2-1
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Well done Spain.


But I really couldn't enjoy it.  Terrible officiating even in the final.  :rolleyes:

I only saw the second half, but saw some terrible calls.  Most notably when Robben had a 1v1 run and was obviously held at the box with no whistle.

Then in overtime, a Dutch penalty kick is obviously deflected off Spain's wall, goes just wide... and Spain gets a goal kick...   :rolleyes:  Not 30s later Spain scores,  the ball shouldn't have even been on the Dutch end for Pete's sake, it should have been a Dutch corner..   :furious


Either FIFA officiating is a total joke (no goal line camera, no video review, huge blown calls, completely subjective fouls, etc)    or the games are fixed.

 :lol    I was a little hoping for penalties towards the end there.   I think Spain deserved it overall though.

At least the ref kept it 11-11 most of the way.  Could've easily tossed DeJong for the karate kick in the first half.  Bad luck for the Dutch in the end, they fought hard enough to win.

Yeah, all he did was gift Spain a free goal kick that set up their goal.   :rolleyes:

C'mon even 12yr old rec league refs don't screw up calls like that, and if the head official didn't see the deflection off the Spanish wall (though I can't see how anyone could miss it.)  The line judge sure as heck saw it.

Something's very fishy with the officiating.  :noid

Something definitely wrong with the referee. He should have sent 2 dutch players off in the first few minutes. Good game, and the better team won.
