Brilliant - best team won. Not a great game though, but with the result always in doubt, it was always interesting.

Ok - who is going to win the premiership.

West Ham

[Mick Mac]

Are they still in the premiership? - I cant remember how it all finished last year....

If you are not in it you cant win it.

Harold Webb.....another crap english performance

[brum]

Spain deserved it. Though I'm disappointed it wasn't more of a spectacle.... Holland just didn't turn up.

I thought he was very good - what did he do wrong?

[LadyTaTa]

Here he is...

[karter]

agree with Brum and Octy, and also LM, Spain won, they deserved it.

*hiccup*

There's no way wotsiname should have stayed on the pitch for a chest high late booted challenge. He was subservient to the occasion - Holland should have had 2 players sent off by half time and a cheating and violent team nearly made it to the lottery of penalties. Weak refereeing.

That's because it was Spain v Netherlands. Holland weren't invited.

This.

That tackle on Alonso was disgraceful. Actually hoped that Webb would make a momumental fuck up and never ref again. Oh well....

[Mick Mac]

I think we have had too many referees making match defining decisions in big games with sendings off and penalties. Webb made no hasty decisions and the best team won, he will be appluaded for this performance I reckon.

We all saw the bad foul on Alonso of course, but he did not see it in slow mo like us, overall I thought he did really well - he took no shit from the players, laid down the law early with a fair few bookings of the key prepetrators and also avoided controversial decisions. Well done I think.

[DJKillaQueen]

I think Webb and his linesmen did very well. We all know what Van Bommel has got away with all tournament, Webb made no hesitation in booking him. 15 yellows and one red is more a refelction on the players than the ref and for all the prostestations Webb and the linesmen were spot on for the goal.

[matthew123]

Thought the Ref was poor last night and spoiled the game, whether because of his reputation from the Premiership I don't know but he had no authority on the game. It's a World Cup final and there will be late tackles early in the match but instead of using his discretion he continually nipped the flow of the game. Yet when it came to giving a second yellow card to Puyol or Robben he decided to use his discretion.

[wjfox]

A well-deserved win by Spain. (tu)

Ludicrous number of fouls by the Dutch. ::o

How on earth wasn't this a red card? -
