UEFA president Michel Platini is convinced that the qualification of three European sides for the World Cup semi-finals is a testament to the effectiveness of the 'education programs' and 'sound management' on the Old Continent. Holland will set up an all-European final should they beat Uruguay on Tuesday, with Spain and Germany clash with each other the next day in the last four. "The three nations who have won the most youth events over the past 10 years are now in the final four," Platini said. "Can all of this be put down to mere good luck? I don't think so. "We are witnessing a triumph for technical education programs, sound management and good governance."
