winner takes on USA for the final Sunday morning

This looks like amateur hour in comparison to yesterday's US-England game. The final three should probably be US/England/France. Neither the Dutch nor the Swedes can hold a candle to any of those teams. Sunday's final will likely be a blowout. Yesterday's game should have been the final. Unfortunately the group draw resulted in highly unequal groupings.

"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." (1987) -- Carl Sagan

These teams made it to the semi-final because they upset other higher ranked teams: Sweden took out Germany, which has made it to every prior semi-final in World Cup history.

Holland has exceeded expectations in this tournament and they are rock solid. They haven't scored yet today in this match but they're knocking on the door.

I know how they got to the semi-final but that's irrelevant. I'm actually watching them play and the level of play is pathetic compared to that of US, England, and France.

For a "pathetic" team those Dutch women are something.

If the Dutch play like that on Sunday, they have no hope. That's too bad.

The USA will be playing The Netherlands, not Holland.

or, after a quick spin on google, the USA will be playing the twelve provinces of The Netherlands which include North Holland and South Holland.
