Preview of the final World Cup - Netherlands vs Spain

With the Netherlands and Spain to meet in the World Cup final at the City Stadium in Johannesburg on Sunday football, the only thing that can be expected, with possible is that there is new sample has the most exclusive club in football.

With the teams of South Africa to dominate until the quarter-final stage of the tournament, no one would have dared predict that the Netherlands and Spain will meet in the final. But with Argentina and Brazil underBring to the quarterfinals, was a European champion on the boards, especially the African teams do not justify before the tournament that their forecasts could be higher.

The finalists are two very talented teams, who served as an open, attacking brand of football, away from the game Grim, Italy and Germany as well as the recent tragedy in the distant past. Holland were at the post office on two occasions in 1974 and 1978, outdated, while Spain, the best performance before this problem is notsurpassed the record for the quarterfinals. This year, two teams were, ironically, the talent to use more courage and boldness, and less on the way to the final.

In sharp contrast to "total football", the Dutch soccer player percentage, energy costs, with little to boast of winning a world cup record in.

Denmark, Japan and Cameroon have been grist to the mill, the Netherlands, in the group stage. Slovakia has been the same, within 16, andMerwyjk men faced their first real challenge in the quarter-finals when they meet Brazil. Down by a goal after a lapse of defense, were the Netherlands, given a lifeline in the form of an own goal by Felipe Melo. Melo compounded his mistake out of stamps sent to Robben as the Dutch, now 2-1, were an unlikely victory crosses.

Skipper Giovanni van Bronckhorst put Holland in front with a Uruguay-35 yards from the left flank, which was probably the goal ofTournament.

Schneider and Robben then gave some warning of the Dutch master class, and the fight despite an injury-time from Uruguay, there was only one winner on the day.

Midfielder Mark von Bommel Holland column was strong, and together with De Jong, since returning from suspension, the Dutch should direct the course of the game because, in the final. Dutch will be of your service again right back to Gregory van der Wiel, and the return from suspension. In thatVan Bronckhorst is probably the last game for Holland, the captain for an encore of his performance against Uruguay hopes.

The pressure of expectation does not say Spain-favorites with Brazil in the pre-tournament predictions. Although less spectacular, have succeeded in Spain, except defennces between rival and once again during this tournament.

The first game loss to the Swiss turned out to be a blessing, served as master of the mindUnderperformance that has been Spain's Bane, in the past. Conscious flair for clinical efficiency, Spain has hardened his way past conflict, which seemed to deny the Spaniard is set as a score worked.

Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Sergio Busquets, the three-point support for the midfield production was David Villa, joint top contenders for the Golden Boot, with the Dutch, Schneider. Pedro Torres instead of form, in the semifinals, is probablyelse find a start after his fine figure in the semifinals. But without his hunting companion of his was the villa is not the same force against Germany, and Del Bosque was that factor in its selection of the team.

Carles Puyol added from the front is expected as a calming effect in the defense or as a force that led the attack.

Both teams enter this game on the back of five wins in a row.

A key battle will be between Wesley Schneider - related to 5Objectives, each with David Villa in the race for the Golden Shoe - back and Sergio Busquets and Xabi Alonso as a defense against the line.

For Spain, David Villa is likely to meet with Van der Wiel, who missed the Uruguay game through suspension. Van der Wiel could decide to keep up with his right-back position in defense, lone marauder Spain under control, rather than follow the dog at his side.

Holland should go with Schneider as a lone strikerin a 4-2-3-1 formation. With the return of De Jong and Van der Wiel, the defense appears to be less vulnerable than it was against Uruguay. Kuyt should have space for use on the left side, with Schneider, Robben and Van Persie, the attention of the Spanish defense.

For Spain, Pedro was able to discover, despite his performance against Germany to allow Villa to partner Torres. Gerard Pique was a decisive factor for the final defense for his great display in the semifinals.Del Bosque is to leave Villa to go for the Golden Boot, to add to its top scorer in Euro 2008, especially since he was a strike against the Germans.

I am reluctant to make a prediction for this game as it is sad to see, both teams would lose. The entry of Spain and Holland in the World Cup final is the best thing that could happen for the good of football, the efficiency is to ride in style, in contrast withProfit is the only thing that matters. The Netherlands has dominated an entire decade in 1970 to win the biggest prizes without football. Spain have found the type of genius that vorzuweisen with countries like Brazil, with nothing to gain except the last Euro 2008 championship.

There is no denying that Spain is the wider side. Wait and see emerge as the best team in the day ...
