Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez believes his side faced a tough, but not impossible mission to see off The Netherlands in Tuesday's semi-final.
"Holland will be very difficult ufffd but not impossible," said Tabarez, noting that "the Dutch have not lost a game since September 2008".
He added: "This generation is a little different to the traditional Holland ufffd they are a very balanced side.
"At the back they give nothing away, they link well. That's an aspect that other Dutch sides, while they didn't neglect that side of things, they didn't ascribe it such importance."
"They also have really technically talented players in the middle of the park ufffd Van Bommel, Sneijder, Robben... and some who ally incredible power to that technical skill, such as Kuyt while also retaining this Dutch view of the game of constantly attacking."
