World Cup 2010

i'm sorry to see you guys lose, i really am, but spain was the better team of the two - not only in this game but for the entire duration of the championships. PLUS those fouls of van bommel and especially de jong in the first half would have deserved a red card right away - what a karate kick ! unfortunately, robben didn't use the two great chances he had and if you don't use your chances, the other team will. in the end, to me spain is worthy of winning the world cup 2010 because they beat the team which definitely played the best football: GERMANY

I would like to congratulate the UK for having the WORST referee in the world, I've NEVER seen a jerk like that......

Normally UK referee's are for manly- football, but this guy was whistling EVERY time a Spanish guy was laying down and crying like a baby.

Also, right before the goal there was a clear offside situation not seen by the line's man.

Once again, we got screwed.....

Spain was not a better team, I think both were equal , but once again, the referee's put their mark on the game.

We have been robbed a World Titel!

Howard Webb is a #$%!# (can even find a proper English term for the little fucker). Im not mad that Spain won, not at all. But this was a unfair fight, with the ref as the 12 man on there team. The goal wasnt even legit, its was offside when they first took the shot (second time not) and the goal came from a corner that WE should had had!! Howard Webb, will never set on Dutch soil without his head been ripped off!

Its not the players fault, its Webbs fault that we lost!

a zero-zero draw was the perfect ending of what was in my opinion a pretty dissapointing World Cup tournament. What a horrible match that was.

too bad we didnt make it to the penalty shootout. But that is also not the way to become WorldCupWinners.
and in the end, a second place for this team is a really good achievment

About the referee, I think he was overconscious of the fact that he was leading a World Cup Final. He left his mark on this game way too much

i agree: totally disappointing world cup with a pretty bad finale - the only thing exciting about it was the question "who's going to receive the first red card?". nevertheless, i think we do have a deserving winner! don't you think it's too easy to put all the blame on the referee? YES, the dutch team should have received a corner right before the goal, but NO, the goal was not a result of that bad decision. and i don't think that the referee was biased: just have a look at that DE JONG foul again, to me this was one of the most brutal fouls in soccer history. although i would have loved the dutch team to win the world cup over spain (because they kicked us out ), i can't agree with the way they're playing soccer at the moment (and this goes for a lot of teams like brazil or argentina as well)!

i know you're hurt and i don't want to add any more fuel to the flames, but that's just my opinion. it has been great following the world cup 2010 with you guys - see you in 2012 when germany is definitely going to strike back!

I totally agree with Ully, the Spanish team deserved to win, they played by far the best football of the WC.

And although the Dutch team achieve good results with this type of football play, I don't like to watch it at all, and I also don't like the way some players, like De Jong and Van Bommel, conduct in the field. We were lucky that we didn't get a red card for both of them much earlier in the finals. And sure, the referee was not at his best yesterday, but he didn't make the Dutch team lose, we did it ourselves.
