Dutch strategy- hack them to bits!

Spanish strategy- put everyone to sleep!
 
Hes missed numerous incidents

so are you saying he should have given more cards and stopped the game even more? sneider could have been carded and dejong should be off but all in all i think he had done a competent job.

The players dictate how the game goes and so far they have by the hard fouls of the dutch and the diabolical tackles from behind by spain.
 
I was hopeful at the start that we were going to see a proper Spain performance - Barcelona providing the framework, Madrid and Valencia (because I still see Villa as Valencia) providing the edge. Still there's always the second half.

Holland are lucky to have 11 men on the pitch.
 
What will you have had Webb do instead? He has been brilliant. Nobody wants to see 10 against 11 this early in the game of this importance. His discretion has saved this final. It keeps the potential of a good game alive.
He showed those early yellows just to keep things from boiling over.
I think he has been great.

A couple of (justifiable) reds?

He hasn't done his job and that's not to make sure that their are 22 players on the pitch.

they may be but its a time honored way to play a techical side. bruise them early and often see vanpersies tackle in the first minute of play. its how the germans should have started.
 
With Hargreaves seemingly done, anyone else think we should go for Van Bommel as his replacement?
