World Cup Final - Spain vs The Netherlands

[fitz]

Both teams are playing exactly the same way they have throughout the tournament. Passing along the back four and kicking the shit out of opposing players on the half way line.

Fabregas should have won it.

BG hates refs, they remind him of the police and traffic wardens.

No wonder he hates Webb as he's both ref & copper

He's just sent Hitenger off and then 8th Dutch booking

All over

Worst final ever

Italia 90 and USA 94 were awful too, just as bad IMO

They were shite, but this one has stunk the place out

Not helped by whistle-happy Webb either

I've got to agree with Jeff - the fouling has been persistent throughout the whole game and some of it has been completely cynical. Don't think Webb's had the best of games, but not surprising given the nature of the game.

Shut up you idiot - Webb was woeful in extra time.

Not that you'd notice from the kiss-ass commentators

He was shocking, as was the whole godawful game

 

[Jeff]

The whole world cup's been pretty bad. I'm glad it's over and we can get back to proper football.

The only unbeaten team in the 2010 world cup..... New Zealand.

The British Virgin Islands too, went out on away goals in 1st qual round after drawing twice

 

[Hazzman]

Typically poor World Cup final but some of the tactics on display were dreadful. Holland attempted to boot Spain off the field...Webb's performance did remind me of his at Cardiff, sort of lost it from the 70th minute within the atmosphere.

 

[homer]

Lots of boos for Webb as he gets his medal

Listen to that, you whistle-happy useless twat

This is one of (the many) times that I am grateful to you chaps. I was beginning to think that it was me.

The BBC saw perfection, whatever Howard Webb did, and were so convinced that Spain were superb, whilst the Netherlands had taken over the role of the Argentinians in 1966.

I have to say, that it would have been very difficult to referee that game and I only saw two really poor decisions; the kick to the chest was an instant red (probably not seen - another case for a word in his earpiece from the fourth official?), and the clear foul on the Dutch player in the build up to the goal. Hanson's remark that the ref' got it wrong, but we don't care because it brought about 'the right result', almost sounds the death knell for competitive sport!

I could not get tired of punching Arjen Robben square in the face.
That is all.

He's certainly got that punchability factor. I believe its called Michael Chopra syndrome.

Don't you think it's time to let it go. It will eat you up inside. No good can come of it.

Piss poor final which summed up a piss poor tournament. Holland were a fecking disgrace last night. First world cup where I have lost interest and avoided games out of boredom.
