*Official* Netherlands vs Spain (World Cup Final)

This is a brutal, cynical boring final so far....
Agreed, really dis-spiriting, can't say I want either team to win ATM, the Dutch have been thugs, and the Spanish refuse to commit players forward, they're so ****ing scared of winning/losing.:@

Ramos should of put that away though.

Spanish jamfest continues for another half an hour then.

The ironic thing about Spain is they way they're playing is they just give themselves as little chance of scoring as possible, they make the game more of a lottery (which they've managed to match the 5 balls drawn so far) because one mistake and it's likely curtains. But they're still vulnerable at the back despite all this negativity. Dutch look like they can score as soon as they string a bit of quality together on the counter.

Hate the way Spain play, it's so non-committal and just so boring.

Spain have had what, 3 crosses and no shots on target in that half? ****ing woeful stuff.

Least Holland are giving it a crack and Robben should've won it after receiving the type of ball Spain are too scared to play.

Worst World Cup final ever by 100 miles. Nil-nilers can often be called "one for the purists", but I think you can say this doesn't qualify.

Oh and the worst World Cup, in my memory, the final swings it IMHO.

At least there has been a load of fouls to make it at least slightly interesting.

Feel sorry for Howard Webb, biggest moment of his life and he has it ruined by a load of cheating, diving, dirty fouling ****s.

Cesc :(

You lot should quit whinging IMO. 2 teams that obviously really want this, chances at both ends. It's a good, tight, tense final.

Ruined it himself by jibbing the big decisions, IMHO.

Well, Fabregas misses, but at least he's making some forward runs, unlike the rest of the Spanish mid-fielders in this interminable match.

Fantastic to see Robben miss a no-brainer. Good player but a dead ****.

Honestly, NZ-Aus WC warm up was better than this shower. ****ing horrendous.

Edit: fmd Iniesta, honestly, 11 yards out, one defender, pull the trigger you stupid ****. Who is he going to pass it to in a better spot than that? WAC.

Did you just watch the first 2 rounds of group games and come back for the final or something?

Not so outrageous, tbh. Probably rate this above 90 & 94, but been the worst for some time. Been some great games, 2nd round and quarters especially, but overall standard hasn't been that high IMHO.
