Bah, they snapped under the Spanish pressure. Gotta agree there that it was a dirty, dirty match and we should have been with 9 at the end of the first 90 mins.

I've got to defend the team a little bit, as they usually don't play dirty like this. As I said, it looked like they simply snapped under the pressure Spain applied in the first 15-20 minutes. That, combined with a yellow-happy referee and the tension of the final match seemed to be too much for the players to keep their cool and stay professional.

Don't get me wrong, there is no real excuse for this one foul match, but it's still one foul match. We're not like that in any other match.

I thought there should have been more red cards and Holland obviously had decided pre-game that they were going to play very, very rough, but yes, you are right, the Dutch do not normally play like that.

well, congrats Spain. Before the game I wanted holland to win, but in the end I was glad to see Spain win. Our orange neighbours didn't deserve to win such a foul orgy.

U say it's one foul... Well there were a few other fouls that were pretty nasty. And there should have been a penalty when Villa?! was fouled. And before the game Holland was the team with most fouls, so it's not just this game. They do play hard. It's not that I dislike it a bit rough but this was to much.
