Biased much? I'm on the minority that believes the Netherlands weren't playing that dirty. Yes, that Kung Fu kick was horrendous, and if this wasn't the World Cup finals, he would have been ejected on the spot. Overall, though, both teams were fouling, and both teams were diving (though I think Spain did most of it).

With that said, Spain deserved to win that match. The Netherlands got two golden opportunities, and blew it. I do give credit to Casillas for that first one, but Roben definitely could have done more with that. The Netherlands were robbed of a corner kick? So what? A corner is not a guaranteed goal. In fact, it's far from it. I rarely see a goal from a corner kick. I know, "But there was still a chance they could have scored." However, the chance was very slim.

Now, if something would have happened like a Spanish player taking out a Netherlands player who had a clear path to goal, and the referee didn't call a foul, than I would sympathize. Or if the Netherlands scored a goal that was disallowed by a bogus foul or offside call, than I would sympathize. However, missing a corner kick call, and then claiming that cost them the game? You lost me.

Back to Spain. Spain got a majority of the scoring opportunities. They attacked more, and got more shots. Maybe the shots weren't as good as the Netherlands two golden opportunities, but there were more. And am I the only one who thought this was a good match? I swear, the tension was almost unbearable, and I'm not from Spain, so I'm not a "true" fan. I really enjoyed this match, as opposed to the last World Cup final. And I do give credit to the Netherlands. Not even Germany gave Spain as much of a challenge.

EDIT: I forgot to add. HELL YEA! Finally, after falling short of the finals on numerous occasions, Spain finally made it to the finals, and took advantage of it. Great job Spain.

if i may add a HELL YEAH! of my own
there was too much dirty shit the whole time to say that Spain didnt deserve the ball on that particular screw up

You know what, f**k the octopus. This whole world cup was a faggoty cheaters, why do you think Spain won all the matches just just, and the ones they've won were a goal during the last minute?

In my opinion, the whole octo business and world cup itself is just bullshit and someone paid the refs to pull spain through. Carefully review the games and tell me that Spain deserved to win. (especially taking into account the offside goal vs. Portugal which should of eliminated them during the quarter finals, yet they won). Tell me Spain deserved to win and you are stupid, ignorant and blind.

Also don't forget the corner that Holland wasn't given before the Spain goal. Ref made a mistake? or was it.

Are you questioning the phsychiness of the octpus? Hm? Guess not since he got it right
You can be unhappy but the world cup winner is the world cup winner. Some one paid someone is just an assumption with no proof. Luck is a factor to any cup, keep that in mind.

Paul be with you my son. Prais octo.

Oh dear I see too much debating.

I dunno why you're angry. We all knew Spain were gonna win. Paul said so and Pauls' judgement is not to be doubted.
I've had one to many to drink (was at the pub watching the game) so I shouldn't really type much but I have to comment on that ref.

He was shit. Too trigger happy with his yellow cards and be kept stopping the game for fouls that could have been played as advantage. (yes I hate it when the flow of play is interrupted too much)
They both had their chances though. Wish there were more goals but hey the final never seems to bang out many goals.

Lol at the guy saying the ref was paid. He was English. That's why he was shit nah the "ref was paid" excuse is always said by the opposing team. I hear it a lot.
Oh dear I'm rambling. I'm probably not making any sense xD my friend was pretty upset because he put a £10 bet on Holland. I told him he was an idiot for doubting Paul. Shame you non believers. Shame.
Okay I'll shut up now

Ahaha look at my opening post for this thread...I think that post was made before the almight appeared.

i´m glad that spain won. that means germany ´lost against the champ and that´s way better than losing against the 2nd. But it´s really ironic. To get in 3rd you have to win your last game, to get in 2nd you have to lose. I prefer 3rd to 2nd

The match was awesome, and those Ninja grabs and Ninja kicks were awesome

No wonder the game got a little card heavy...

I love the fact that Spain won, but we have to be aware that a LOT had to do with LUCK, Robben failed 2 goals, NOT because Spain could stop them, but because LUCK aka PAUL helped spain.

Oh noes you brought the thread back.
I can imagine many people won't be happy about this

But to answer your question, it's got to be Van Bronckhorst's goal.
