Most of those were in Xavi and Iniesta's imagination for Dutch players though...

No, he did something that should have been a yellow (knocking someone over after the ball had gone), plus all the imaginary yellows.

He didn't have a good game, it wasn't BAD, but it wasn't good.

Wonder how much Barca are willing to pay for fabregas now:lol:

:lol: At Howard Webb getting booed. Had a good game apart from that one bad call for the red and the goalkick that should have been a corner.

I really do feel for the Dutch side. Across the tournament they've been better than Spain for the most part.

The dutch were definitely the better attacking side, it's just a shame that they spent most of the game playing defensively. Spain controlled the possession but couldn't link well between their strikers and their midfield. That wasn't helped by the fact that Villa does almost as much running as Berbatov.

+1. Not by any means. Spain weren't the better team IMO. They won dirty and the 3rd place play-off was the better final yet again.

Fabregas and Navas both made massive differences when they came on.

I think you're right. He didn't pull up like you would with a hammy, but he was proper ******. He knew it too. He was bawling his eyes out.

My heart breaks for the kid.

Also didn't Iniesta already get a yellow earlier on in the game? For some reason I thought he did.

Thoughts on this World Cup Final.
-Glad I didn't bother waking up till the start of ET.
-Glad I put the TV on mute as soon as I heard Foster's voice

That's a shit way to end the world cup. A bad decision just prior at the other end, an offside pass, a dive by the goal scorer to get the Dutch to 10 men. That's not a win to be proud of.

Not just because I'm an Arsenal fan but Fabregas made all the difference in that game and added to that with the assist for the goal.

Torres' groin gone again.

And with that final whistle, New Zealand are the only team to go unbeaten in the tournament.

Fucking hell Foster needs to shut the fuck up. If Robben could finish, it would've been 2-1 ffs.

Think Heitinga took one for the team. He knew he was off. Came back to bite them...

World class finish from Iniesta. Hard to argue with that ball and finish.

Was always going to come down to the first moment of magic - shame it only came in the last 5 minutes of 120.

Well I think they deserved it. Better than Holland, although not by much.

Where is Torres? Did he get stretchered into the dressing room?

Did anyone hear that moan when the final whistle went? I think Craig Foster came. Now he's wanking over Spain, saying they're "the best team in the tournament", even though they looked average in just about every game they played.


That's awesome to see.

Oh dear, Torres :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: That's Liverpool's season in trouble too.

Torres :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Fixed:p

Good finish by Iniesta though.

So, Unless Sneijder scores in the next minute, Muller takes out the Golden Boot!!

Iniesta wins afroman $60.

Iniesta was offside when Torres made the cross to Fabregas too.

INIESSSSSSSSTA

All from Torres' cross. :P

He's had such a poor game as well. Iniesta, that is.

INIESTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

INIESTA SCORES!!!!!

Shit like that from Iniesta sometimes makes me understand why people hate football. He had a chance to run on and score the world cup winner, but goes down for the free kick. It's pathetic.

Another dive from Iniesta. I forget...is this the olympics?

Pathetic dive from Iniesta really.

The red was inevitable but I'm surprised they lasted this long without one tbh.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAand there's the red we were all waiting for. Heitinga shown his second yellow and the dutch are down to 10.

And there goes Foster saying that Iniesta's dive to get Heitinga sent off was a legitimate foul. JUST SHUT UP!!!

RED CARD FOR HEITINGA
