Iniesta is the best player in the world by far.. I'm shocked, that you are shocked he has been the difference maker in another big game

He's hardly the best player in the world. I'm sure he'd admit that himself. Still, top player and great finish.

Mile onside.

How there wasn't a corner given before that is beyond me.

I saw the goal coming, after the dutch player was muscled out a spanish player got the ball on the wing and a dutchman sprinted in and missed the tackle. One of very few brain farts during the match from the Dutch.

Why only one booking for the celebrations?

You don't get booked for celebrating, was booked for removing his top.

feel bad for the dutch keeper,
someones guna throw a slap yet.

This must be a record for any world cup final
9 for Holland and 5 for Spain.
That 14 yellow cards given out by the Referee for a World Cup Final

They were not complaining for offside, it was for the free that should have been given to Holland at the start of it all, added to the corner you speak of has taken the shine of Webb's performance before that for me.

I really wanted Holland to win this. But they really really deserve everything they get after that utter disgrace of a performance. Holland tried to kill football today, Iniesta saved the day.

Are people saying that goal was offisde????
Have they not seen the replay, he was a mile on?

I am absolutely delighted. After the way Holland have caried on, they don't deserve to be champions at all.

Not too sad I missed th first hour of this if th last 30 minutes of garbage was anything to go by. I'v nver wantd to punch som sens into a bunch of players.

Dirt game of football in every sense of the word. It would have been better settled on penalties, ridiculous as that sounds.

Now you know what Arsenal have to put up with most weeks, but of course its "they don't like it up them " and "soft centre"

Torres Hammy going is probably a good thing for the 'Pool. He won't pass a medical anywhere else now.

I was replying to someone on here who said it looked offside.

Congrats Spain.

Why are the dutch players protesting? Get off the field.

PHB

To be honest, I think that Webb reffed this final absolutely excellently, and even though he got the odd decision wrong, I still think it was a top-class performance.

Away with you pal.

The point was that it was an awfully reffed game - put away your hardon (or bet) for Spain for a moment and you'll see that was the important part of the post.

By the way, anyone who thinks there was a 'good' side there tonight is way off. Both teams were fouling, diving and (above all) bitching constantly.

Some kind of never-ending penalty shoot-out purgatory might've been fitting, but neither of them can take any moral high ground.
