Entertaining game, despite the lack of goals (there is more to football than goals)
Holland played their cards well by showing the aggressiveness the Germans lacked. They could have won it had they used their golden opportunities better. (flick the ball Robben... NOOO) Still, both sides deserved to hold the score to 0-0. Holland successfully neutralised the Spanish attack for most of the game and Cassillas has been decisive to say the least.
Also what Spain lacked in a good tactical plan, they won through sheer brilliance and quality in the players. Iniesta alone says it all. He forced the Dutch to make mistake after mistake in trying to stop him and well, that goal couldn't have been better.
But a part of me died in knowing that this Spain could have played much, much better throughout the whole world cup with such players. The gubbilion 1-0 results they got through this whole tournament don't do justice to what such a talented squad could have achieved instead.
Ah well, they deserved their win still. Too bad for the ref.
