THERE was double Dutch pride for Merseyside last night as Dirk Kuyt and Johnny Heitinga helped Holland reach the World Cup final.
Bert Van Marwijk’s side beat Uruguay 3-2 in Cape Town to book their place in Sunday’s Johannesburg showpiece.
Holland will face either Spain or Germany who play the second semi-final in Durban tonight.
Everton’s Heitinga and Liverpool’s Kuyt both played for the full 90 minutes. Reds winger Ryan Babel was on the bench.
Heitinga and Kuyt have figured in each of Holland’s six games in South Africa.
Should they play in the Soccer City decider this weekend it will be the first time since 1966 that both Everton and Liverpool have been represented in a World Cup final.
Forty four years ago it was Everton’s Ray Wilson and Liverpool’s Roger Hunt who helped England to a famous 4-2 win over West Germany at Wembley.
