Somebody tell me how when Ramos cleans Ozil out and is the last man he is not red carded? let alone not even a freekick. Bullshit officiating again. Two teams that the referees have constantly helped have got to the final. Who says you win the World Cup on merit. Bullshit final for sure.

World cup final will be like watching a diving competition.

What? You wanted Germany then? They had the biggest call of the tournament in their favour. IMHO the ref was actually pretty good this game. The final is pretty fucked up, because well.. who knows what might have been with good refs? But Spain deserved this today.

German players > Italian players.

Paul the octopus picked Spain to win

Paul is a genius.

Spain was the better team. They deserved their win tonight.

They're still, pound for pound, the best team in Europe.

He's been solid. Many folks here don't rate him but that's simply silly.

When it comes down to it, he's performed very well in big games. Don't think I'll forget the CL final against United when he completely bossed Evra and whoever else was anonymous that night.

Puyol is a big game player, he might not be as consistent as he was 2-3 years ago, but he keeps on showing up in the big games.

The Germans were a tad too conservative today, they never really tested the Spanish. Kudos to Del Bosque, he knew that the Germans will rely on counter attacking him, and he was completely ready for that. The way the Spanish team pressed hard for the ball so high up the pitch, made the game even harder for the Germans.

Spain and Holland should be interesting now.

I don't think it's overhype.

What a Final this will be. 2 teams I never hoped would be in the Final.

He was rather poor when he first started playing for Barcelona though. It took him years to reach his current level. But right now he's absolutely brilliant.

Was I the only person extremely impressed with the play of Toni Kroos? I've always fancied his skill with the ball, but the ground he covered and his defending was pretty good today.

How about the first leg of the Classico this season, when he single handedly stopped three sure goals, and just took Ronaldo and Higuain out of the game.

I have no support for either, however the ref made a crucial error in not sending Ramos off for being the last man it would of changed the game completly. Germany got lucky against us but they still scored another 2 so the call hardly mattered. However Spain have always had calls in their favour. Paraguay were robbed with the goal and the penalty should of been retaken and now Ramos not even getting sent off for a nailed on foul.

I dont care but Holland and Spain have not been impressive this tournament and it will be a poor final.

I was hoping at least one of Germany or Uruguay would make the final so I would have a team to support.

But fuck this final, I wish both teams could lose.

 

[king Ale]

Ramos should have been red carded, he was the last man but the ref didn't even see the foul. Spain deserved the win though.

 

[Enron]

Spain was the better team. They deserved their win tonight.

They're still, pound for pound, the best team in Europe.

They'd average 3 goals a match if their coach didn't insist on play the 'pass to feet' game for 30 minutes a half.

all hail paul the octopus

Pedro should be sent home. I genuinely wanted Germany to equalize and possibly win, after his one-man-show gone bad.

And choked when he could decide the game..

Yea the German's young players have really exceeded expectations.
