Easily one of the funniest opinions I've read.
He missed Robben though.
found thison the net.
As both team look to create history, they will be meeting each other for the first time in a WC match. Their only meeting at finals has been 90 years back in 1920 Olympics that Spain won 3-1. Too far back to cite as an example anyway while head to head in their 9 meetings, they are at 4-4 with one draw. History and statistics are of no help to choose a favorite for today.
Any of you watching the ceremony?
Looking forward to the game , hopefully better than the last few.
Holland to win for me , 3-2 after extra time ,
Holland to win for me , 3-2 after extra time ,
watching online at work till I get home . What a dreadfull bunch of singers these are
Come the feck on Holland, could you imagine being Sneijder, club treble and WC in one year! Has that ever been done before??
I wonder how long the pitch has been covered for , they have not been that great anyway
If Villa scores and Sneijder doesnt, then Villa has won the golden boot at the Euros and again at the world cup after. Has a striker done that before? Obviously south american ones cant have. So it would be a european striker feat. Anyone know?
Edit - Okay Jerkovic was top scorer in the 1960 euros and 62 world cup. Gerd Muller was top scorer at world cup 1970 and then top scorer at the european championships in 72. So if Villa scores and Sneijder doesnt, Villa would become the third player ever to be top scorer in the two consecutive international tournaments, the european championships and the world cup, either way around.

Ultimate bzzzzz initiate
Let us enjoy these last few minutes of eternal vuvuzelas buzzing
Thank feck the vuvuzelas will be gone. I cant remember football without it anymore.
Torres doesnt start.
Oh no. Now how are Spain going to manage?!
Better?
Nice to see Mandela has Alan Hansen's seal of approval.
Mandela is a true hero and Hansen is just a cock
Hansen: "Since he came out of prison he did really well."
he really has not got a clue has he.
Lots of goals please, and a Dutch win.
Does anyone know who did that cover of the Sopranos theme BBC played at the start? Freakin' class.

Ooooh Howard Webb gets more of a build up than Wesley sneijder, shouldn't really be surprised though should we.
You know, I'm not even sure I can be arsed to watch this.
On the face of it, it's the technical excellence of Spain vs the Proud but lacking history of the dutch, and should be a huge showdown to round off an enjoyable tournament, but in reality, I really couldn't care less. Both teams both annoy and bore the feck out of me.
I'm severely tempted to hop on a train and spend the evening with the missus, which would mean missing a fair chunk of the game on the way there.

Hope Howard Webb does England proud and has a good game
Class banner lol
That flag was good tbf 
The journalist interviewing Howard Webb -
"Have you ever heard of guys like Jack Taylor and Pierluigi Collina?"
"Have you ever heard of guys like Jack Taylor and Pierluigi Collina?"
I know, terrible grammar as always.
BBC are all about Spain, like their games before its clear they are desperate for them to win. I hope Holland do an Inter on Spain, they don't need to stop Xavi and Iniesta playing in midfield, just sit back and keep organised.
If Spain do win, then Paul the octopus should get a knighthood
Hansen & co absolutely convinced Spain will win tonight, good sign for Holland.
Spain's Prime Minister has already granted him asylum and immunity as a resident of Spain!
Breaking news:
Paul the octopus has been struck down by the sea life version of a coronary, if he fails to pull through it renders any pre match prediction irrelevant, as of yet its uncomforted reports that suggest 3 dutch fans were seen exiting the scene of pauls potentially fatal condition.

Shakira was looking quite tasty in her outfit. That alone was worth watching the pregame festivities.
Pointless without ...
Could do with the Dutch getting an early goal to make te game exciting
Torres hasn't come out to train?
Spain win with Villa clinching the golden boot will see me cash in.
