Sadly the Dutch team (whom I was cheering for) didn't quite finish #1; so the wine tastes consoling and not victorious tonight. Congratulations to all Spaniards on an excellent World Cup team performance. And by all accounts, it sounds like South Africa should be congratulated too on hosting, and pulling off, a great tournie. Notwithstanding those vuvuzelas. |

If I were that referee, I'd avoid any vacations in Holland for the rest of my life. Why Robert The game was very bad tempered throughout, mainly due to the poor and unsporting play by the Dutch team. The 14 yellow cards were testimony to the bad tempers, with the largest portion to the Dutch team (which I think was uncharacteristic of them). The main thing was the ref was firm, and never lost control of the game (despite the bad temper). The Dutch play should have had at least 3 red cards and that number of players sent off. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

Is it all oveR yet? Can I come out now? Probably missed by most of the world, but the Canadian Football League started last week. Hockey can't be far behind. |

The Glory of Spain An article from the Sports Illustrated---> by Joe Posnanski The best article I have found so far about the match and the performances of the spanish team in English speaking newspapers/magazines. Very good. |

Thankfully, its all over now, for another four years. In that time, I doubt that many men will view things in perspective. Besides, I hate football. How men can become so absorbed by such a silly game, is quite beyond me. Don't take life too seriously, as you'll never come out of it alive! |

If I were that referee, I'd avoid any vacations in Holland for the rest of my life. I didn't see it that way at all. I thought the Dutch played their normal game and were doing nothing differently than they had throughout the tournament. The majority of yellow cards should have been simply free kicks. I think the bad tempers started coming from frustration at the number of calls that seemed one sided. I can't say anything bad about the play of Spain. They deserved a win because of their superior ball control, but I can understand the feeling players get when they think they are under a microscope.

If I were that referee, I'd avoid any vacations in Holland for the rest of my life. I bought some Heineken beer before the match because it is a very good type of beer, but after this final World Cup (not WC match) match I think I will not drink/buy it again----->la patada tipo Taekwon-do a Xabi Alonso This Dutch player should have been banned right away for a permaban! As the german reporter/speaker said, the referee showed him a yellow card because he saw the foul, but it was a foul for a red card. |

As a neutral spectator I would say that the Dutch deserved more red cards. Tullio |

As a football fan, the World Cup as regards good football & sportsmanship, ended after the 2nd round. |
