HvanEssen, thanks a lot
. You'll win some day, as soon as your team plays football, but yesterday it didn't play, well, it played Karate or something like that... 
Anyway don't worry, I am sure you will win and you'll see that 
I have a headache today, although I went to bed soon. Yesterday all the people was in the street celebrating it
And well... if there is a photo that resumes the match, is this...

Over 30 years but the same feeling. Hopefully Netherlands starts to play football. They have great player over the last tens of years.

At the age of “seven or eight”, Casillas once forgot to post his father’s football pools coupon on the very weekend his dad had correctly predicted all 14 results. The family lost out on an estimated £1 mllion !
the BBC....
Luckily he's made up for it now !!! -

BBC

strange as it may seem, I was rooting for spain since the very beginning. so much so that I put spain as champion in the bet I placed with my friends.
well done, spain! cheers for playing good football as opposed to using violence to stop a skillful opponent.
p.s.: in brasil it is usual among friends or co-workers to get together before the world cup and place bets on it. each one puts 10 or 20 bucks down and tries to guess the winners and the scores of all games, the times that go on to the finals and the winner. one gets points for getting the winner right, for the right score, etc. I won the "bolão" I entered with some fellow architects and my prize was US$ 120,00. I am still uncertain as to what I am going to invest my little fortune in...

Congrats, Spain!

Thanks everybody

see you in 2.014

In the Netherlands are coach van Marwijk and captain van Brockhorst, who will retire form soccer, decorated with a award from the dutch queen.
We are one off the country's with not some many citizens like spain/germany etc etc.
And we are proud of our second place, not of the soccer we showed in the final.

You would never say that judging by the supporters in South Africa,it was a sea of Orange.
Me thinks the Netherlands must have been empty as everyone was in South Africa. -
The streets where empty, and today everyone is in Amsterdam for the celebration of the squad

Have a chance to reflect on the game now, has left me to conclude that I think the ref was a little hard on Dutch players. I mean there has that foot in the chest moment, which was a bit crass, but look how many got the yellow card, for nothing really more than a tackle or two?
I recently read quite a good article by Mick Hume from UK's Spiked.org about the final match;
@unknownuser said:
The main reason for the record number of yellow and red cards handed out was that Webb – of whom we are all apparently supposed to be patriotically proud - is an officious prig, as one might expect, given he is a sergeant in the South Yorkshire police.
(more here; http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php/site/article/9188/)There. The ref. A copper! No wonder he delbt a record amount of yellow cards. Can't help himself!
We got a new world team, but after how long? Right at the end of extra time after no goals at all? What a dull final!

Your quite right, and the man who made the goal should normally send off before he could score.
But when the dutch player Robben his greatest chances (twice) on this tournament bring too good end, then we where the winners.
But the referee had to make mistake right from his first game (Spain-Switserland). It is normal on such a tournament that you never get the same referee twice. This rule is not handed this year and that is why the dutch complain.
