Spain 1-0 Holland ....The World Cup final, a culmination of 64 matches, 145 goals, and 32 teams, so last night at Soccer City Stadium, the most watched ?event? in the sporting calendar so far this year, with a global audience Fifa estimates to be measured in hundreds of millions, is treated to ill- tempered display punctuated with constant fouling which lead to Referee Howard Webb producing 13 players with yellow cards and sending Dutch defender Heitinga off, and then for officiating fairly Webb was unceremoniously booed off the pitch when collecting their medals (Webb and his deputies) by Dutch supporters, this final produced a new record low for the number of bookings for a World Cup final.
Dutch holding midfielder De Jong levelled a boot directly into the chest of Alonso, had this not been the occasion of a World Cup final, Webb had little choice than to show a yellow for what would have been a straight Red had the offence been committed in a Premier League fixture......... Dutch Manager Van Marwijk astonishingly attempted to defend the behaviour of his players stating, "It was still our intention to play beautiful football, but we were facing a very good opponent, Spain are the best footballing country in the past few years, so we needed to have a top day to beat them, we did a good job tactically on them, we got into good positions at times. It's not our style, but you play a match to win, it?s a World Cup final, and there's a lot of emotion out there. You saw that with both teams. I would have loved to have won that match, even with not so beautiful football.".....so in all intense and purposes the silver hair toss-pot decided to cheat.... There was no Justification for the way the Dutch team behaved.... Spain won fair and square, shame on the Dutch team and there cynical attempt to foul their way to lift a trophy they had absolutely no right too...... ![]() ![]() ![]() |
