Wesley Sneijder could not contain his excitement after scoring in Netherlands' 3-2 victory over Uruguay to help his side reach a first World Cup final since 1978.
Sneijder put the Oranje 2-1 up in the second half, after goals from Giovanni Van Bronckhorst and Diego Forlan had sent the teams into the half-time break on level terms.
Arjen Robben netted a third to seemingly put the game beyond doubt before Uruguay rallied late on, scoring a second goal courtesy of Maxi Pereira.
But Bert van Marwijk's side held on and Sneijder admitted he was still having to pinch himself at the thought of playing in the World Cup final on Sunday against either Germany or Spain.
Van Marwijk echoed Sneijder's sentiments regarding grinding out the result regardless of performance, and admitted his pride at the achievments of his players in reaching the final.
