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.!!
I did watch the match yesterday between Germany and Uruguay. Uruguay played very well, there were a bit unlucky to lose, the free kick in the penultimate minute hitting the goal post. Uruguay matched every move of the Germans. This was a delightful match to watch. If someone has to lose, it should be like the Uruguayns - they have a lot of passion in their play.

Yes indeed both team played very well but the real domination was by Uruguay. The last Free kick at the extra time, decided the game favouring Germany. Better luck Uruguay in the next world cup. You played really well and your game will be remembered by all football fans till next world cup. Germans well done. Keep it up. All the best for Cup in the next world cup.

What u all probably din realiz before sayin.."but the real domination was by Uruguay" IS The Germans were playing without 4 of their key players just trying to give a chance to the newcummers.. Key misses were:- Lahm Klose Podolski And their Goal Keeper Newman

Nobody asked them not to play with their players. The fact is Uruguay played a much better match and fully deserved to win. Their only weak link was their goal keeper who made two huge mistakes. Diego Forlan is definitely the most inspirational player of this tournament and I do hope he wins the golden boot.
If the octopus was Indian the owner can make millions of money and Paul would have been an even bigger celebrity. We know how easily Indians can be fooled in such matters. They will be queuing up to catch a glimpse of the holy baba and do pujas, offer him milk, sweets and other crap. lol... He will soon become another Swami Nityananda and start harassing beautiful Indian girls who'll come to him for solving their problems

a small correction. Not solving their problems but creating him problems.
The present Spain team is really a great team. Some people are even describing it as the team of the century. However, I really like Dutch team to win the match because many times they missed world cup despite being most deserving team. So, my best wishes to Dutch team! Good luck Spain next time!

here two things are involved. Performance and perfection. Both the teams possess them. The only thing is how it is being applied. Let us enjoy watching the final and cheer both the teams without any bias.
