Both teams deserved the title, the ref sucked but that's no excuse. Congrats Spain!

I'm not sure they both deserved it.
One team was fucking dirty and it would've been a disgrace if they'd walked off with it.

Pure, you were against Holland from the beginning
. Holland played dirty the first halve (still can't believe the katatekick from de Jong), but you have to admit the ref pulled out a bit too much cards. Come on, it's a final, everybody is nervous. But still the best team won. I'm off to bed.

Thought the ref had a decent game to be honest - he hardly had any choice with the cards given out (although how De Jong and Van Bommel stayed on the pitch is beyond me)
The dutch aggressiveness in the first half set the tone for the game - they clearly set out to 'disrupt' Spain and try to nick a goal, so they can't complain at the number of cards they had.
Horrible game though
Have to agree with bhara - if it wasn't for the fact that it was the first African World Cup, the whole tournamet would be instantly forgettable (especially for N*ke - Write the Future my arse)

It was a full on Noike v adidas battle for boots on the pitch.
don't recall any player not wearing either the orange/silver jobs or the black/yellow stripe ones.
Only time I got excited was Fat Franks "goal" that wasn't.
I did vent my spleen a fair bit then.
Mostly aimed at that moody c**t Blatter.
fc with the Meh world cup

Yeah, to be fair to howard webb, he couldent off got a harder game to ref that day. I reckon he did ok. Im gonna say goodbye to this thread now.

I heard that the Netherlands had made Raul Maat an honory Dutchman and had him on the subs bench for the final.....
Just in case it went to a shoot-out
