WC FINAL: Netherlands vs Spain

[MrMarcello]

I don't think they've parked the bus. . .they've definitely hurried the Spaniards, though.

Playing more like United up against Barca in 2008 then?

Unless someone turns it on second half, I think we're in for one of the poorest Champions of the World Cup ever. Both can play much better football than this, but they haven't particularly at any point this tournament

I wouldn't be surprised to see the opening goal come from a set piece. If there even is an opening goal

what even worse than the one in the USA??

If they play like we did for the first ten minutes they'll be very unlucky not to take the lead

Set piece or mistake maybe.

Whats ging on lads? WC final and barely 8 pages lol

 

[Massive Spanner]

Because the Orange are parking the bus?

So United followers should justify when the likes of Blackburn set up shop in their own half, eh?

I meant more-so the way they've been reacting and going down and that, and they have been poor compared to their 'standards'.

But true, it's mainly because the Dutch are just sitting back, and doing it better than just about every other team at the tournament, unfortunately.

 

[B Cantona]

what even worse than the one in the USA??

Certainly competing with it!

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Spanish players pissing me off now .chasing the ref after every foul

 

[Leg-End]

Spain really do crowd the ref alot, very annoying.

 

[Drifter]

Sneijder should have been booked

 

[JayWalker]

Busquets is up so soon, woah.

 

[dev1l]

sneijder avoiding yellow after he promised webb he ll join utd

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Certainly competing with it!

maybe your right , its nor the best ,I really hope it does not go to pen , worse way to end a game

 

[Spoony]

Well, I think the Dutch have pressed up high on the pitch. How many times have you actually seen Spain in the final third, for example? As many if not fewer times than Holland? I think so.

 

[AttackingFlair]

Sneijder pretending he's hurt after a poor challenge

 

[Myxomatosis]

The USA one was at least a masterclass in defending from Italy.

I know the Spanish team is mostly Barcelona players, but it's always the Barca players who go after the ref to demand a yellow card. Webb should start booking them, I thought FIFA were to punish players who called for others to be booked?

 

[The Taurean]

Seems Holland have taken Gullit's suggestion too seriously.
Holland doing everything right except getting the goal. With all the yellow cards, with every minute their chances are deteriorating.

 

[Stack]

Im not finding the game boring at all.

 

[Spoony]

Yeah, they've clearly not parked the bus.

 

[manufanatic]

dutch closing the strongest

 

[032Devil]

HT

game - boring

Ref - inconsistent (typical Webb)

 

[JayWalker]

Yawn.

 

[Number7]

Kuyt ain't half a cnut

 

[The Law of Denis]

Man of the match so far: Howard Webb

 

[B Cantona]

I don't think the Dutch have parked the bus, but their passing has made England look like Brazil 1970 so far. Hideously poor, have to feel sorry for Van Persie who got feck all but crap

 

[Tibs]

Shit game so far

 

[Allforone]

Well that was rather brutal.

 

[Gambit]

Thank feck the premier league starts next month.

 

[Myxomatosis]

Reminds me of the 1990 final.

 

[Drifter]

Dutch doing what they do best frustrating the opposition.

 

[manufanatic]

tactically the dutch have this right but can they craft the goal. I see a definite opportunity on set pieces.

A goal does need to come or this game will get tighter and tighter

 

[B Cantona]

I semi agree with Hanson. Van Bommel should have gone, De Jong really could have gone, think Sniedjer was fairly booked though

 

[Gambit]

Well that was rather brutal.

Dull more though.

 

[Spoony]

dutch closing the strongest

I think they've had the better of the half, I think they've pressed up high on the pitch and that has caused Spain to lose fluency.

 

[jveezy]

Thank feck the premier league starts next month.

This

 

[gbgary]

it's gonna be nine a side before it's over with all the yellows.

 

[032Devil]

Typical World Cup - boring

 

[goldenballs]

The Dutch are a disgrace to be truthful.

 

[Allforone]

Dull more though.

I blame the octopus, the dutch players are understandably pissed hence the 'well atleast lets take a few with us' attitude.
