I agree, the biggest floppers and whiners should always win. It wouldn't be FIFA soccer without a champ like that.
I guess the Spaniards are going to get a serious beating after the final whistle...with Mark van Bommel punching the living hell out of at least five Spanish players on his own
france, greece in the euro, italy, spain....defense wins championships, unless you are brazil on occasion

The yellows attest to the fact that Netherlands tried to stop the flow of the game more often than the Spaniards. That was an effective and smart tactic, but Spain was the better team. All in all, though, the Dutch were very close to scoring. Yet, they didn't come to play. From the first minute it was obvious. They came to hold the Spanish and play counters. Which was the _best_ thing they could do. Still, the better team did win.
