2010 fifa world cup south africa

[carbo-fation]

Lowest scoring total for a World Cup winner EVER. 8 goals total in 7 games.

Meh. A win is a win. They played their way and they did well. Def. getting a Ramos shirt.

Holland did deserve those cards, but Spain deserved just as many (what the ____ was wrong with that referee!?), and that last goal should NOT HAVE COUNTED! If this had gotten to penalties and Spain won I wouldn't be bothered, but that was complete and utter BS.

 

[Anubis]

that foul play deserved a PK anyway...and robben didn't take a DIVE for it.

The original challenge wasn't even in the box was it?

The original challenge wasn't even in the box was it?

Yes. And it would likely have been a red card for Spain's 80s rocker reject. He was the last defender and clearly impeded the goal try. But no call? A complete mockery.

 

[Anubis]

Yes. And it would likely have been a red card for Spain's 80s rocker reject.

Oh ok fair enough, couldn't remember.

Not just a win for Spain, but a win for Paul the Octopus

it was in. robben broke away that quick. puyol clearly can be seen grab-swiping him from the cameras...ref was nowhere near. and carded the WRONG guy.

CHAMPIONS OF THE WOOOORLD!!!!!!!!!! VIVA ESPAÑA!!!

 

[JosephCPR]

The Netherlands didn't deserve to win by any means...Dirty play received its punishment

 

[The Tuggernaut]

Well, good for Spain. Worthy World Cup winners, despite what people may say. I'm disappointed that the Dutch didn't finish it off it regulation time, but what can you do. You'd bet your house that Robben would finish off those chances. I'm not gonna say that the Dutch didn't deserve the yellow cards they got, but if you think they were the only team "playing dirty" (LOL ) we've obviously been watching a different match.

Yeah, like Spain didn't play just as dirty.

I really wish Germany had beat them. This final SUCKED, mostly thanks to Spain's kill-ball strategy. They wil every freaking game 1-0.
YAWN!

Not really. If you actually watch the way Spain play, you'll see that they're constantly creating chances and opening up play. Spain are easily the best passers and creators in the world.

Spain took Wimbledon and the World Cup. Now if they take the Tour de France, it'll be a perfect July victory for them.

Poor Oranje, I had been going for them since the beginning and things were looking splendidly. They just weren't in form but I do agree the ref gave a lot of bad decisions. YES all of Holland's were just and deserved, but alot were wrongly against them and just true italian-esque oscarworthy dives. Also where was their corner for the blatant wall deflection off Sneijder's hit

 

[JosephCPR]

You are right...a lot of bad decisions

Spain have got Switzerland to thank for beefing up their defence en route to become world champ.
