will play for the World Championship, so I will tell you what the results will be.

Netherlands 2, Uruguay 1: A Suarez-less Uruguay will spell their doom. Diego Forlan will be able to muster 1 goal and the Uruguayan defense (consisting of Philadelphia's favorite soccer player, the Flyin' Uruguayan Mauricio Victorino) will hold the Dutch in check for the most part, but a break through from Robben and a goal from Dirk Kuyt will be enough to send the Netherlands to the World Cup Finals for the first time since 1978.

Germany 3, Spain 1: Germany may be without Thomas Muller, but this is one of the most dangerous and exciting counter-attacking teams I have seen in the past 2 World Cups. They are down right nasty and despite his lack of production in club play, Miroslav Klose is a deadly striker when he puts on the German kit. The Germans may be without Muller, but as far as Spain goes, nothing I have seen from them has impressed me that much. They are a passing team and they have done that well, but defensively they have had lapses that their past 2 opponents failed to capitalize on and offensively, the only player that can score is David Villa. The German back line is their weakest point and incredibly they have conceded more shots in their past 2 blowout wins than they actually put on themselves, but they have been good enough to get the job done. And with only 1 of Spain's offensive threats showing up for this World Cup, there is a good chance Germany will be good enough to contain Spain while once again unleashing their deadly counter attack. Villa gets a 6th goal in 2010, but Klose will surpass Ronaldo and Ozil will bury the dagger late in the game to send Germany to the finals to give us a Dutch vs. Deutsch final.
