Uruguay vs. Nederlands. Expectations vs. Confidence.
by Milota Sidorova

Uruguay team is facing Nederlands this evening in the World Cup semifinals and it will be a match of hope. Underdogs and winners have already been labeled and the mental burden lies upon both teams. Dutch team has done pretty well so far, beating Brazil 2-1 victory last week. Brazil was one of the hottest candidates of the tournament, but defensive and care-taking Dutchmen dropped off their hopes. So far they have played confident, but that doesn't mean they are not stressed. Uruguay team hopes and hopes hard, because the last time they played in the finals was in 1970. Their last World Cup trophy is more than 60 years old. So this time it may be another either stop or luck! y green light for their football dreams. But so far, we have been also witness of the power of mental influence. So far, almost every, if not every team who gave up mentally has lost. As one critic said, today only the name and the image of the team weren't enough to win the game. Italians, Frenchmen, Englishmen traveled home leaving nothing but their broken image that didn't help at all. And some unknown or marginal teams were able to show great spirit, for instance Slovakia beating Italians, Japanese knocking out Danes. Actually it all depends on morals and some luck, that way you can never underestimate Uruguay, because they've been playing good. At least for football fans it will be a good match. The winner from this duel will pass into the match with either Germany or Spain. But the most possible winner is German team that was able to kill God Maradona and his offensive players.
