2nd yellow for Puyol? Red for Iniesta?

But Robben should have made it 1-0, then we would've been the deserved Champions, now Spain is the deserved Champion :(

Offsides on Iniesta? Replay showed he was clearly a yard and a half ONsides. The defender steps up as the ball is kicked. He moved the wrong way hence the open shot.

Spain was better but Robben should have scored ONE.

I thought they deserved the trophy, they were made to look bad by constantly playing teams whose only intention was to stop Spain. Even Germany were fairly defensive against them, and in every game they outplayed the opposition and should have scored more than they did. That said they didn't play their best, but they still deserved it, especially as Holland just kicked the c**p out of Spain with no thoughts of playing football, they should have had more guys sent off.

Agree.

Argentina was said to be best team ... just all hype :lol:

Spain was balance team and best tactical plus clean game play.(only saw last two game's)
