Lets hope we do davek. Never thought I'd ever be that serious about Holland, but if we lose the final now, I'll be devestated. Confident we'll pulll this off though.

We need to see Robben flying at Capdevilla...and Van Persie comes alive as a hit man again. The thing with Spain for me is that if they have to turn to defend it takes them a while to get a head of steam up with their passing game. They turn the screw very slowly. If Holland can get them facing their own box often enough they're in business.

Hup Holland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Spain will beat Holland, it'll be one sided in terms of possession and shots at goal. My baby octopus told me that. Seriously I don't see Holland capable of doing much. Too slow and cautious.

This.

Holland has a whole lot more in their attack than Germany did. Robben, Van Persie, Sneijder, Kuyt. Spain will have their hands full compared to today.

I'm confident we'll have the majority of the posession, create more changes and have more shots on goal. On top of that, the Dutch will beat Spain. Never seen a Dutch team before, that's so determined and full of confidence, like this one.

Hopefully the Dutch FA can afford to pay for that extra weight in luggage, when they fly home. The World Cup will be ours come Sunday night.(y)
 
Howard Webb is the ref.

As the Dutchies are all baldies or skinheads I fully expect some slaphead solidarity going on.

Nailed on Dutch win.

Not going to dampen your party mood. For sentiment reasons, I want Holland to win it. My head says otherwise.

As for possession wise, I don't think any team in this world can out possess and out pass Spain. They are the undisputed king of possession. Whether they will score more goals with that possession is a matter of discussion, and that is their main concern imo.

They are known to have bad scoring days once in a while, VS team USA and Switzerland comes to mind. This is the deciding factor imo.

Good luck to you Dutch Toffee.
