if the dutch win it tonite, it will be a fitting tribute to cryuff, neeskens, kerkoff brother, johnny repp, rank rajkard & rud van gullit who started the concept of *total football* as we see it so much in action today. the last time the dutch were in the finals their campaign was headed by none other than cryuff himself and the dutch win today will be be a fitting finale to his dream which he could not make it happen..!! do not follow octopus *paul* and do not underestimagte this dutch team, they are not called *the flying dutch* for nothing..!! good luck netherlands.go out and just do it.!!
Xavi is a king of passing game. I have never seen him giving miss pass...NEVER ! He is a legendary midfielder in my opinion and should come right after MARADONA and ZIDANE as far as midfield control is concerned. In fact he some time controls and marshal the midfield as if the oponent players are SCOOLBOYS they just run around him to snatch the ball like they are begging for him to leave the ball. He is a real masterclass. His game is so neat...no tackle....no foul play, just pure masterclass. I love this guy. Spanish dependence on this mastro can be understand by Legendary German Frenz Becanbaour words "it looks like Spain attacks when Xavi receive the ball three times, that is the indication for other players to attack"....I think Holland Midfielder Van Bommel and Wesley Sneijder have to work in tendom and work really hard to outwit this MASTRO ! Its for the MASTRO to right History like MARADONA and ZIDANE !
Football Technicalties on One hand ,But Shakira is backing SPAIN - A "punch" dutch defenders will find hard to contain. Hollywood celeb backing Spain. So - - Spain 2 Holland 1

Which injury was faked? The one in which Felipe Mello stamped his boot studs on to Robben's thighs? Bala, I suggest that if you are a Brazil fan, don't put on the 'sore loser' act like Argentine fans. Accept that Brazil lost their cool, displayed bad temparament, played badly and finally lost.

I am very sad to see Brazil fans turning 'sore losers' like the pathetic Argentine fans. If Brazil played bad football on that day, they did not deserve to win. You don't have to blame Robben for that. Felipe Mello was caught red handed doing it on camera ... no fake dive or irritating behaviour.
