The final was a dull affair, with very few moments to get excited about for the neutral which, overall didn't really reflect on the World Cup as a whole. Both teams clearly wanted to win, and it's fair to say, they went about it in completlely different ways; Spain - pass, pass, pass, and Holland - hack, hack, hack. Poor Howard Webb, he had a tough night.Before the game, I wanted Holland to win. Mainly because I wanted Paul the Octopus to get his prediction wrong, but also because I am not a big fan of Spain. I like the way they pass - it's great, but sometimes I just want them to have a shot, or get the ball in the box with a beautiful cross. However, I can't complain, the way they play has won them a well deserved World Cup, and those players have earned themselves a place in their countries sporting history.
