What's at stake
Much like South Africa's tournament opener against Mexico, the result of this match will elevate or condemn the hopes of both teams. For France, it is the opportunity to prove it has hit the ground running, on course for a second straight final. For Uruguay, it is the chance to prove to the world that the country's national team has emerged from decades of underachievement to take their place among the world's best.
Player to watch for France
Patrice Evra — One of the world's best left-backs, Evra has skill to impress and speed to burn: one moment he will snuff out an attack with a clean tackle and the next moment he is in the opponent's end dribbling past his opposite number.
Player to watch for Uruguay
Luis Suarez — The 23-year-old scored over a goal a game for Ajax this past season and will tear through opposing defences — with his feet and his elbows — to get to the ball and provide a picturesque finish.
Key matchup
Walter Gargano vs. Yoann Gourcuff: Uruguay obstinacy versus French elegance — this promises to be an enthralling matchup: Gargano, a prototypical rough and tough Uruguayan holding midfielder against Gourcuff, the man proclaimed to be as good if not better than Zinedine Zidane.
