Yeah, take it easy, he's just trying to have some posts with pointless comments.

I don't see Spain that fantastic, remember they played 1-0 four times in this World Cup, didn't show me any potential. Anyway, Elia has been stopped unfairly at the other box before the Spanish goal, plus Iniesta was offside before the assist like someone said here earlier.

congratulations too to all the barca players (7) in the starting team who helped to win the world cup

That's for sure but , for me, the key of the success it's been the union between Barca and Madrid players, the contribution of Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Xavi Alonso was fundamental; primarily because they build together a great team spirit , all of them. A lot like Italy in 2006.
But you can't say they play spectacular match, they win all the game by 1-0. Great ball possess... yes but but also boring initiative, and sterile attack.
All the world recognize that Italy , in 2006, played basic to defend and then to attack but in the semi-final with Germany, in the supplementary , they made two spectacular goals and take one pale and one traverse, with 4 strikers in the field.

If this "referee" was acting straight, then he shouldn't have send 2 more Dutch players off but also Iniesta.

That guy really sickens me. Falling for no reason several times and then the foul against Van Bommel. If De Jong should have been send of then Iniesta definitely too!

Also his goal can be disputed.

On the other hand, Robben and Mathijssen missed big opportunities.

Yesterday the luck wasn't with The Netherlands.

Also this was the WC of failing referees and lines men. The most important match of the tournament showed that once again.

And Blatter doesn't want any help from electronic devices....

I think it`s not fair to say, Spain isn`t that good, because they always win 1:0. It`s a fact they don`t play that spectacular football but successful and that`s the way champions play. They always shoot a late gool, they play the other team tired and use the few opportunities they have. Whats wrong with that? Plus Spain plays on a top level constantly good since 3 years, as someone wrote above, so they really deserve winning this cup. And nothing against Holland, i really like them and i always did, but someone had to loose...

There is nothing wrong, other times there were team which played spectacular football and they don't win the World Cup. Spain deserve to win but it's a fact that don't play great match . If Robben had put the ball in bye bye Spain. Germany with England and Argentina was amazing, for example...

germany played great football at this world cup, except the matches against serbia, ghana and spain...they were far better than argentina, but argentina never showed the will to win (except tevez for 90 and messi for 60 minutes).

I think that spain deserved to win, cause holland only fought with unfair methods. They kicked the spain players more often than the ball, especially in the first half. If everything would have bene regular, at least 3 players from holland would have seen the red card. Spain also started with some fouls later in the game, but not even close as bad fouls as holland. Holland didn't have much chances, so they decided to play more defensive and tried to keep spain from making goals, with unfair fouls. Also, they were very bad losers, when they got their medals they looked like they would like to kill someone, they could have been at least thankful for the medal, some players and the trainer even put the medal off their neck just after they got it.

that is not true, andi...all the dutch players and also some coaches were standing on the left and right and congratulated the new world champions when the spanish team came down from the balcony on the field with the world cup...the dutch team honoured the winner with this gesture.

if you loose such an important match, one is very disappointed and doesn't want to have a medal for the 2nd place.

The Spanish players dive to much.
