With under 28 minutes of play time, there are 4 yellow cards shown already and a great flying kick by De Jong towards the chest of Alonso. There goes the fifth yellow card but lucky for De Jong to be still staying in the pitch with a karate kid like kick.
The Netherlands' defense is so air tight and the oranje are all over the field. So, whom are you routing with?
Vamos Espanya..!!

It turned out to be the most ugliest and gruesome final ever. Thanks to the dutch who came to fight and not to play football. For them winning was paramount and as they decided they did not have the skills to beat the spanish in football, they decided to to beat the spanish blue and black and see if they could beat them. But this Spanish team has a lot of character and in the extra time, Iniesta scored the match winner that sealed the dutch fate for good!!
Cheers!

The Spaniards have their own way too but not that physical compared from the Dutch. I think the Dutch played well too, specially their goal keeper, in fact, both goalie are good and with great saves. The game I think was just the same with the France and Italy match from the previous world cup when Zidane used his head not to the ball but to the Italians chest.

The Dutchman choose to defense and fight-back,but Spain did not give Dutch much chances.Spain control the rhythm and speed in the game.The Dutch have some great opportunities,as Robben‘s solo drive,the Dutch goalie are great,In this moment,Saint Casillas are ”Saint“
