it was 100% offside goal.1st corner refused 4 dutch.the kick by spain resulted in this offside goal.nobody talked abt this.everybody who hv no knowledge abt football talked abt dutch tactics.this goal shd be disallowed and finals scrapped.that is justice.

100% offside? Accepted that corner was refused for Dutch & I think that was the only decision that went against Ductch by Webb. But was the goal offside? Then, I think you should learn offside rules in football. And finally, that was a very poor dutch tactics

"Daniel Jarque is always with us". He is a football who died last year at the age of 26. He would have played for Spain if he had been alive.
When the pass was made by Fabregas, Iniesta was clearly offside as the dutch defender Van Der Wiel had moved up. When Iniesta had the ball the dutch defender had played him onside. The assistant referee did not notice and so it was consider as goal.

it was offside in the first attempt of pass ot iniesta, which a dutch player deflected. the 2nd pass was onside as the dutch player cud not move inside when ball was released. offside shud have been called in the 1st attempted pass.

You can not call offside in first attempt as ball was collected by dutch player and not iniesta...thats the rule

You got it 100% correct man. Well all these things hits n misses are part of the game till the technology comes in to play its role.

the player touching the ball should not be the last one. there should be atleast one oponent ahead of you when you receive ball from your team mate.

Please see the video once more. You can very well see that there was no dutch player except the Goal keeper behind Iniesta. I wonder even the Media neglected this thing. I may be due to the bad game the Dutch exhibited. But that will not justify an infringement in the field.
