Uruguay vs. Netherlands 2:30 PM ET ESPN
Gutsy win for Uruguay to beat Ghana in the quarterfinals, and I think Suarez's red card, while did save the game for them will eventually cost them today. The Dutch are coming off huge upset of top-ranked Brazil and Wesley Sneider's team should have enough firepower to take out the last non-European team left.

Germany vs. Spain 2:30 PM ET ESPN
Well, a rematch of the Euro 2008 final and what a game this looks to be. The youthful Germans disposed of unorganized Argentina 4-0 while Spain edged Paraguay 1-0 in the quarters. David Villa is on fire for the Spanish, who have looked stout defensive throughout the tournament, while the Germans and Miroslav Klose have taken advantage of defensive lapses by opponents to score four goals in consecutive matches. It's a true pick 'em match but I'll go with the Spanish experience in the back and Germany's loss of Thomas Müller as the difference maker.
My Quarterfinal record: 2-2
