I went into the game hoping for a Holland victory, but became steadfastly neutral towards the end, what with the dutch fouling and the spanish diving. Spain deserved winners of the World Cup though.
I'm glad Forlan won the Golden Ball anyway.
I dunno if Forlan really deserved it. Maybe Ineasta? (goal aside)
He totally did. Everyone one else was is decent teams. He basically carried Uruguay to the Semi's by himself.Quote:

In the end, I think the odds remained 50/50 throughout the entire match.
THE THING THAT BUGS ME MOST THOUGH (SPOILER)is that none of my friends, let alone pretty much anyone in Holland, would appreciate just celebrating second place. I made phone calls to pretty much anyone I know to make some party tonight, but no-one was in the mood. Obvious? Probably. Lame? IMO, definately. We ended up higher than Germany, Portugal, France and Italy, we've beaten Brazil and Uruguay in some nerve-wrecking matches; celebrate #2 people!
But no; there is NO party WHATSO-EVER. Shame, shame, shame...
What? Of course you wouldn't celebrate it. I never when United got beat by Barca in 2009. I felt like my stomach was beating my intestines up. Losing a final is the worst feeling imaginable because of that thing called hope. It builds to bursting until reality hits and you've never fallen as far. I'd prefer to get put out in the groups over losing a final.

Thank you Germany for crushing our hopes before they got too high.
