Well, I meant after normal time of course.

They were a team and Holland wasnt. I agree most cards were fair, but there were a few tackles from behind on Van Persie as well that shouldve been yellow as well.
Disappointing play from the Dutch, Sneijder played the worse game of his life. Never liked his play this cup but his ego showed tonight. Robben is a kid, shouldve scored and kept his mouth shut.
I didnt think the referee was that good, but we cant complain when we are playing crap like this.
EDIT:
The offside was the ball before.Also I thought the Spanish players were playing the ref a lot. I have seen 3 people falling down in the box with only 2 defenders who were capable of making the foul? Those shouldve been awarded the yellow card as well.
Again: Judging from all games Spain is the fair winner.
Sneijder and Robben weren't great, but no Dutch player was really. Shame of van Bronckhorst to go out of his career as a runner-up but he's had a pretty good career eh? Van Persie was crap but like Torres, he's coming into a major tournament out of form and fitness - Huntelaar should have been ahead of him but that said, the way you were playing meant it didn't really matter who you picked, it wasn't a system for beautiful football and individuals to shine. Anyway, it's over now and we have to all move on and look ahead to 2012! Which at this rate England won't make again lol...Originally posted by Remy:Deserved win for Spain, they played football or at least tried it. It was a tough game with some incorrect referee decisions but that's all in the game! Glad we made it this far.
Two notes, de Jong should've received red and van Persie is Dutch worst player of the tournament. Hope he will be removed from striker position after this WC.
like I said to Chris, van Persie shouldn't have been picked as first choice, it shouldn't have been down to him - no form, no fitness. Ah well lol...
