There's just way way too many players on that Dutch team which I don't like for me to wish them any success....

Robben, Kuyt, Van Persie, De Jong...can't stand the sight of them tbh...same with Argentina and Spain...

My hopes now rest with the Germans :(

Its hard to dislike either of the teams in this semi though. Ghana as the African underdogs, or Uruguay with Diego (woa-oh) in fantastic form. Hoping Ghana can achieve something special tonight but my head says Uruguay will shade it. Either way I'll be cheering the winner on in the semis.

I hope Uruguay get through purely for Diego Forlan.

You couldn't write a script like that really.....I'm delighted for Diego's sake, and cause I believe Uruguay are much more likely to beat the Dutch than Ghana..

Terrible first half for a World Cup Final.

How De Jong wasnt sent off for that shocking kick to the chest on Alonso i dont know.

Im glad Spain won it, Netherlands were filthy and Van Bommel was a disgrace through the whole tournament how he went through the World Cup without getting sent off is amazing.

Well done to Diego Forlan for winning the Golden Ball player of the tournament i thought he was fantastic all the way through.

Wouldn't have been possible without Iker Casillas two saves from Robben. Real Madrid.

Casillas has always been the luckiest keeper I've ever seen. I swear, so many times shots just rebound off him to safety when he hasn't got a clue what's going on. Great keeper, but unbelievably fluky at times.

Robben will replay that one-on-one moment in his head for the rest of his life.

Congrats to Spain though. This was their 'Golden Generation' and they've gone and won the European Championship and the World Cup, just like France did.

Scary to think how good Barcelona will be next season with Messi and Villa cutting in from the flanks and Xavi and Iniesta pulling the strings in the middle. :shock:

I am glad Robben will be haunted by those misses.

And equally glad Torres was so awful and ended up injured.

Well done to Spain.

If it happens on a regular basis, maybe you could also attribute it to good positioning and him 'making himself big', which is a quality of a top keeper...
