The Dutch have made to the World Cup Finals. This marks the first time the Netherlands have made to the Word Cup Finals since 1978.

The Dutch lost Argentina in the 1978 finals.

Netherlands beat Uruguay 3-2.

The Dutch drew first blood when Giovanni Van Bronckhorst nailed a long  range missile in the 18^th minute.

Uruguay tied this baby up one all in the 40^th minute. Forlan hit the sweet spot in the back of the net off a deadly free kick from 25 yards out.

Uruguay put a strong fight against the mighty Dutch for most of the match.

Goals by Wesley Sneijder in the 70^th minute and Arjen Robben in the 73^rd minute broke wide open a one all match.

Sure, Uruguay added a cosmetic goal by Maxi Pereira in the 90^th minute to make it a respectable 3-2.

The Uruguayans had two really good chances in the 93^rd minute but missed it by that much.

The Netherlands has never won the World Cup.
