Johannesburg: Gifted playmaker Wesley Sneijder was his side's key performer in the opening stages of the match and the Inter playmaker once again underlined his importance for Oranje when he restored his side's lead with a deflected shot from inside the area. The versatile midfielder is joint top goalscorer of the 2010 World Cup at the moment with five goals and was involved in two more.
Highly rated winger Arjen Robben again showcased his superb form with a number of silky dribbles and the Bayern Munich star caused his direct opponent all kinds of trouble. Robben initially lacked an end product, but the former Real Madrid star decided the match 15 minutes before the final whistle with a sublime header.
And then there was Mark van Bommel, who once again put in a great performance. Sure, the Bayern Munich skipper is not the most likeable person out there but the influential midfielder has possibly been Oranje's best player at the 2010 World Cup so far and he was his side's inspirational leader in the win against Uruguay.
The Dutch players were already thinking about the upcoming final only minutes after the final whistle on Tuesday and Oranje appear to be determined to win their first World Cup title in history. But if they fail to do so in the end, their star players are certainly not the ones to blame for it.
