Both of these teams came from a goal down to book their place in the World Cup semi-finals, but which team will be featuring at Soccer City on 11th July?
The answer is probably the Netherlands, who finally demonstrated their true potential with a second-half performance against Brazil full of attacking intent and tough tackling. They will once again approach this match looking to keep
things tight in the early stages before forcing a breakthrough.
Perhaps this is a bridge too far for a Uruguayan team who have had a fortunate draw to reach this stage of the competition. They sat back against South Korea to nearly get punished and the Ghanaians should have punished Luis Suarez for his
handball on the line.
Suarez will be suspended for this match and, with Diego Lugano looking like missing out, the Dutch should find the net once or twice as they bid to win the World Cup for the first time.
PREDICTION: NETHERLANDS TO WIN 1-0

Power Rating
Holdet: 3/5
Great attack allied to a more than passable defence. It is just a pity that Uruguay don't possess a midfielder of true, creative flair (this needs to be translated to Danish).
Mannschaft: 4/5
Es fehlt das rohe Talent aus den guten alten Zeiten, aber das Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühl des Teams ist stärker als bei den meisten anderen Mannschaften.
Træner: 4/5
Oscar Tabarez is known as El Maestro in his native Montevideo and he has the ability to conjure something that Uruguayan football has not seen for 40 years - a decent run in a Word Cup (this needs to be translated to Danish).
Trainer: 3/5
Das einzige Problem rundum Bert van Marwijk ist, dass seine Erfolgserlebnisse (mit Ausnahme des Uefa Cups vor acht Jahren) sehr unbeeindruckend sind.
Angreb: 4/5
On paper few teams possess a partnership as lethal as that between Diego Forlan and Luis Suarez. If they can keep their heads - and that is a big if - they could create something special (this needs to be translated to Danish).
Angriff: 3.5/5
Mit der Annahme, dass Van Persie leistungsbereit ist, steht Holland ein breites Spektrum an Mittelfeldspielern und Stürmern zur Verfügerung, obwohl sie sich vielleicht zu stark von Huntelaar abhängig machen, der leider kaum für seinen eigenen Club gespielt hat.
Forsvar: 2..5/5
Gritty and effective, the way Lugano and Co will defend their 18-yard line will not be a thing of beauty. But no defender enjoys playing in front of a goalkeeper they don't know and don't really trust and that may be the case with Muslera (this needs to be translated to Danish).
Verteidigung: 3.5/5
Diejenigen, die diese Mannschaft während der Qualifikation in Amsterdam und Rotterdam spielen sehen konnten, haben gesehen, dass die hinteren vier Verteidiger keinen einziges Tor zuliessen. Dennoch bestehen Zweifel ob sie wirklich das Zeug zum Bestehen eines wirklich harten Entscheidungsspiels haben.
