The Sports Pages

Only one sport story dominates this morning on all the back pages.

Holland are through to the World Cup final 2010 after defeating Uruguay 3-2 in the semi-final last night.

Giovanni van Bonckhurst gave the Dutch the lead in the first half before Diego Forlan drew Uruguay level from outside the box.

A quickfire second-half double saw off the South Americans. Two goals in three minutes from Holland stars Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben put them out of sight.

Uruguay rallied in the closing stages as Maxi Pereira struck a late goal deep into injury time but it wasn’t enough as we now anticipate an all-European final. Holland will meet either Germany or Spain on Sunday night.
