Personally I think we have a 2003 BCS split championship situation here.
Spain may have won the Championship game, but New Zealand are still undefeated. I expect the trophy in the mail any day now.Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your ChairComment

What a horrible Final. Ick! Blame to go all around. Netherlands played like thugs. Spain spent most of the game diving. Webb gave out a plethora of yellow cards, yet blew every big call. De Jong's kick to the chest should have been a straight red, Robben should have been given a PK when Puyol grabbed him on the breakaway, and can anyone believe Mark Van Bommel played the rest of the 1st half, the entire 2nd half, and extra time with 1 yellow card and never received a second yellow?Comment

As for the final - it was shit. Spain throughout the tournament were the best side, but that's what happens when everyone else sucks balls. Arjen Robben was credited for staying on his feet after Puyol tried to molest him but he only ended up making it easy for Casillas and this was after he'd missed an easier 1 on 1, showing he's truly Dutch (especially after his non-appearance in the Champions League final).Last edited by davie; 07-12-2010, 10:14 AM.Comment

I agree with davie about Spain being the best throughout the tournament. I don't think there was one team who played against them with any attacking purpose with the exception of Chile who got pumped. Everyone else sat back and were almost content to lose by one goal. Germany were the only other team who put together a great run but even they couldn't go all out against Spain.Last edited by wr50l; 07-12-2010, 04:22 PM.Comment

I was hoping the Dutch would pull it off, but van Bommel and De Jong are pitiful excuses for footballers. Holy shit.
Good decision giving it to Forlan, he definitely deserved it the most.Originally posted by mgoblue2290If you want to win, put Drew in.Comment

The only player who could strike the ball from game 1 onwards.

Germany had a good tournament, they did deserve to lose to Spain but they were the better team in every other game they played.Comment
