I wasn't impressed with Holland in the semi-final. I think they'll fail to find their footing on this occasion against a side like Spain who keep the ball so well.

They played without van der Wiel and de Jong who were suspended but I agree. Spain will suffocate them like they did to Germany.

Good luck to all the Spaniards and Dutch here. I hope we'll get to witness an instant classic.

If Holland score first, they'll win.

Van Bommel to get at least 1 yellow card.

That's like saying Tony will make at least one turnover ;) Van Bommel makes a yellow worthy fouls in every game.

Heitinga was lucky with that clearance in his own six yard box. That could have easily gone in his own goal.

Spain almost scored on the free kick too. Nice header from Ramos and a good save from the keeper who got low very quickly to pat it away.

Holland are doing a nice job pressing Spain in their own half.

Making Spain pass it along the backline and pressuring their defenders into making decisions.

A lot of yellow cards ... hope this match isn't decided by someone being sent off.

Yeah the ref is handing them out quick at the moment.

Hopefully he doesn't send anyone off unless absolutely necessary.

Spain just absolutely dominating the ball at this point.

They best watch out for a quick counter as their defenders(backfielders?) keep coming more and more forward as they dominate the ball in the Dutch side of the pitch.
