2010 World Cup - Netherlands 0 Spain 1 - FINAL

[Raiders_Premiers]

Not too sure about the winner here. I reckon the Netherlands can pull it off 1-0

 

[Twizzle]

I picked Spain over Netherlands at the start of the WC and I dont see any need to change, Spain coming good at the right time.

 

[Bumble]

For the first time since 1998 we're going to have a new World Cup winner...exciting.

Cmon the Dutchies.

 

[Bulldog Force]

For the first time ever, we're going to have a European team winning in a non-European country.

VIVA ESPANA!!!!!!

(Although my tip will go with the Octopus!)

[Noa]

Did he mention they got done like dinner by a more defensive team containg Wes Sneijder, or did the master "analyst" leave that out.

 

[CC_Eagle]

Spain 2-1.

Or 1 all at FT with Spain winning on penalties.

I did wonder when Paul the Octopus was going to get mentioned.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Trust Paul to be wrong when I want him most to be right
7 hours to go.

Don't be fooled by tv guides people. All tv guides are saying kickoff (AEST) will be at 3:30pm. The kickoff will be normal time GMT+2:30 in South Africa, meaning we're getting it at 4:30am (GMT+10:00)

This is the final I picked and I hope its a contest worthy of the two best teams not only at WC 2010 but also the two best for the entire campaign + qualifying.
I'd be happy whoever wins as I like watching both sides play and whoever wins will be a first time winner. I tipped Spain but if Holland get up its all good too. More focused on the quality of the game rather than a favourite winning.

 

[langpark]

tonite is the night that holland finally get found outas the pretenders that they are, against a mediocre spain. 2-0, Villa to grab both.

 

[Red Bear]

I ended up with Spain vs Netherlands final in the tipping comp my soccer club put on. Spain 2-1.

Although this is the hardest one to pick. I was pretty confident Spain would beat Germany, and Netherlands were morals for their semi. This is a tough one, both sides are very calm and arent going to do anything stupid, but I just think Spain will find it easier to unlock the Dutch defence.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Can't f**king wait

 

[Noa]

Maybe its the heart but Holland to win 3-2, RVP to grab a double. No doubt Spain play the better looking football but Holland have the more dangerous players IMO and that will be the difference.

 

[Red Bear]

Spains ability to retain possesion will be too great I think, although would be a better side to watch if they actually tried to land the killer blow a little more often rather than just constant build up. But i guess that's how they have become so good, by always being cool under pressure and not panicing or rushing into a shot.

Spain 2 (Villa, Alonso) Netherlands 1 (Kuyt)

 

[Bumble]

I just hope that we don't see Spain play boring possession-ball and not try and not even try to score in the first half.

^ This.

Precisely the reason I only lasted 35 minutes in the Semi.
