Oh, and in a final parting note regarding the World Cup: I'm a firm believer in diversity, as well as giving jobs to the physically-challenged. However, I do wonder about the employment of blind people as referees. I think FIFA should look into this practice. LOL.
Jeez. I can't believe that the ref overlooked that obvious second yellow card on Puyol. Spain should've been playing with 10 players from then on.

But again, as in life, some will do anything. Especially, iron booted kicks delivered to thighs and chest of opponent players by Van Bommel and De Jong, make me think that it was a game of kick boxing.
Johan Cryuff, the greatest Dutch player ever says so.

And every report I have read says so. Even the Dutch coach has acknowledged that they did not play a clean game. I am not emotional and I do not have any relationship with the spanish team. I am only talking from the perspective of favouring BEAUTY against BULLYING. The way this Spanish team played there was no other way to stop them other than body tackling (instead of ball tackling). This has happened enough. In Pele's heyday, 3 players would attach to him and bring him down. After a particular match, Pele left the field crying.
Surely there might have been lapses but I never thought that the referee was blind. There was a scramble in Dutch penalty area when one after another, 3 spanish players were brought down -- Iniesta, Xavi and the third I do not remember.
I have written long because I love football. Please pardon me.

Player was not offside at all, the goal was perfectly legal, also puyol didn't deserved any second yellow card, the only mistake referee made was that just before gaol was scored, holland deserved a corner, somehow referee couldn't see that. I do say spaniards were maintaining the cool and dutch had lost it from very begining, they were very desparate. Spain deserved the victory, I think they only scored 8 goals in the tournament, but their defense line and captain goalkeeper were superb.
My favourite team was Argentina, but sadly got knocked off.

It's not about being the best player, it's about scorring. The goal would not have happened if the referee paid better attention and Holland would have a change with the penalty shots.

You don't think this deserved a yellow card, at least? (I personally think it was a red card in and of itself, according to the "last man" rule...)Player was not offside at all, the goal was perfectly legal, also puyol didn't deserved any second yellow card, the only mistake referee made was that just before gaol was scored, holland deserved a corner, somehow referee couldn't see that.

I also think the referees obviously missed a bunch of times where the goalie's hand touched the ball, making it a corner, but it was declared a goal kick instead. He did this twice for Spain that I caught, and then there was the time that he gave the Netherlands a corner when it wasn't deserved. Major props for the Netherlands kicking that one to the Spanish goalie.
I think Spain deserved to win, as they played better overall. I just hate for the World Cup to be besmirched by such bad reffing. There were so many obvious mistakes, that the ref could have seriously impacted the game by making these wrong calls.
Oh, and Atanu, I played football all through middle and high school. I don't know how physical the sport is played in Spain or the Netherlands, but in English soccer leagues, it's even more violent than what was going on in this last game. Personally, I think Algeria was the most violent team in the World Cup (that I saw...I didn't catch every game....).

I said you may be correct from your standpoint. But no expert, no player, has said what you say. If there was one occassion that Spain should have got a red card, then there were 3 occassions for Holland, especially the kick boxing episode.
Just compare the high technical level of play that happened in Germany-Spain match.
I repeat that I am not emotional because spain is not my country. And the funniest thing is that it is Holland who taught the world about Total football. Because Algeria placyed rougher cannot be the justification. Well, I now look forward to 2014.

as to the world cup was huge disappointment to me because England just did not turn up.
As for the final i wanted the Dutch to win, unfortunately their tactic were all wrong and played such rough game, all those yellow cards and lack off red card, stopped the flow off the game. the referee had a tough job to handle.
I think England were the most unlucky in the refereeing decision, although Tavez offside decision was bad enough.
do you follow premiership football?

The US commentators on the match mentioned all of the things that I mentioned. I don't remember who they were for that match.
Best game of the Cup, IMO.
