We're heading for some extras in Johannesburg. But we have to finish the dream. David Villa promptly spoons it over and wide for good measure. I am Dutch but I support the football that Spain is playing." He has been a shadow of the player we know he is during this World Cup, and Pedro was a real livewire in their semi-final." OK, who had 14 minutes?

No choice for Howard Webb there, Now Sergio Ramos is cautioned for fouling Dirk Kuyt. In this tournament we have shown we have more than quality. Don't go anywhere, these change-arounds are spectacularly rapido. I don't want to leave. 02 Jul 2010 Quarter-final. Big one that for Vicente del Bosque. Arjen Robben pumps the ball into the Spain box but it's cleared.

As for Shakira's World Cup song, I don't think I'd get bored of it if it was on a loop for the next 70 years of my life. "Look, you've got two teams playing to their strengths. Only difference is this time they are standing either side of the Fifa World Cup Trophy. Anyway, there’s a very sketchy plan for this particular Sunday 11 July, but as long as we all appreciate that flexibility is king, it’ll run like a dream. Having correctly forecast all of Germany’s results so far in the tournament, the footballing foreseer (used it before I know, but I was pretty happy with it) now They were effectively a club team, since they were dominated by Barcelona players, and integrated into a sophisticated possession-pressing approach that had also become the national style.The game was being turned on its head as Barca and Spain were lifting almost every trophy above their heads. The stadium has been plunged into darkness. I’ll keep reminding you, but here’s how you take part on World Cup final day: "My word, you see that on the replay and you have to say Nigel de Jong is so, so lucky to still be on the pitch after that - what do you call it?

The Netherlands weren't one of the favourites before the tournament, but it's nice to see a bit of an outsider there. Spain still had to play a final that was in its own way a fitting distillation of everything that come before: a low-scoring battle; destruction against creation; attack against defence; counter-attack against possession; a contradiction in how the Dutch went against their ideals; a philosophical battle.“I would much prefer to win a very ugly game than lose a beautiful one,” said Arjen Robben. "The Dutch have become a little like the Germans of yesteryear: realism has replaced beautiful football. That removed some of the thrust from Spanish passing, and may have moved Xavi away from his best position. "The game is more open now than it has been at any stage so far." If you give this page a manual refresh then Jonathan Stevenson will be consigned to World Cup history - which is the best place for him, don't you think? Xavi defined and set the entire style, with Iniesta continuing and enhancing it, but what was so distinctive about Villa was that he fit it but was still so different. Robben, just outside the penalty area, chose to stay on his feet and Casillas again denied him.Spain had moved into the ascendancy as the match wore on, with Xavi increasingly influential.Fabregas replaced Alonso in the 87th minute and quickly made an impression by collecting a superb Iniesta pass, but the Arsenal man could find no way beyond Stekelenberg, who saved brilliantly with his legs.The complement was returned shortly afterwards but Iniesta opted not to strike from 18 yards and was eventually dispossessed by the excellent Gregory van der Wiel.Heitinger became the fifth man to be sent off in a World Cup final when he pulled back Iniesta on the edge of the area, giving Webb little choice but to hand him a second caution, and that seemed to spur Spain on for a final effort.Joris Mathijsen headed over for the Netherlands in what was their only good chance of the extra-time period before Iniesta struck his late and decisive blow.1974 World Cup final refereeing legend Jack Taylor:Wigan's Spanish manager Roberto Martinez on BBC Radio 5 live:I'm about 780 miles south-west of Johannesburg, where the final will take place in 94,700-capacity Soccer City Stadium, but don't you go thinking football fever has waned in this part of South Africa since the last match took place here on Tuesday (the Netherlands' 3-2 win over Uruguay in their semi-final).

What they do not want is a big gap in front of Joan Capdevila, leaving him exposed against Arjen Robben." Xavi slams the free-kick over the bar. Bot…

A bloke did that a minute or so again and was quickly floored." "The players are really not making this easy for (referee) Howard Webb are they?" The game has lost any edge, lost some pace. Why? The Netherlands take off Dirk Kuyt and send on winger Eljero Elia. I think sport does many good things and I hope football could lead to better relations in our country." "It's unbelievable, incredible. The even better news is that we are about 75 minutes away from kick-off of the World Cup final.

Our friends at Chance. They insisted they were the ones still trying to impose their game, to make the play.“I think we are involved in a battle to defend the soul of football,” Xavi said. First clumsy tackle of the evening and no, it's not Mark van Bommel. If you go into an opponent's chest with studs you're asking for trouble and De Jong has got off lightly there. Whoever owns the midfield, owns the game. The players aren't. From now on how you actually play no longer matters.

Fair play."
