Spain deserved the win but I can't watch them without getting frustrated with how lightweight they are. Holland could have easily won if Robben was more decisive.
Seeing Busquets and Capdevila smugly kissing the world cup bothers me.
I was down Oxford Street earlier and even the Spanish tourists there seemed like cocky *****
only one team didn't lose a game in the whole world cup :)
I'm so glad Spain won, Holland had so many yellow cards I felt sorry for our ref.
The goal was a cheat... There was a freekick on the other side of the pitch.... :| Thats why I hate the world cup... Too many mistakes made by the ref.
I really cant see how people are saying spain played better, just because they passed the ball more does not mean they were better on the night. Holland had a lot more chances then spain did. I think that Holland did go a bit rough and if a red card should of been given it should of been given to the guy who kicked the other guy. Its a shame they lost the game in the last few minutes it would have been better if they lost on penalties.
I really wanted Holland to win, I think they played great this world cup and they deffinatly played better then spain. I mean come on spain lost to switzerland 1-0 and people are saying thier the best team. The best team has a consisten record like Holland who hadent lost 26 games in a row.
You say Holland had more chances, but think about Sergio Ramos' header which went over the bar, David Villa's shot deflected by the keeper right in the corner, Jesus Navas' shot which hit the side net. Spain had a lot of chances.Quote:

so in a way that goal shouldnt have even happened in the first place, both teams shouldve been down to 10 men but hell the dutch shouldve been down to 8 lol
LOL!Quote:

Iniesta got up gave him the slightest nudge with a shoulder and he fell over like he'd been shot.Quote:

Before the WC started, he scored 6 goals in his last 5 games for Holland/Arsenal and was on hot form. Then he gets to the WC, and Sneijder and Robben decide not to pass and go and try and score themselves so Van Persie has to try and help them instead. He made countless runs that were ignored.
Oh well, at least Fabregas won :)!
it looked bad, but it looked like he did it on purpose ;/Quote:
