Well, third place certainly went to the team we all expected it to.

Uruguay gave them a good game though and Forlan inches away from putting them into extra time.

I hope next time we see Muller and Ozil it'll be in a Man Utd shirt.

Just the final to go now.

Outstanding 3rd place match today with consistent entertainment throughout the game. Either Forlan - or Muller - wins Player of the Tournament, or I don't recognize the award. On another note, Grand Master Paul is right on yet another match. I want a piece in case anyone ever gets to cook him; maybe I'll inherit his oracle powers and make millions on bets.

Simply amazing, I wanted Uruguay to win (Forlán fan here) but Paul was right once again. Hopefully he'll get a clean sheet and get tomorrow's result right as well XD

The match was quite fun, with errors and chances in every side. When Germany scored, I rooted for an equalizer so the match would last longer. Congratulations to both.

Muller is amazingly only in contention for the young player award.

Ozil or Schweinsteiger will probably nick the proper one ahead of Forlan.

Forlan *Shakes fist*.

I hope Paul isn't right so it is a hat trick of good predictions for me.

Before the tournament I said, Ozil would be a star, Chile or Paraguay would do well (Last 16, Quarters) and Netherlands would win.

Maybe I'm just as mystic as Paul.

I was expecting someone to at least score/win by the time I woke up but apparently not. :P Such a long and gruelling game, took them 118 minutes for someone to finally score. XD;

But yay, Spain are the FIFA'S 2010 Champions. :3 Paul was right!

I knew the comments would fly in now, I wanted people to comment as the match was playing so people could not listen to all my opinions on the insane amount of incidents.

Well all the fouls dont matter now anyway.

Congratulations Spain! (and went ¬_¬)

I said after Euro 2008 Iniesta best player on the planet, I dont think that now but guess who scored the crucial goal.

8 matches in 8, a 1/256 chance, and Paul has done it.

I think Spain deserved the way they played this match, dominating possession, as well as the fairer player out of the two. Congratulations to Spain, and goodbye to a great World Cup 2010 (minus the vuvuzelas).

I'm pretty surprised that Spain made it to the final.

Netherlands played pretty dirty through the match, if I'm right, they were 8 yellow cards in the whole game. Arjen Robben had some pretty obvious chances of scoring, too bad he didn't. Overall, Spain played a lot better than Netherlands. Not satisfied with the result but congrats to Spain.

I came here to congrat Spain for their winning!



NOT!
Portugal scored more goals on the group phase than Spain in all world cup. Netherlands had 8 players yellow carded and 1 red carded, Spain only five.. what's the nationality of the refere's comission president? And etc, etc, etc..
Also, the octopus always choose the flag with more red/hot colours, so of course he always guess right.

Now, less vuvuzelas, I really hope that become forbidden in Portugal, better football and.. CARREGA BENFICA!

Eeohnex, Netherlands got 9 yellow cards, everyone in the starting lineup of the Dutch got booked except for Kuyt, Stekelenburg and Sneijder. Heitinga got two yellows.

Spain win, they deserved it. I loved watching the Dutch players in the post-match handshake, they were pretty reluctant to shake hands. Forlan gets the Golden Ball, imo he deserved it (why couldn't he had played like this while he was in Manchester United?). Sneijder was second in Golden Ball, Ozil should've got the second place. Casillas too deserved the Golden Gloves.

Oh and bye vuvuzelas, you're banned in 2014, yay! But vuvzelas may hit the English Premier League, I hope not..

Well, watching the final match on a cinema, on 3D HD was definetly worth it. Specially since there were no ads, so we could watch the full ceremony. Casillas crying when Iniesta scored the goal was incredibly touching. He single-handledly ruined the best Dutch chances.

Andrés Iniesta Ballon D'or. Please.

Portugal scored more goals on the group phase than Spain in all world cup.
But football is not a matter of scoring a million goals, but just one more than your rival. If you beat North Korea by 7-0 and then you lose to Spain 1-0, you have scored 7 goals and conceded 1 and you are out of the World Cup. That's how it works.

Netherlands had 8 players yellow carded and 1 red carded, Spain only five.. what's the nationality of the refere's comission president? And etc, etc, etc..
It's fun that you suggest that the referee helped us when this received just a yellow card. Holland should have been playing with 9 when the extra time started.

Btw, Villar was also the president of said comission in 2002, when the referee didn't concede us two perfectly legal goals that lead us to a penalty shootout defeat. Just saying.

Why must he be fired?

I watched the match and he got almost every decision right. If its because quite a few players got booked, they did deserve them. The only decision I can remember him getting wrong was the free kick towards the end of the game that should have been a corner due to a deflection, but a goal kick was given instead.

Congrats to Spain though, the best team won, not just on the night but over the course of the tournament and over the past few years. And of course to Went. ;D
