Oscar Tabarez targets the Bayern Munich winger as the key Netherlands player when the two teams meet on Tuesday

Uruguay might have needed a play-off victory against Costa Rica to reach the 2010 World Cup, although while Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Chile have all fallen by the wayside in South Africa, La Celeste are still flying the flag for south America.

Aside from the sparkling forward play of Luis Suarez and Diego Forlan, this is a team that have been solid rather than spectacular, with Uruguay only conceding two goals throughout the tournament.

Striker Sebastian Abreu, who is expected to replace the suspended Suarez, has admitted that manager Oscar Tabarez has been working on methods to stop Arjen Robben from weaving his magic and that is likely to mean two players blocking him out whenever the Bayern Munich player is on the ball.

"Tabarez has been talking to us about Robben and how to stop a player like him. But it's always different when you are on the field. So we know how to do it but whether the actual execution actually comes off is another thing."

However, it's Wesley Sneijder who also appears to need a tight rein after the Inter midfielder's brace against Brazil. Can Uruguay stop their opponents from playing on Tuesday night?

Uruguay are 6/1 (bet365) to beat the Netherlands in their World Cup semi-final.
