From the start of the second half, that was a great final, tense with chances on either end. Spain just shaded it in my book, but the Dutch really should have scored first, goddam Robben. Well done to both teams. Casillas has lost his shit :lol

What did Iniestas shirt say? and who is the woman Ramos lifted up? She always help the substituted.
te recordamos Dani jarque or something like this. ?we remember you Dani jarque, a football player who passed away a year ago. From Espanyol, the other team in barcelona.

Iniesta went down too easily but fouls of that nature are often given sometimes because of 'intent', so I wouldnt say he conned the ref. The Dutch are unhappy about some of the decisions at the end but they were lucky not to be down to 9 men, some would argue less than even that so I don't see how this cry of unfairness is really justified.

Spain deserved to win this WC, if not for sheer quality then at least its a victory for a style the Dutch once proudly called 'Total Football'.

Ya, divers do deserve to win.

Something like "Dani Jarque siempre estará con nosotros", about a player who died last year.

Also, FUCK YES, all those fouls were annoying.
 
Man, what a shitty disgraceful final to a world cup.

The ref is blind, the Spanish dive more than an underwater search unit, and the Dutch have kicked the Spanish more than the ball. Awful.

That should have been an instant red card and a punch in the nuts for good measure, stupid tackle.
 
As much as I wanted the Netherlands to win for absolutely no reason, I have to tip my hat to Spain. Played a brilliant World Cup.

Congratulations.

And stop whinging about the ref please.

Well I enjoyed the game and before I go I will just say this:

Captain Blondebeard: Madre de Dios! Es el Pollo Diablo!
Guybrush Threepwood: ¡Sí! ¡He dejado en libertad los prisioneros y ahora vengo por ti!
 
I know I'm in the minority but I didn't think either team has played much exciting football through the world cup, but the better team won tonight. I was amazed Holland only had one player sent off, some of their tackles were fucking awful.

Anyway, congrats to Spain.
 
I speak to you now from the land of chokers, where Robben is king.
First of all, congratulations to Spain. A first world cup victory, and when you look at the whole tournament, Spain generally showed the better football (except against Switzerland).

But man, worst final ever. Fuckton of yellow cards, shitty football on both sides (marginally more shitty on our side), nasty fouls, especially by our players, and so many missed opportunities. Robben will have nightmares for the rest of his life, and only Rensenbrink really knows how he must feel now.

Oh, that was definitely a red card, no doubt about that.

Regardless, he was all over the place with those cards, some weren't even deserved.

But Spain wouldn't have won right now if Holland had gotten their free kick.

Way too much bullshit went down this entire World Cup, that just some referee cameras could have stopped.
 
Congrats Spain, exciting final. I can only imagine how everyone there must be feeling

This is how I will remember the match, unfortunately...

It's like one of my Japanese animes!

If the ref weren't blind Netherlands would have 8 in the field.

Stop whining.
