Justo Villar: "I think South Africa weren't prepared to host the World Cup.
"A mountain of things happened.
"Like in the first game, against Italy, when we had to go to the hotel, the bus broke down - a new bus - and we had to wait 45 minutes and we had to go in taxis.
"FIFA only care about the stadiums and what you see on TV."
Sir Alex Ferguson claims the weight of expectation on Wayne Rooney was too much.
Ferguson: "I think there was such expectation on him. There was talk he was going to be the player of the tournament.
"Don't forget, that was the prelude to the whole thing - he was going to be the star, he was going to outshine them all - (Lionel) Messi, (Cristiano) Ronaldo. So that level of expectation comes into it.
"And he's not got great experience of [playing in] the World Cup really. You wait, in four years' time you'll see a different player.
"That is going to be one of the imponderables - what has really happened and why are they [England] not getting better form? I watched their games and I was baffled by what I saw.
"Expectation was a big thing. They qualified from a group which you'd have to say was a million to one they wouldn't qualify from. So it was an easy passage into the finals.
"Maybe it would have been better if England had been in a tougher [qualifying] group. They'd have earned the right to be one of the favourites and it would have helped that they'd played good teams before they got there."
HOLLAND 3 URUGUAY 2
Holland will have their chance to exorcise the ghosts of World Cup finals past on Sunday.
Goals from Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben secured a 3-2 semi-final victory over Uruguay in Cape Town and a chance to avenge defeats on the game's biggest stage in 1974 and 1978.
Bert van Marwijk's side may not delight like the 'Total Football' Dutch teams from the playing days of Johan Cruyff.
But having waited so long, the 'Oranje' will care little for that as the prepare to bring their own glow to Johannesburg in a meeting with either Spain or their 1974 conquerors Germany.
The occasion will also provide captain Van Bronckhorst with the opportunity to end his career in glorious fashion.
The 35-year-old brilliantly put his side in front here before former Manchester United star Diego Forlan levelled with a goal that ultimately was not quite enough, even though Maximiliano Pereira's strike gave a glimmer of hope in stoppage time.
Memories of Forlan's dismal time at Old Trafford and a less than sparkling season for Dirk Kuyt at Liverpool should have sent shudders down English spines.
Knowing one of those players would be competing to become world champion at Soccer City on Sunday only emphasised what a chance England let slip through their fingers when they failed to finish top of what still looks like a straightforward group even now.
That is not to say Fabio Capello's men would have made it this far. Nothing they did in South Africa suggested it.
But, as both Uruguay and Holland felt at times during their own quarter-finals that they were heading home, it proves glory can emerge from the most unlikely settings.
Uruguay's moment of despair came following that controversial handball from Luis Suarez that denied Africa its first semi-finalist and left a continent in mourning.
Retribution came in Cape Town as, without his trusted strike partner, Forlan was too isolated to cause Holland damage that was beyond repair.
The 31-year-old Forlan has long since proved his time under Sir Alex Ferguson's wing was an aberration.
Two Golden Boots in Spain and the goal to beat Fulham in this season's Europa League final do that alone.
Still, with the clock ticking down towards half-time, there seemed to be little on when Forlan collected possession 40 yards out.
But, offered space to advance into, he then delivered the kind of shot this hotly-debated Jabulani ball was made for.
Big questions will be asked of Maarten Stekelenburg. Yet, in super slow-motion, it was hard not to have some sympathy for the giant goalkeeper as the ball shuddered in flight and then found the net with Stekelenburg just out of position.
Stekelenburg's part in the equaliser ensured Van Bronckhorst's opener was the better of two eye-catching first-half efforts.
As with Forlan, there seemed no danger when the Dutch skipper received possession in a similar position, far from goal.
Due to retire when this tournament is over, the 35-year-old defender could not have been any more accurate had he placed the 35-yard shot into the net himself.
High to the goalkeeper's left, so far into the corner that it struck the inside of the post before finding the net, it also had the speed of a tracer bullet, which left Fernando Muslera beaten.
Uruguay had not made their impact in South Africa through dazzling skill and unchecked flair.
So, for all the effort of Oscar Tabarez's team, and the excellence of Forlan, it was perhaps right that Holland should emerge victors.
They took their time about it though as Uruguay's defence threatened to hold firm, so it took a bit of good fortune to bring about a second goal.
We will never know whether Sneijder's shot would have gone in without the deflection off Pereira. With it, at such close quarters, it deceived everyone in its wake.
Even Robin van Persie was caught off guard as it flashed through a crowd of bodies so dense Sneijder had to watch carefully to ensure it had found the net.
Three minutes later, Robben rose to power home Kuyt's cross.
For Forlan and Uruguay, the game was up. For Holland, the glory that proved so unobtainable all those years ago, is in reach again.

SPAIN 1 GERMANY 0
Carles Puyol powered Spain into their first World Cup final with a thunderous second-half header to beat Germany.
The Euro 2008 winners dominated possession in Durban but initially struggled to create clear openings against Joachim Low's impressive young side.
But after failing to break through with their subtle approach, Spain eventually brought out the sledgehammer.
Iker Casillas deserves plenty of credit for his fine save at the other end to deny Toni Kroos moments before the goal.
But when midfield schemer Xavi curled a corner deep into the German box, 32-year-old Puyol showed the German young guns what experience can bring as he rose highest to power an unstoppable header beyond Manuel Neuer.
For Germany it was a game too far. But with their impressive victories against England and Argentina, they have signalled a new dawn for their national team.
Spain's prowess has been known for some time. That is why they had the strength to leave out a strangely shot-shy Fernando Torres.
And against Holland at Soccer City on Sunday, they will attempt to confirm their class, as FIFA waits to crown a new champion, no matter what the outcome.
It was one of those games that is usually described as being for the purist. An alternative assessment would be boring.
There was nevertheless a bewitching tactical battle that Spain started in the ascendancy and Germany slowly hauled their way back into.
The format was fairly predictable. Spain dominating possession, Xavi and Andres Iniesta attempting to pierce their opponents' defence with intelligent and incisive close passing, while Germany looked to hit back with greater power on the counter-attack.
Aiming to become the first team since West Germany in 1972 and 1974 to follow up a European Championship triumph by lifting the World Cup as well, Spain's problem was the ferocious discipline of their opponents' defence.
On their charge to the last four, Mesut Ozil, suspended wideman Thomas Muller and Miroslav Klose have captured most of the headlines.
But Germany could not function without Arne Friedrich and Per Mertesacker doing the business at the back.
Having axed Torres, Spain coach Vicente del Bosque was putting more responsibility than ever on the shoulders of David Villa.
Yet the Barcelona-bound forward had just one sight of the German goal, when Torres' replacement Pedro threaded a pass through for him to run onto. Neuer was out just as quickly to make a brave block.
Germany hardly touched the ball for 25 minutes and as it turned out, would have probably benefited from a more English-style route one approach.
But when Spain finally paused for breath, Piotr Trochowski, the man entrusted to fill Muller's right-sided berth, forced Iker Casillas into a scrambling low save and thereafter the Spain skipper was the busier goalkeeper until the break.
The interval just triggered a repeat of the opening to the first half, as Spain totally dominated their bewildered opponents without making it count.
Their best opportunity came when Pedro let fly with a speculative effort that was too strong for Neuer to hold.
Andres Iniesta was onto the rebound in a flash, drilling the ball across goal from the left to where Villa, sliding in at the far post, just failed to make contact.
As they had done before, Germany began to make their presence felt midway through the half when Lukas Podolski chipped a cross to the far post which substitute Kroos met perfectly.
In such moments are big matches won and lost. On this occasion Casillas thundered across his goal and made an impressive and important save. Minutes later, Spain had their lead.
That it should come in such a direct manner after the neatness that had gone before just highlights the paradox of the game.
Puyol's skill was to evade the arm grabs that are now commonplace at all corners by beginning his run from deep.
It had the added advantage of giving him the power to ensure once he had got his head to Xavi's corner, Neuer had no chance of keeping the ball out.
Germany did their best to press for an equaliser but in the end, they lacked enough nous.
Indeed, had it not been for the greed of Pedro, who could have presented substitute Torres with a late tap-in, the margin of victory could have been greater.
