Today's World Cup predictions
Uruguay vs. Netherlands
At Cape Town, 2:30 p.m.
TV: CBC, TLN
Weather: 9C, partly cloudy
The Game: The outlook in Cape Town is a slight chance of rain and a 100 per cent chance of heavy, heavy tactics. Between them, these two teams have allowed only five goals in 10 games. With Luis Suarez on the bench serving a one-match ban, Uruguay is expected to pack the midfield and trust to its potent counter-attack. That midfield battleground will be the game’s key. If Holland can unleash Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder, it will win. If those two men are negated by Uruguay, expect Diego Forlan to pop up at some point with a winner.
Predictions: Cathal Kelly: Uruguay 0, Netherlands 2
Chris Young: Uruguay 1, Netherlands 2
