Why is that?

'Cos as a disinterested party it'd be a more exciting event if the underdog wins. 

"Disinterested" may be a little inaccurate though.  I've been watching the Dutch team throughout the tournament and now with the US out I'd prefer them to win.  There's also the sentimental feeling that the Dutch should've won in '74 and that winning it now might be some sort of reward for all those years of great football.

Spain looks real tough though so I have to pick them to win 1-0.   Gonna be fun though.

Spain  is silky smooth, and ball control is the name of the game. Spain, 2-1.

Paul the Psychic Octopus predicts Spain to win the World Cup, Germany to win the play-off to take third place. As this ol' cat lives part-time in Spain, I'll go along with that.

Mind you, I think he may have been influenced by the Spanish love for octopus tapas. 'Si, senor, I vote for Spain, I friendly cephalapod, I say you gonna win, please no eat me, huh?'

Clever critters, are octopi.

How badly will this bombshell effect the Dutch teams morale.  Only time will tell.

I will be cheering for the Dutch but actually have a bit of cash on Spain, so either way it will be a great Sunday.

Since the U.S. got knocked out I've been pulling for the Dutch and will be during the final. But after watching the way Spain handled Germany in the semis (who I thought was the most dangerous team in the tournament, Muller or no Muller), it's hard to be confident.

The Spaniards do dearly love to party. When Spain won the semi last week, mi amigo bartender Cico lined up the drinks on the house all night, and the pueblo lit up with fireworks. Wish I could be there manana - win or lose, there's going to be one hell of a fiesta.

Vamos, Espana!
