For the moment 1 thing is clear, holland players are very good in taekwondo

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! 

I think he did a pretty good job. He should have give a yellow card to Sneijder and there were two mistakes before the goal (which is why the Dutch players protested), but still it wasn't those decisions that were decisive. It was still poor defending that prevented penalty shootout. And we know how the Dutch hate the penalties don't we?

Just a side note: Spain had 5 votes in the original poll - about 12% of the votes at the beginning of the cup - and Netherlands had 4.  Now at the end, the majority voted for Netherlands. The two most voted back then - Brazil and Argentina - fell much earlier.

We are very bad at guessing, uh? An octopus does it better than us! 

and Iniesta, and Villa, and Torres, and Xabi, and Pujol........... and everyone, the best players in the world  

Seeing how Spain play football, 2 options: few people in the forum knows about football or few spanish are in this forum

Agree but.... who cares about that now?  

You missed the point: Casillas and Alonso are SO cute!

Congratulations to Spain!

For those interested, this is what the Irish commentators said about the match :
- the Dutch played a vicious and brutal game
- they were appalling to watch
- had the Netherlands won the cup, it would have been a sad day for football
- the referee should have been tougher. He should have given red cards much earlier in the game -to stop the Dutch from ruining the game
- the Spanish played football. The Dutch did not.

They said Forlan was the best player of the tournament.

And I actually managed to watch most of the game

Well done Spain Enjoy!

I can only say about the matches I watched (several of them!) and Forlán was always playing well, unlike others who had one or two matches in which they were a bit null.

The game was on of the worst in wc , but is understandable because nobody wants to risk in final.

Netherlands should have lack 4 players before end not only 1 , and nobody can say that karate kick didn't deserve red card , same as that start from the back in beginning, and Roben
knew very well he is in offside when scoring that goal , should have been suspended because he already had 1 yellow card.

Than again , before Spanish goal it was clear fault on edge of Spanish 16m , so I agree 1 of worst referees ever in finals , probably worse.

Than again I remember another referee from same country showing 3 yellows in same game to same player in WC


Personally , wanted Uruguay to win this

Paul said it!
