This is the last game and actually the most interesting one.

Netherlands came through the tournament winning all games. Playing solid football at the back and creative up front. After Robben came back Oranje got back this spark which helps win tie games. The back four (five with keeper) may not be a world class but in front of them operates two vacuum cleaners – De Jong and Van Bommel.

Spain is world class on every position. In 6 world cup games they lost only 2 goals, Netherlands 5. They have fantastic keeper who can save the day even if defenders make mistake. The world’s best midfield and 2 classy attackers – Spain is strong favorite of this game.

It is not sure if Villa will play, because of dead leg injury but his place will be taken by Torres who is arguably even better attacker and has something to prove during this World Cup.

Spain already lost to Switzerland during this tournament so they are not unbeatable but Oranje will have to play the game of their life (like against Brazil) and have a lot of luck.

Both teams have attacking mentality but I think they start very carefully. If nothing surprising will happen the real game will start after second half and closer to end should be more attractive.

Who do you think will win?
