Holland -v- Spain - World Cup Final

Pompey Magnus

What is happening to the Spanish back line? They are playing a dangerous game

~Rebel~

Insect Overlord

3 minutes of additional time.

The Dutch clearances have been horrendous.

Crap game but I'm disappointed in the Spanish....I thought they would have had enough to beat this bunch of hatchetmen.

There's no Golden or Silver goal anymore in Extra Time is there?

If it was against Arsenal, it would be "they don't like it up them" from everyone lol

I think it's a testament to Webb that this has happened, and I think it's very impressive from him. The match was extremely difficult to ref, but he's pretty much been spot on in every decision, bar maybe sending De Jong off, but I agree with him not being sent off so. He made the 2nd half of the game much more open due to his strict referring and managed not to ruin the game with red cards. Considering what the dutch have been up to, I think he's done very well.

Kirby

Dutch are getting very tired and the spanish defence is stretching itself. There will be goals in extra time.....

MementoMori

Surprising Fact Time

This match holds the record for number of yellows in a final - 9

6 had been the record in a World Cup Final before this.

Insect Overlord

Was that a shot?!

Boskowski

Are the Spanish actively discouraged to have a shot on goal unless well inside the box or what? It's as if they're playin rugby rules or something.

Mr.Nice Guy

Well it's gone to E.T. like I figured. The Dutch have had to work hard chasing after Spain. Hopefully Spain will prove too strong.

Unless you have money on them or are Dutch I find it hard to understand how anyone would be up for such a cynical team.

Holland could be managed by Sam Allardyce.

Proper football nxt week Arsenal V Barnet

Eirebear

So if the Dutch were cynical in the first half, surely the same criticism can be levelled at the spanish in the second?

baldbear

The Dutch are looking good going up. King Billys luck will be with them i'm thinking now. Last bit of wc action now for another 4 years noooooooo:eek:

Penalty and Heitinga off

Never a penalty

Holland should really hope it doesnt go to penalties. There is only one winner with Casillas in goal for spain.

kerash

Can anyone tell me who the female assistant for Spain is? thanks, I've searched the web and cannot find details on any of the coaching team anywhere plus the official site is down.

I think we're looking at penos :eek: :P

I am tired of Spain's holier than thou feeling in the press. They have been only slightly better than the big evil Dutch men. Its not as if Spain are really trying to play football either.

He did catch the leg he was shooting with in fairness.

Oat23

It's a crime that Elia hasn't had a touch of the ball going forward yet. He has fresh legs.

Well done Stekelenburg!
